Luge live streams at the 2026 Winter Olympics will see Germany attempt to dominate the medal table once again, shooting for five golds out of five when the competitors go head-to-head at the brand new Cortina Sliding Centre.

Ever since the luge was introduced to the winter games back in 1964, Germany have been the dominant force and have claimed a remarkable 16 out of the 21 available golds this century. And, with the action starting on Saturday, February 7 (full schedule below) just a day after the opening ceremony, this year sees a further event added to the schedule, with dedicated doubles events for men and women.

Following six-time gold medallist Natalie Geisenberger finally retiring, the female lugers will fancy their chances of filling her shoes. Compatriot Julia Taubitz will go in as favorite, following her second World Championship singles title in Whistler last year, though Emily Fischnaller will be hoping to make history as the United States' first ever Olympic luge champion. And there's a similar scenario in the men's event, as the reigning champ (Johannes Ludwig) also retired, giving the likes of Felix Loch, 2018 gold medal winner Nico Gleirscher and current world champ Max Langenhan the chance of glory.

Here's where to stream luge live and watch Winter Olympics 2026 online from anywhere and potentially for FREE.

Just bear in mind that the BBC's free-to-air coverage won't be all-encompassing and so may not cover every minute of the luge. TNT Sports is providing comprehensive coverage with streaming available Discovery+'s base plan which costs just £3.99/month.
