2026 Winter Olympics live updates: Opening ceremony preparation underway for Milan Games


 Tonight, Milan's historic San Siro Stadium will transform into the main venue for the opening ceremony. Athlete processions will also be taking place at competition venues in Predazzo, Livigno and Cortina d’Ampezzo.

Double the fun: For the first time in history, two cauldrons will be lit and extinguished at the same time. They will be located in two different cities: Arco della Pace in Milan and in Piazza Dibona in Cortina d’Ampezzo.

Lots of star power: The queen of Christmas, Mariah Carey, is expected to perform. Opera legend Andrea Bocelli, Italian actor Pierfrancesco Favino, Italian singer Laura Pausini and “The White Lotus” star Sabrina Impacciatore will also take the stage.
