The 2026 Winter Olympics are winding down, which means it’s time for the Closing Ceremony. The theme for the ceremony, which will feature the lowering of the Olympic flag and the extinguishing of the Olympic flame, is “Beauty in Action.”<\/p>\n

“The athletes will be the real stars of the event,” Alfredo Accatino, the ceremony’s artistic director, explains. “It will begin with lots of colors and end with a party. Those who come to Verona will never forget it. It is a moment of veiled melancholy, because the big event is coming to an end, and with so many emotions.”<\/p>\n

The ceremony will kick off Sunday at 2:30 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock. An encore broadcast will air on NBC at 9 p.m. Here’s everything you need to know to watch the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics Closing Ceremony. (And as we close out the Games, here’s a look at the final medal count<\/a> too.)<\/p>\n
