How to Watch & Stream the 2026 Paralympic Winter Games (March 6-15) on Peacock

While the sun has set on the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina, it’s nearly time for the Winter Paralympics to take center stage in Italy for the third time, following in the historic footsteps of Rome 1960 (Summer) and Turin 2006 (Winter). 

The 2026 Paralympic Winter Games promise nine days of high-speed alpine runs, bone-rattling hockey, and exhilarating moments of athletic precision that not only redefine what’s possible on snow and ice, but do so in stunningly spectacular fashion. With the world’s best para athletes set to descend on northern Italy’s frosty Dolomites, Milan Cortina will once again transform into more than a dreamy winter backdrop — the alpine region will morph back into an athletic proving ground of the highest caliber, where speed meets will, and resilience is carved into ice and snow.

First held from February 21–28, 1976, in Örnsköldsvik, Sweden, the Paralympic Winter Games are an international multi-sport event for athletes with physical, visual, and intellectual impairments. Governed by the International Paralympic Committee, the Paralympic Winter Games feature disciplines such as para alpine skiing, para biathlon, para cross-country skiing, para ice hockey or sled hockey, wheelchair curling, and para snowboard. 

The 2026 Paralympic Winter Games span approximately 50 delegations with nearly 600 athletes set to compete in 79 medal events across six sports. Balancing ingenuity with fairness, each event is meticulously designed to level the playing field while simultaneously preserving the speed, skill and uncompromising intensity of world-class competition. 

When are the 2026 Paralympic Winter Games?

The 2026 Paralympic Winter Games will be held March 6–15, 2026, following the conclusion of the Olympic Winter Games in northern Italy. Competitions will take place across venues in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, continuing the shared-host model that defines the Winter Paralympics.

The Paralympic Winter Games will officially begin with a globally televised Opening Ceremony at the Arena di Verona on March 6 and conclude with a Closing Ceremony on March 15. Blending Italian pageantry with the spirit and storytelling of the Paralympic movement, beyond the medal podium, these two celebratory spectacles are must-see moments for any true fan of sport.
