Barely a month ago, it became official that TV4 had secured the free-to-air rights to the four upcoming Olympic Games, together with SVT.
It is now clear which competitions TV4 and TV4 Play will broadcast from the Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina 2026.
The 2026 Winter Olympics are shared between TV4 and SVT. Now the distribution is nailed down, where TV4 and TV4 Play broadcast, among other things, biathlon, with several major medal candidates, and women’s curling, which took bronze in the last Olympics. Even in sports such as freestyle, snowboarding and ski alpinism, Swedes are at the top of the world and have strong medal chances.
Sharing the hockey
In addition, the ice hockey, with long-awaited world stars from the NHL on the ice, is divided between TV4 and SVT, where the exact distribution will only be determined when the game schedule is drawn in the fall of 2025.
– We are very much looking forward to showing the Olympic Games on TV4 Play and on TV4 for the first time. The Olympics have given the public consciousness so many classic moments and we look forward to delivering new classics, starting in Milano Cortina, says Johan Cederqvist, sports director at TV4.
