Let the Games begin! Whether you’re a die-hard sports enthusiast or just tuning in to watch all the real-life Olympic couples who are competing athletes a la Heated Rivalry, the Olympics are a must-see event. The 2026 Winter Olympics are in Milan this year, and are scheduled to take place from Feb. 6 through the 22. The events feature classic winter sports like curling, alpine skiing, ice hockey (cue “All the Things She Said”), figure skating, and more — and there are a lot of them.
Because the Olympic events are scheduled pretty much all day every day (I’m talking 4 a.m. start times, thanks to the time difference), it’s easy to miss some Olympics viral moments, victorious wins, behind-the-scenes footage, and more. NBCUniversal has crafted an Olympic team to help with exactly that, so you never feel like you’re behind. The network created a Creator Collective for the 2026 Winter Olympics — similar to the Paris Creator Collective from the Summer 2024 Olympics (even featuring some fan favorites from those Games two years ago). This year’s team includes more than 25 creators from different social media platforms including YouTube, Instagram, Meta, and TikTok. They’re set to travel to Italy to cover the games, chat with the athletes, and more. Here are 15 influencers to follow for your fill of content from the 2026 Olympics.
