Full men’s, women’s 2026 Olympic hockey tournament schedules
The 2026 Olympic Winter Games in Milano-Cortina, Italy, are on the horizon.
For the men, it’s the first time we’ll see active NHLers take part since the 2014 Games in Russia. The NHL will be on hiatus throughout the tournament, allowing full focus to be on the world’s biggest stars.
The women will kick off the hockey portion of the tournament, with Canada and the United States heading in as favorites. But as the overall competition continues to improve, don’t expect them to simply roll over the competition – this should be the most competitive Olympic women’s hockey tournament to date.
Here’s the full schedule for both tournaments:
