Dame Sarah Storey – ParalympicsGB’s most decorated athlete – and multi-gold-medal Paralympic swimming champion Alice Tai will be part of Channel 4’s reporter line-up during the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games.
The broadcaster will show more than 60 hours of live sport, with viewers able to follow the action on Channel 4 or stream it via the broadcaster’s app and on its sport YouTube channel.
The on-screen team will be led by Ade Adepitan, Billy Monger and Ed Jackson with former ParalympicsGB sit-skier Sean Rose returning as a pundit, along with ex-ParalympicsGB alpine skier and medallist Jade Etherington as commentator.
Coverage will start at breakfast time and will follow the live action throughout the day, with a daily highlights programme each evening at 6:30pm.
All content will be subtitled and live broadcast coverage will have live audio description available from 10:30am each day, while the highlights show will feature live British Sign Language translation.
Additionally, the Opening and Closing Ceremonies will be simulcast on 4seven and the Channel 4 app with BSL and an open descriptive commentary.
The 10-day Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games begin on Friday 6th March and conclude on Sunday 15th March.
Ian Katz, Chief Content Officer at Channel 4, said: “We are incredibly proud to have such a fantastic on-screen team once again for the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games, whilst showcasing ParalympicsGB and the extraordinary British athletes competing on the world stage.
