Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme… it's finally bobsleigh time at the 2026 Winter Olympics. With the luge sessions all done and dusted at the Cortina Sliding Centre, the bobsleigh — or, if you prefer, bobsled — can now commence. In this guide, we explain how to watch Olympic bobsled from anywhere you are in the world.
It's hard to pinpoint why Germany is so good at the sliding events, but (just like the luge and skeleton), the country is the dominant force in recent bobsleigh history at the Winter Olympics. It has picked up six of the eight available golds at the last two games and, between Johannes Lochner and Laura Nolte, will be hoping for more podium placements in this year's four disciplines.
Lochner had to settle for two silvers in Beijing last time around, finishing behind — you guessed it — other sledders from Germany. It's hard to see a world where that's repeated this time around. But the women's competition feels much more wide open to possible winners from around the planet. The likes of Bree Walker of Australia, Katrin Beierl of Austria, and Melissa Lotholz and Cynthia Appiah, both of Canada, have all shown terrific form in World Cup events this season. And 40-year-old Kaillie Humphries will be desperate to add to her three previous golds. She made history four years ago by becoming the first woman in Olympic history to win gold medals for two different countries, the US and Canada.
Thanks to being popularized by the movie Cool Runnings, bobsleigh doesn't need much more of an introduction. But if you're still working out your options for how to stream this year's action, follow our guide below to watch Olympic bobsled. You'll also find information on where to find free streams and what to do if you're overseas when it's on.
