    Peacock’s ‘Gold Zone’ Will Return, Possibly Bigger, for 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles

    Plan to re-enter the Gold Zone when Peacock covers the next Summer Olympics, to be held in July 2028 in Los Angeles.

    Gold Zone was a fan-favorite feature throughout the assorted NBCUniversal properties’ coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics, guiding viewers, NFL Red Zone -style, through the best and most compelling Olympic moments of each day. Matt Iseman, Jac Collinsworth, Andrew Siciliano and Scott Hanson formed the daily hosting rotation, covering the hours of 7 am to 5 pm ET.

    With up to 40 events happening simultaneously during the Paris Olympics, Gold Zone’s all-encompassing, live, whip-around coverage (pleasantly) assaulted viewers with all of the can’t-miss action and moments. And that tech-driven, comprehensive coverage will be the “gold” standard moving forward.

    “We’ll definitely bring it back” for the 2028 Summer Olympics, Molly Solomon, the executive producer and president of NBC Olympics production, told The Athletic . “[H]ow could you not have a returning Gold Zone in Los Angeles? And it may even be more hours a day.”

    As for the more immediate Winter Olympics to be held in February 2026 in the Italian cities of Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Solomon said her team was “going to go wipe the whiteboard clean and start to think about how it works in a Winter Olympics, and what that best presentation could be.”

    Gold Zone was a hit not just with Olympics-heads watching at home these past few weeks, but with its hard-working hosts as well.

    “This is the third Olympics I’ve covered, but I’ve never experienced one like this,” Iseman, for one, said. “I felt like we had a front row seat to all the greatest moments in every last sport. I think the Gold Zone is the way the Olympics were always meant to be experienced, we just needed the technology to catch up!”
