How To Watch Team USA In Friday’s Men’s Olympic Hockey Finals

The stage is set for another high-stakes moment at the 2026 Winter Olympics, and fans across the country are preparing to tune in as the United States men’s national ice hockey team takes the ice.

Here is everything you need to know to watch tomorrow’s game live:

Game Time

Team USA is scheduled to play tomorrow afternoon, with puck drop set for 3:10 p.m. Eastern Time. That translates to 12:10 p.m. Pacific for viewers on the West Coast.

As always during Olympic competition overseas, start times reflect local European scheduling, meaning U.S. fans will be watching in the early afternoon rather than prime time.

Tournament Stage

This matchup comes in the semifinal round of the men’s Olympic hockey tournament. The United States advanced after a hard-fought quarterfinal victory, keeping its medal hopes alive and setting up a win-or-go-home showdown with a spot in the gold medal game on the line.

A victory would guarantee Team USA a medal and send the Americans into the championship game. A loss would shift the focus to the bronze medal contest. With the stakes this high, every possession and special teams opportunity will be magnified.

How to Watch on TV

The game will air live on NBC, which is serving as the primary U.S. broadcast partner for the Winter Games. Select Olympic hockey coverage has also appeared on USA Network, so viewers should double-check their local listings to confirm the exact channel assignment.

For traditional cable and satellite subscribers, simply tune into NBC at the scheduled start time.

How to Stream Online

Cord-cutters and mobile viewers have multiple streaming options.

The game will stream live on Peacock, NBC’s official streaming platform for Olympic coverage. Peacock typically offers full live broadcasts, replays, and additional Olympic content.

Fans can also stream the game through NBC’s digital platforms by logging in with their cable provider credentials via NBCOlympics.com or the NBC Sports app.

Most major streaming devices, including smart TVs, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and mobile devices, support Peacock and NBC’s apps.

What’s at Stake

Olympic hockey always carries added intensity. With national pride on the line and a medal within reach, every shift matters. Team USA has shown speed, physicality, and disciplined defensive play throughout the tournament, building momentum at the right time.

Now, with a berth in the gold medal game at stake, the margin for error disappears. Veterans are expected to steady the bench, while younger skaters have embraced the spotlight, giving the roster a balanced edge as the pressure builds.

The Americans are chasing another historic Olympic run, hoping to add to the program’s storied legacy on the international stage.

If you are planning to stream the game, log in early and confirm your subscription credentials before puck drop. Olympic matchups tend to draw heavy traffic, and last-minute scrambling can lead to missed opening minutes.
