Watch Winter Olympics 2026 Skeleton from anywhere
Away from home at the moment and blocked from watching the action on your usual subscription?
You can still watch Winter Olympics 2026 skeleton live thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software can make your devices appear to be back in your home country regardless of where you are, making it ideal for viewers away on vacation or on business. Norton VPN is one of the best you can buy — we explain why we like it in our Norton VPN review.
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, Norton VPN is one of our favorites.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view a Canadian service, you'd select Canada from the server list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to CBC Gem or another streaming service and watch the Winter Olympics 2026.
