The Olympic meeting is approaching. After four years of waiting, the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games will officially begin on Friday February 6 (even if some events start as early as Wednesday 4) and will last until Sunday 22, to the delight of winter sports lovers.
On the program: alpine skiing, biathlon and even figure skating, all with international stars and a French delegation of 161 athletes determined to beat the medal record (15) from the Sochi Games (2014) and Pyeongchang (2018).
As with the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, these Games will be broadcast in full on Eurosport as well as on France Télévisions. On leparisien.fr, we will accompany you throughout the day, with lives, reports and new content.
100% of the Olympic Games on Eurosport
Whether on its television channels or on the HBO Max site and application, Eurosport will broadcast 865 hours of live (live transcription) during the Milan-Cortina 2026 Games, from February 4. All events, even those simultaneously, of the 16 disciplines will be broadcast.
The opening (February 6) and closing (February 22) ceremonies will also be broadcast by Eurosport from 8:30 p.m. The Chalet Club JO show, presented by Géraldine Weber and Romain Bouchenot, will be available throughout the day. Many consultants will also bring their expertise to the channel’s channels, including Sandrine Bailly, Florence Baverel (biathlon), Jean-Pierre Vidal, Johan Clarey (alpine skiing) and Kevin Rolland (freestyle).
A free and unencrypted offer on France Télévisions
Like Eurosport, France Télévisions will begin broadcasting the Winter Olympics on February 4. The public service will provide 15 hours of live broadcast per day, from 10 a.m. to midnight, whether on France 2, 3 or 4.
For the occasion, a new sports channel is being launched, which will be accessible 24 hours a day on the France.tv application and which “will broadcast live Games events and exclusive content every day outside of transmission hours”, specifies the group in a press release.
The opening and closing ceremonies will also be broadcast on the group’s national channels. France Télévisions will also have a set in the heart of Milan to best follow these Winter Games in the company of Cécile Grès, Matthieu Lartot, Olivia Leray, Fabien Lévêque and Laurent Luyat.
In total, 22 consultants will accompany the journalists and bring their expertise in each of the disciplines, including Nathalie Péchalat (figure skating), Marie Dorin (biathlon), Luc Alphand and Carole Montillet (alpine skiing) and even Ophélie David on set.
Continuous monitoring on the Parisien website
To avoid missing anything from the Olympic fortnight in real time, also remember to connect to the parisien.fr website and its page dedicated to the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic Games. With three special correspondents in Italy (Romain Baheux, Éric Bruna and Sandrine Lefèvre) as well as a sports editorial team mobilized in Paris, you will miss absolutely nothing of the highlights, the French medals, the small and big stories of these Games.
Every day, a continuous live broadcast for 9 hours until the end of the events and dedicated live streams will allow you to follow the entire events as if you were there, whether it is the announced raid of the French biathlon, the expected medals in freestyle or in skating (artistic and speed) and, we hope, some good surprises in alpine skiing.
You will also be able to read portraits, exclusive interviews, reports as close as possible to the athletes or their loved ones and find all the practical information (program, French people involved, medal table, etc.)…
