PHILADELPHIA, PA — Comcast, a longtime partner of Team USA, has unveiled its roster of elite U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes who will represent Xfinity on the road to the 2026 Winter Games in Milano Cortina. The lineup features 11 accomplished competitors across bobsled, ice hockey, sled hockey, figure skating, speed skating, skiing, para snowboarding, and snowboarding.
As part of its ongoing support for Team USA, Xfinity will again provide each qualifying Olympic and Paralympic athlete with $2,026 to help them stay connected to family, friends, and fans during the Games—a continuation of a program first launched during Paris 2024.
“For more than eight years, Comcast and Xfinity have partnered with Olympic and Paralympic champions and hopefuls to help them stay connected to what matters most,” said Matt Lederer, Vice President of Brand Partnerships at Comcast. “These world-class athletes embody the perseverance, excellence, and inspiration that define the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Our commitment goes beyond sponsorship—it’s about connection.”
The 2026 Xfinity athlete roster includes some of the most recognized names in winter sports, such as alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin, the winningest skier in World Cup history; speed skater Erin Jackson, the first Black woman to win an individual Winter Olympic gold medal; and figure skating phenom Ilia Malinin, known as the “Quad God” for his historic quadruple axel. Paralympic champions Brenna Huckaby, Brody Roybal, Jen Lee, and Noah Elliott also join the roster, representing Team USA’s elite sled hockey and para snowboarding programs.
In addition to sponsoring athletes, Comcast will serve as the official communications provider for Team USA during the Beijing 2022, Paris 2024, Milano Cortina 2026, and Los Angeles 2028 Games. Through its Xfinity platform, the company will deliver more than 2,500 hours of Olympic and Paralympic coverage across NBC, Peacock, USA Network, and CNBC, along with an interactive Winter Olympics Hub to help viewers follow their favorite athletes and events.
NBCUniversal, a division of Comcast, holds exclusive U.S. media rights to the Olympic Games through 2036, including upcoming events in Los Angeles (2028), the French Alps (2030), and Brisbane (2032). Coverage of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Games will run February 6–22, followed by the Paralympic Games from March 6–15, 2026.
