The Winter Olympics 2026 opening ceremony is set to feature a star-studded line-up of performers in Milan, Italy. The event will take place at the San Siro stadium, home of Inter and AC Milan, with festivities also extending to the co-host town of Cortina d'Ampezzo.
The ceremony's theme is 'harmony', and organisers have confirmed that global superstars will bring the show to life. Headlining the event will be Mariah Carey, who will make her first Olympic appearance. Reports suggest the 56-year-old singer may even perform in Italian.
Joining Carey is Andrea Bocelli, marking 20 years since he performed at the closing ceremony of the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics, the last Winter Games held in Europe. Snoop Dogg, who has been named an honorary coach for Team USA, has already been seen carrying the Olympic torch and is expected to feature further.
The opening ceremony will be broadcast live, with viewers able to watch via various platforms. For more details on timings and viewing options, consult your TV guide or streaming service.
