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

Get ready to see Olympians turn on the style, with snowboarding returning to our screens at Milano-Cortina 2026.

It may only have been added to the Winter Olympics in 1998 but the sport has established itself as a staple of the Games and, for many, appointment viewing.

The halfpipe, slopestyle, and big air events are all about impressing the judges with huge flight and big tricks, while speed matters beyond all else in the snowboard cross and parallel slalom.

Medals on the mountain tend to be a rarity for Team GB but they head into Milano-Cortina 2026 with optimism that several of their snowboarders, including rising star Mia Brookes, could end up on the podium.

Fans across the UK will be keen to tune in to get behind the British hopes and just enjoy the show, with the BBC and TNT Sports set to offer extensive coverage.

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

Snowboarding at the Winter Olympics begins on Wednesday 5th February, with the start of the men's big air event, and concludes on Wednesday 18th February, with the men's slopestyle final.

Team GB snowboarding at the Winter Olympics 2026

19-year-old Mia Brookes, a generational snowboarding talent, was one of Team GB's great medal hopes ahead of her Olympic debut.

She finished fourth in the big air event but could still win a medal in the slopestyle, where she became the sport's youngest world champion in 2023 and has two Winter X-Games gold medals.

Maisie Hill finished 29th in the women's big air at her first Games and will join Brookes in the slopestyle, while fellow debutant Txema Mazet-Brown finished 21st in the men's big air.

Charlotte Bankes arrives at her fourth Winter Olympics, aiming to make her mark in the snowboard cross. She'll compete in the women's event and in the team competition alongside Huw Nightingale, who also goes in the men's snowboard cross.

Bankes and Nightingale finished 6th in the team event at Beijing 2022 but will be hunting a medal this time, having won the World Championship title and a World Cup gold medal since the last Games.
