The 2026 Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony (NBC, 2:30 p.m.) caps two weeks of action. While the opening ceremony was in four locations, this one will be in one: historic Verona Arena, a Roman amphitheater built in 30 AD. Its theme “Beauty in Action” will celebrate Italian heritage, art and sport, with performers that include ballet dancer Roberto Bolle, singer Achille Lauro and producer Gabry Ponte. And there will be the handoff to the next Winter Olympics site — the French Alps in 2030. The event will repeat in primetime at 9 p.m. on NBC after highlights from the entire games that begin at 5 p.m.
Should you want to watch the final events live, they include the very high profile men’s hockey gold medal final of U.S. vs. Canada (NBC, 8:10 a.m.), as well as the final run of the four-man bobsled (USA, 6:35 a.m.; NBC, 7:15 a.m.), Switzerland vs. Sweden (NBC, 7 a.m.) in the women’s curling final, and the women’s 50 kilometer mass start classic (NBC, 11:45 a.m.).
