With only 100 days until the XXV Olympic Winter Games commence on February 6, 2026, it is time to start looking at the highlights of the Olympic calendar.

There will be a total of 116 medal events at the Milano-Cortina Winter Games.

We have highlighted some of the favorite events for the two weeks, with a focus on Alpine and Freestyle skiing events. We will highlight Snowboard and Nordic events in a separate post to keep it visually digestible for readers—a LOT is going on!

Please note that times are listed in local time (Central European Time). CET is 6 hours ahead of American Eastern Time, 8 hours ahead of Mountain Time, and 9 hours ahead of Pacific Time. (For our readers down under: this means 10 hours behind Australian Eastern Daylight Time, and 12 hours behind New Zealand Daylight Time).
