With over 4,500 hours of live event coverage during the Olympic Summer Games from Rio, keeping up with the Games while away from your TV is easier than ever.
The official website for the Olympics, NBCOlympics.com, will host live competition throughout the day and night. Here, you'll find live streaming coverage of all of the competitions. Rio de Janeiro is an hour ahead of Atlanta, so the primetime action will happen in real time. You'll have 30 minutes of viewing time before you'll be required to enter the username and password associated with your cable provider account.
Catch all of the 2016 Rio Olympics live on the NBC Sports app available for tablets, Android and Apple phones, Roku streaming devices, Amazon Fire TV and Fire sticks. Set notifications to alert you of Team USA's events, view replays and more in the app. Again, you'll have to log in with the username and password associated with your content provider.
Service members, retirees, family members and others authorized to shop in military exchanges will be able to watch NBC Olympics live streaming coverage of all competition for the 2016 Rio Games for free Aug. 3-21.
Active-duty members and other authorized shoppers can visit NBCOlympics.com or the NBC Sports app, and choose the Exchange as their service provider. (AAFES refers to itself as the “Exchange.”) Viewers must have an active “shopmyexchange.com” account to verify eligibility to watch the streaming, because of content rights restrictions. Those restrictions also will apply to some overseas locations. Outside of the AAFES option, prices would vary depending on the telecommunications provider. Additional information is available at shopmyexchange.com.
If you don't have a cable or satellite provider, you can try other services such as Sling TV or PlayStation Vue (fees apply).
