Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic curling schedules confirmed

The official schedules for the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 have now been confirmed. All eyes will be on curling from two days prior to the opening ceremony, as the only sport being played for every day of the Games.

Non-stop curling

From 4-22 February, the Olympic Winter Games will take place at multiple prestigious locations across Italy, with the Paralympic Winter Games to follow between 4-15 March.

All curling will be held at the Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium, Cortina d’Ampezzo. This historic venue was built to host the 1956 Olympic Winter Games, the first winter Games to be broadcasted live on television. The stadium sits in front of the picturesque Ampezzo Dolomites and is part of the Cortina cluster that is also the location for Alpine Skiing and Para Alpine Skiing, Bobsleigh, Luge, Skeleton and Para Snowboard. The Cortina Curling Olympic Stadium will also be the venue for the Paralympic Closing Ceremony.

There are curling medals up for grabs across three Olympic events and two Paralympic events: Mixed Doubles, Men team, Women team, Wheelchair Mixed team and Wheelchair Mixed Doubles.
