NBC Olympics has announced its team of veteran hosts for the upcoming XXV Olympic Winter Games in Italy, revealing the personalities who will guide viewers through the action on USA Network and CNBC. The experienced lineup includes Trenni Casey, Lindsay Czarniak, Carolyn Manno, George Savaricas, and Andrew Siciliano.
The Opening Ceremony for the Milan Cortina Winter Games is set for February 6, 2026, airing on NBC and Peacock. Daily cable coverage will begin a day earlier on February 5, with USA Network and CNBC broadcasting events such as women’s hockey, mixed doubles curling, and snowboard big air. USA Network will feature extensive daily coverage, while CNBC will air Olympic programming on weekdays after the conclusion of its business day coverage, as well as on weekends.
“We are excited to have veterans of multiple Olympics returning to serve as hosts,” said Rebecca Chatman, Vice President and Coordinating Producer for NBC Olympics Production. “They will present the most compelling stories, news, and interviews as we take viewers from event to event throughout the Games.”
The host team brings a wealth of experience to the broadcast. This will be the eighth Olympic assignment for Carolyn Manno (USA Network), her sixth as a host. Both Trenni Casey (CNBC) and Lindsay Czarniak (USA Network) will be working their sixth Olympics for NBC. Andrew Siciliano (USA Network) returns for his fourth Olympic assignment and will also reprise his role as a host of the popular Gold Zone whip-around show, which highlights key moments as they happen. George Savaricas (USA Network) will be covering his third Olympics.
This team complements the previously announced primetime hosts, Mike Tirico and Maria Taylor, who will lead the live coverage on NBC and Peacock.
The 2026 Winter Olympics, taking place from February 6-22, will be held across a wide region of northern Italy, from Milan to Cortina d’Ampezzo. This marks the fourth time Italy has hosted the Olympic Games and the first time the Winter Games have been held in the Central European Time Zone since the 2006 Turin Olympics.
Beginning in January 2026, USA Network and CNBC will be owned and operated by Versant, a new company spun off from Comcast NBCUniversal. NBC Olympics coverage will appear on the networks through a new agreement between the two entities. NBCUniversal currently holds the U.S. media rights for the Olympic Games through 2036.
