Rebecca Lowe will continue her long-standing role with NBC Olympics, serving as a daytime host for the seventh consecutive Olympic Games at the XXV Olympic Winter Games in Milan Cortina, NBC Sports announced. The Opening Ceremony of the 2026 Olympic Winter Games is scheduled for February 6, 2026, airing on NBC and Peacock.
Lowe’s latest assignment extends her record as the longest-tenured daytime Olympic host among current NBC Olympics broadcasters. In addition to anchoring NBC’s daytime coverage, she will also host the primetime Milan Cortina Olympic Preview Show. The special will air Thursday, February 5, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and Peacock. The one-hour program will air the night before the Opening Ceremony. It will focus on the top storylines, athletes, and events heading into the Games.
“Rebecca is a natural in our daytime window as she seamlessly transitions live from sport to sport while incorporating analysts and conducting entertaining interviews,” said Molly Solomon, executive producer of NBC Olympics. “As her streak attests, she has many fans among Olympic viewers, and we are excited she will be hosting our primetime Olympic preview special the night before the Opening Ceremony.”
Lowe made her Olympic hosting debut during NBC’s coverage of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi on NBCSN. She went on to host Olympic coverage across NBC and NBCSN for the 2016 Rio Games. Lowe also hosted the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Games for the network.
More recently, Lowe served as a host for NBC’s coverage of the Tokyo Olympics. Also in the same role for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Her work during the Paris Games was recognized with a Sports Emmy Award. The honor came as part of NBCUniversal’s coverage, which won Outstanding Live Special – Championship Event. It further cemented Lowe’s reputation as one of the most trusted and versatile studio hosts in major international sports coverage.
Beyond the Olympics, Lowe has been a cornerstone of NBC Sports’ soccer programming since joining the network in 2013. She continues to serve as the lead host for NBC’s Premier League coverage, headlining Premier League Mornings, Premier League Live and Goal Zone pregame and postgame shows. The current Premier League season marks her 13th year in that role.
Earlier this month, Lowe’s expanding profile across major sports properties was underscored when FOX Sports announced she will join its broadcast team as a host for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which begins in June.
