Warner Bros Discovery has revealed a first look at its studios for the upcoming Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026.
The purpose-built studios will broadcast live coverage of the games, which take place from 6-22 February 2026.
Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) will broadcast from the Nations Village in Cortina d'Ampezzo. The purpose-built studio housed over two floors will serve as Eurosport’s pan-European production hub with dedicated sets for Italy, Germany, Norway, and Poland delivering local language shows.
It will also house an extensive virtual studio enabling analysis of different sports and will welcome athletes and guests throughout the games to deliver its coverage.
WBD’s games coverage will be available to HBO Max customers in Europe as well as Discovery+ in various territories.
HBO Max coverage includes Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Italy, where viewers will be able to watch live Olympics content on the platform for the first time following its launch in January 2026.
Subscribers to HBO Max and Discovery+ will be able to watch every competition, involving all 2,900 athletes competing in 116 medal events, broadcast live from the Olympic Winter Games over 19 days.
WBD’s linear coverage will be available on Eurosport across Europe and on TNT Sports in the UK and Ireland.
WBD is the home of the Olympics in Europe and is an official broadcaster in 49 markets. It has shown the Olympics since the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 after securing the rights in 2015. WBD has partnered with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and European Broadcasting Union (EBU) to obtain the live rights for the next four Olympics – covering Milano Cortina 2026; LA 2028; French Alps 2030 and Brisbane 2032.
Warner Bros Discovery (WBD) recently stated that it is considering a sale, after "multiple parties" made “unsolicited” offers to buy the company. Discover more here.
