Multiview 

Between snowboarding, figure skating, and all the new sports added to the 2026 Winter Olympics, there are dozens of events you won't want to miss — and that's where Peacock's Multiview feature comes in handy. Rather than potentially missing some major moments, Peacock's Multiview allows you to watch multiple live Olympic events on one screen simultaneously.  

Multiview stole the show in Paris, and it will be better than ever with this year’s Winter Olympics. With Discovery Multiview, you can watch up to four different sporting events all at once. Curated by the NBC Sports team, rest assured you won’t miss any of the key action with this feature. Peacock also offers Traditional Multiview, showcasing the action within one sport (e.g. curling or hockey), giving you a unique perspective. With Multiview, you get to control what you want to watch. Fans can easily bring any of the views full screen at any time.  

This feature is perfect for when: Alpine skiing and bobsledding are happening at the same time, and you can’t bring yourself to choose just one to watch.  

Rinkside Live

Peacock's new Rinkside Live feature will make you feel like you're watching the latest hockey game or figure skating event from right outside the rink. (Can't you just smell the ice?) Users will enjoy a dynamic vertical view on their phones, plus live highlights and multiple camera angles, alongside the traditional broadcast. Watching on your TV, tablet, or laptop? You can see all camera angles simultaneously via Rinkside and feel so close to the action, you may as well be in it!  

Click on Rinkside Live on either Peacock’s homepage or the Olympics hub to be taken to this cool new feature. 

This feature is perfect for when: You want to see Ilia Malinin’s quadruple axel up close. From camera angles that put you right next to the athlete. 

Can't Miss Highlights

With the 2026 Winter Olympics happening multiple time zones away in Italy, Peacock's Can't Miss Highlights will help you stay on top of all the action at your convenience. Available on the Peacock mobile app, users can swipe through vertical stories, just like you would on Instagram, to get quick recaps of the Games or other big moments.  

This feature is perfect for when: You need to catch up on that Laila Edwards hockey play everyone’s talking about.
