Olympics live streams 2022
The Olympics is a huge broadcasting event, and it is far too big for a single station to carry it alone.
As such, NBC and its affiliates will have coverage of the events and are planning to broadcast thousands of hours worth of action in the United States. NBC will showcase a lot of the big prime-time events — both live and on tape delay due to the 13-hour time difference in China — while other channels including USA, CNBC and Olympic Channel will assist it.
Additionally, NBC’s streaming service, Peacock, will provide coverage of select live events.
The service, which is free with ads, will also provide more Olympics content including curated playlists, highlights and full event replays from the 2021 Tokyo Games.
A Peacock Premium subscription (no ads) costs $4.99/month.
Viewers in Canada can live stream CBC's Olympics coverage with a subscription to fuboTV.
