68th annual Grammy Awards (CBS) – Sunday, February 1 @ 7 p.m. (CST)
February on television begins the month in style with the biggest night in music, as the 68th annual Grammy Awards will hand out the industry’s most esteemed honors on CBS, beginning at 7 p.m. (CST). Kendrick Lamar leads all nominees with nine nominations and is nominated for Album of the Year alongside Bad Bunny, Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, Clipse, Lady Gaga, Leon Thomas, and Tyler, the Creator. The ceremony, broadcast live from Los Angeles, will be hosted by comedian Trevor Noah.

Winter Olympics (NBC, Peacock, USA Network & CNBC) – Friday, February 6 through Sunday, February 22
You’ll be able to enjoy all of your favorite winter sports like figure skating, skiing, hockey and curling throughout the majority of February, as NBC hosts coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics from Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy. The opening ceremony will be broadcast live in America on NBC at 1 p.m. (CST) on Friday, February 6 and rebroadcast in primetime that evening. The events will be spread across the NBC networks and Peacock, with the highlight events airing on NBC in primetime, delayed. The Games will see 116 medal events in 16 sporting disciplines, including the Winter Olympic debut of ski mountaineering. Among the American stars competing in the Games are alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin, bobsledder Kaillie Humphries, cross-country skier Jessie Diggins, figure skater Ilia Malinin, hockey stars Connor Hellebuyck and Auston Matthews, snowboarder Chloe Kim and the return of alpine skier Lindsey Vonn.

Super Bowl LX (NBC & Peacock) – Sunday, February 8 @ 5:30 p.m. (CST)
Television’s most-watched event of the year, Super Bowl LX, will feature the AFC champion New England Patriots versus the NFC champion Seattle Seahawks, as the Patriots try to win their record-breaking seventh Super Bowl title, while the Seahawks look for their second in franchise history. These two teams matched up in Super Bowl XLIX in a thrilling matchup in which the Patriots won on a game-saving interception by Malcolm Butler. Worldwide music sensation Bad Bunny will perform the halftime show and millions of viewers will tune in to see which superstars headline the year’s most famous night of TV commercials.

Daytona 500 (Fox) – Sunday, February 15 @ 1:30 p.m. (CST)
The 2026 NASCAR Cup Series season hits the gas with its premiere event, the 68th running of the Daytona 500, which will see Hendrick Motorsports competitor William Byron attempting to become the first driver in NASCAR history to win the event in three consecutive years. Among the sport's biggest names looking for their first-ever Daytona 500 win are Kyle Busch, Chase Elliott, Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney. 

Dark Winds: Season 4 (AMC) – Sunday, February 15
“Dark Winds,” which still remains television’s best-kept secret, returns for its fourth season on AMC on Sunday, February 15. The series, which follows Navajo tribal police chief Joe Leephorn, will undergo a major change in its fourth season, with Leaphorn (the incredible Zahn McClarnon) and his deputy, Jim Chee (Kiowa Gordon), traveling beyond their reservation to Los Angeles to search for a missing Navajo girl linked to organized crime. Season four will consist of eight episodes, and hopefully, this will finally be the year the Emmy Awards recognize McClarnon for his excellent performance.

Paradise: Season 2 (Hulu) – Monday, February 23
“Paradise” was one of television’s most pleasant surprises of 2025, and the Hulu apocalyptic drama returns for its second season on Monday, February 23. The end of season one saw Emmy nominee Sterling K. Brown’s secret service agent Xavier Collins leaving the bunker in search of survivors of a nuclear holocaust, which was thought to have destroyed everything. Season one of the series received Emmy nominations for Outstanding Drama Series, Brown for Outstanding Lead Actor, Julianne Nicholson for Outstanding Supporting Actress and James Marsden for Outstanding Supporting Actor.

The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins (NBC) – Monday, February 23
The combination of Tracy Morgan, Tina Fey and Robert Carlock has given us comedy gold before on NBC’s legendary sitcom “30 Rock.” I’m hoping the trio can spark gold again in “The Rise and Fall of Reggie Dinkins,” a sports comedy created by Carlock and Sam Means, produced by Fey, Carlock, Means and others, and starring Morgan as the titular Reggie Dinkins, a disgraced former NFL player who’s looking to rehabilitate his public image. The series co-stars Daniel Radcliffe, Erika Alexander and Bobby Moynihan. The show received a special preview following an NFL playoff game in January and became NBC’s most-watched new comedy premiere in three years. Hopefully, that special viewing will lead more people to its premiere a month later.

Scrubs (ABC) – Wednesday, February 25
“Scrubs” was one of television's best sitcoms during the early 2000s, with its original run on NBC from 2001 to 2008, and it finished with a disappointing final season on ABC. The revival of the show, premiering on ABC on Wednesday, February 25, will hopefully be more like the show’s original run than its ending. Series creator Bill Lawrence is riding a hot streak over the last half-decade with his Apple TV comedies “Ted Lasso” and “Shrinking,” which followed the “Scrubs” method of including a ton of heart alongside its hilarity. The revival will feature the show’s original main trio of J.D. (Zach Braff), Turk (Donald Faison) and Elliot (Sarah Chalke), with Judy Reyes’ Nurse Carla (Turk’s wife) and John C. McGinley’s Dr. Perry Cox in guest roles. Unfortunately, the show doesn’t seem to include Neil Flynn’s Janitor, which was one of the highlights of the original series.
