Where Stream the 2021 Olympics
If you or your kids, or you with your kids, want to check out the games, NBC and its family of properties is the place to go. So, that’s NBC, CNBC, Olympic Channel, Telemundo, USA, the Golf Channel, plus its streaming platform, Peacock, and also the NBC Sports app and on NBCOlympics.com. Interestingly, the opening ceremonies will air live for the first time ever, and that begins at 4am EST on Friday, July 23.
What about the Olympic time difference?
Don’t want to get up that early? No need to fret. NBC will repeat the festivities on Friday night at 7:30 pm EST. As for the games themselves, a couple of them (such as soccer and softball) actually kicked off on Tuesday, July 20. And the competition will extend through Sunday, August 8, with NBC airing the Closing Ceremonies at 7:00 am EST. Your best bet for navigating all the fun and games — assuming COVID-19 doesn’t scuttle everything — is to check out NBC’s official Olympics site: nbcolympics.com/fullschedule. There, you can click through a handy-dandy grid of events and dates, and then dig deeper to Watch Live links that deliver times, platforms, etc. Reminder: Peacock is free.
