With under a week remaining in the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics, Team USA will continue to attempt to climb to the top of the medal count standings.

Despite impressive showings from Norway and Italy so far, the United States still has a pathway to the top of the leaderboard with plenty of intense events on Wednesday, February 18.

The action kicks off with a re-airing of the women’s figure skating short program, which took place on February 17 — featuring the “Blade Angels” — and continues with lots of opportunities for Team USA to collect medals in events like ski jumping, snowboard slopestyle, and cross-country skiing.

Here’s the complete 2026 Winter Olympics TV schedule for Wednesday, February 18, with events airing on NBC, USA Network, and CNBC.
