We’ve included a link to the show’s schedule here so you won’t miss a thing.

The recap program, hosted by NBC Olympics host Rebecca Lowe, will feature special guests, including actor Stanley Tucci, who will present travel vlog-style segments on the show. During the opening ceremony on Feb. 5, three-time Olympic gold medalist Shaun White joined Lowe in the broadcast booth for the famed Parade of Athletes.

In 2021, Snoop Dogg spearheaded a recap show for the Tokyo Olympics alongside comedian Kevin Heart titled Olympic Highlights With Kevin Hart and Snoop Dogg. The rapper is currently in attendance at the 2026 Olympics, acting as Team USA’s honorary coach, according to NBC.

Their job is to tell you what to watch for, spotlighting key storylines of the upcoming Winter Games. That way, you’ll be up to date on all the happenings, even if you can’t tune in to all the events yourself.
