We're definitely in Milan. I mean, we've got fashion! Sports cars! Risotto! And, of course, some Olympians.
The 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic Games have officially begun with the Feb. 6 Opening Ceremony straight from the heart of Italy.
The extravagant ceremony, a traditional performance/show put on by the host country of every Olympic Games, is taking place at Milan's San Siro Stadium this year, and is set to feature a bevy of celebrity performers, including Mariah Carey and Andrea Bocelli. It will also feature the requisite parade of nations and athletes, proudly bearing flags and coordinated uniforms for their countries.
If you are missing the ceremony live during the work day, NBC will be re-airing it in primetime at 8 ET/PT.
USA TODAY will be watching the ceremony live and updating this review as the spectacle unfolds.
