It will also house an extensive virtual studio enabling analysis of different sports and will welcome athletes and guests throughout the games to deliver its coverage.
WBD’s games coverage will be available to HBO Max customers in Europe as well as Discovery+ in various territories.
HBO Max coverage includes Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Italy, where viewers will be able to watch live Olympics content on the platform for the first time following its launch in January 2026.
Subscribers to HBO Max and Discovery+ will be able to watch every competition, involving all 2,900 athletes competing in 116 medal events, broadcast live from the Olympic Winter Games over 19 days.
