Luge live streams at the 2026 Winter Olympics will see Germany attempt to dominate the medal table once again and win five golds out of five as competitors go head-to-head at the brand new Cortina Sliding Centre.
After six-time gold medalist Natalie Geisenberger finally retires, the female lugers will fancy their chances to fill her shoes. Compatriot Julia Taubitz will go in as favorite after her second World Championship singles title in Whistler last year, although Emily Fischnaller will be hoping to make history as the USA’s first ever Olympic lodge champion. And there is a similar scenario in the men’s event as the reigning champion (Johannes Ludwig) also retired, giving the likes of Felix Loch, 2018 gold medalist Nico Gleirscher and current world champion Max Langenhan the chance for glory.
Here’s where you can stream luge live and watch the 2026 Winter Olympics online anywhere and potentially FREE.
