Winter Olympics 2026 radio schedule
There is a catch. There are few blocks of live coverage dedicated solely to the Winter Olympics, with coverage set to focus on Team GB medal prospects.
You can expect reactive coverage from across the Games, with major moments to be covered as and when they arrive.
Therefore, we cannot confirm a radio schedule for the Games as such because, frankly, there isn't one.
However, we are informed that events such as curling could feature prominently as the tournament progresses should Team GB advance through to the latter stages, while short runs from the bobsleigh, skeleton and figure skating will be broadcast throughout the days when Brits are in action.
