NBC Olympics will bring back its celebrated Gold Zone team for the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympic Winter Games, with live coverage streaming on Peacock and airing on NBCSN, the network announced. The Winter Games officially open with the Opening Ceremony on February 6, 2026, on NBC and Peacock.
The returning roster includes Jac Collinsworth and Matt Iseman as hosts, alongside Scott Hanson and Andrew Siciliano, who together anchored NBC’s Gold Zone coverage during the 2024 Paris Olympics. The team, widely praised for its energetic whip-around coverage, will guide viewers through the most compelling moments from Italy’s mountains, slopes, rinks, and podiums.
New to the lineup, 2014 Olympic bronze medalist and three-time U.S. Figure Skating champion Ashley Wagner will serve as Gold Zone’s first-ever analyst, offering expertise and insight into the figure skating competition. Wagner previously contributed commentary for Peacock’s coverage of the 2022 Beijing Olympics.
“We can’t wait to bring this group back together to capture the excitement – whip-around style – from the 116 medal events on the ice and snow,” said Amy Rosenfeld, senior vice president of NBC Olympics Production. “A Winter Games brings with it new challenges, but that presents opportunities to try some new things while still embracing what viewers enjoyed.”
During the 2026 Games, Gold Zone will stream live daily on Peacock and NBCSN, presenting the top live action, medal moments, and pageantry of the Olympics.
This marks the first time a Winter Games Gold Zone will stream on Peacock, expanding the reach of the Emmy-winning format that debuted in Paris and covered up to 40 simultaneous events.
Scott Hanson, best known as host of NFL RedZone since 2009, returns for his second Olympic Gold Zone assignment. Andrew Siciliano, a four-time Olympic host, brings experience from previous Gold Zone coverage and serves as play-by-play radio voice of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns.
Matt Iseman, co-host of American Ninja Warrior, returns for his fourth Olympics assignment, while Jac Collinsworth continues his dual role as NBC’s Football Night in America on-location co-host and play-by-play announcer for college sports.
Gold Zone coverage will also be available on NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Sports app via TV Everywhere for pay-TV subscribers. Peacock will serve as the streaming hub for all 116 medal events, offering full-event replays, curated clips, and the platform’s popular Multiview feature, which enhances the live viewing experience by allowing fans to watch multiple events simultaneously.
