Story Highlights
NBCUniversal has big plans for Peacock during its Legendary February , unveiling a host of new live-streaming features for its coverage of the the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, Super Bowl LX, and 2026 NBA All-Star Weekend next month. Most notably, Rinkside Live and Courtside Live (first announced last year) - launching for ice hockey, figure skating and basketball - will allow fans to choose from multiple curated feeds of immersive, never-before-seen views, while still keeping track of the main action.
Additionally, Peacock will offer new Olympics-related games on its mobile app, including Prediction Games for figure skating and ice hockey; a daily Olympics Picks game spanning multiple events; and Olympics trivia, which will be available from Jan. 24 to Feb. 23.
Given NBCU's breadth of marquee sports this February, we're offering Peacock users new, fun ways to engage and watch on their terms, with unprecedented access to moments they've never seen before and stand-out audio and picture quality, says Jim Denney, Chief Product Officer, Global Streaming and NBCUniversal Media Group. From behind-the scenes access as athletes prepare for competition to unique perspectives, Rinkside Live and Courtside Live put fans in control and take them deeper into the sports they love to celebrate, and the culture and stories that surround them.
Peacock will present thousands of hours of NBC Sports' coverage of the Winter Games from Feb. 6-22 through a dedicated Olympics hub tailored to both avid and casual fans.
Rinkside Live: Coaching Cam, Training Room, Bench Cam, and More New on Peacock for the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympic Games is Rinkside Live, a first-of-its-kind offering that will amplify the streaming experience of two marquee sports, ice hockey and figure skating, to include new angles of some of the biggest moments of the Olympics.
During select events, curated camera angles on Peacock on mobile will give fans the unique vantage point of live, behind-the-scenes footage of athletes' Olympics moments. On TV and web, fans will be able to view these same curated angles in a Multiview experience.
For select figure skating events, camera options will include Coaching Cam, which will offer a view of each skater's coaching area, while a fitness cam captures the Training Room, revealing the intensity and emotion as elite athletes prepare for their Olympic moment.
Ice hockey fans can experience Bench Cam for select games, which will stay locked on each team's bench throughout the game to capture player reactions and heated rivalries, including real-time celebrations of goals.
Rinkside Live will also offer a Highlights Hub for ice hockey and figure skating, delivering vertical video playlists of Winter Olympics Highlights to fans tuning in on mobile, so they can catch up on key moments.
Popular features from Peacock's award-winning Paris Olympics experience will return for the Milan Cortina Games, including Gold Zone, Discovery Multiview, Live Actions, in-page sports hubs, interactive schedule, medal standings and expanded search. Peacock's Live in Browse feature and real-time Winter Olympics Highlights in vertical video, which both launched last year, will be available for live events during the Olympics.
The new Olympics mini-games on the Peacock mobile app will include specific Prediction Games for figure skating and ice hockey; a daily Olympics Picks game spanning multiple events each day; and Olympics trivia, which will feature questions about athletes, sports and the history of the Olympics.
Courtside Live: Star Spotlight, Home and Away Team Views, and Hot Highlights
First announced last year, Courtside Live is a new NBA viewing experience available on TV and mobile that brings fans into the arena and connects them with the culture around the league. The specially curated viewing experience will spotlight such moments as player arrivals showcasing players' style, as well as pregame shoot-arounds, player spotlights, and courtside reactions from celebrity row and both teams' benches.
Courtside Live will debut during the 2026 NBA US vs World All-Star Game on Feb. 15 at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT, the first US vs. World format, and will be available for select NBA games throughout the rest of the season. On mobile, fans can navigate between a selection of curated feeds of alternate game angles. On TV and web, Courtside Live will show those same available angles in a Multiview experience.
During the live games, fans can navigate between Star Spotlight, highlighting standout players on the court, and Home Team or Away Team views that will stay focused on each team's bench to catch player reactions.
Hot Highlights will curate moments from the game and beyond, showcasing key plays, as well as the culture of the league, from tunnel looks, to interviews, to celebrity fans in the stands.
For NBA All-Star Weekend Feb. 13-15, fans will be able to enjoy many of the features that launched for the NBA's debut on Peacock, including Can't Miss Highlights, Peacock ScoreCard, Live in Browse, and Catch Up with Key Plays.
Super Bowl LX and Beyond: Catch Up with Key Plays and Live ActionsPeacock features available during Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 will include Catch Up with Key Plays and Live Actions, so football fans can easily follow the action of the Big Game and discover other content across Peacock.
