New York viewers have a front row seat to the Milan Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony thanks to a full lineup on NBC, Peacock, and NBC’s digital platforms. The final event takes place at Verona Arena on Sunday, February 22, and it closes the Games with music, lights, and a farewell to the athletes.
NBC airs the closing ceremony live at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time, which matches the local time in New York. The network then presents a primetime edition from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern, giving viewers a polished, story-driven version of the show. Both programs air on the main NBC station in New York, the same as other Olympic coverage.
Peacock Has All The Action
Peacock serves as the full streaming home of the 2026 Winter Olympics, and it will stream the closing ceremony live and on demand. New Yorkers can watch on smart TVs, phones, tablets, or streaming devices, and they can switch between the ceremony and other Olympic replays using Peacock’s sports hub. Peacock also offers features like multiview and highlight reels that let fans catch key moments if they cannot sit through the entire show.
NBCOlympics.com and NBC.com list the ceremony on the main schedule page and provide direct links to the live stream. Viewers who have a pay TV subscription can sign in on NBCOlympics.com or the NBC Sports app to see the broadcast feed, plus extra clips, interviews, and analysis. These options matter in New York, where many people watch on laptops or mobile devices while on the go.
Italy Say Goodbye
The closing ceremony in Verona features a creative production that highlights Italy’s culture and history while honoring athletes from around the world. The show runs about two and a half hours and includes the parade of athletes, the extinguishing of the Olympic cauldron, and the formal handoff to the next Winter Games.​
New York fans should check local listings for their NBC channel number and confirm their Peacock subscription before February 22. With live NBC coverage at 2:30 p.m., a 9 p.m. primetime show, and full streaming on Peacock and NBC digital platforms, viewers in the state will have many ways to enjoy the final night of Milan Cortina 202
