Winter Olympics 2026 curling on TV: Channel, schedule, live stream

There is something special about curling at the Winter Olympics.

While it doesn't have the thrills and spills of many of the more animated events, there is something almost mesmerising about the duel of strategy and skill that plays out on the ice.

Ultimately, it's about outscoring your opponent by sliding granite stones closer to the target, the 'button' at the centre of the other end of the sheet of ice, across 10 rounds.

But the tactics and tension involved mean there is so much more to it than that, which is why it'll have viewers glued to their sofas throughout the course of the Games.

Team GB scooped two curling medals in Beijing two years ago, a gold and a silver, and there is hope more will follow in Italy this time around.

RadioTimes.com brings you our guide to curling at the Winter Olympics 2026.

When is Winter Olympics 2026 curling?

The men's tournament starts on Wednesday 11th February and finishes on Saturday 21st February.

The women's tournament gets going on Thursday 12th February and runs until Sunday 22nd February.

Team GB curling at the Winter Olympics 2026

Team GB will mount a challenge for medals in all three curling events at Milano Cortina 2026 – the mixed doubles, men's, and women's tournaments.

First up, mixed duo Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds will look to add an Olympic gold to the world title they won in 2021.

Mouat will skipper in the men's tournament, with Team GB looking to go one better from the silver they won at Beijing 2022.

Hammy McMillan Jr, Bobby Lammie, and Grant Hardie were all part of the team four years ago, while Kyle Waddell returns after making his debut at Pyeongchang 2018.

Rebecca Morrison leads the women's team, aiming to win back-to-back golds after glory in Beijing. Dodds played her part in that success four years ago, but Morrison, Sophie Jackson, Sophie Sinclair and Fay Henderson are all making their Olympic debut.
