Every Olympic event will be streamed on the site, and you can also use the NBC Sports app to connect the stream to Apple TV, Roku, Android TV, Xbox.
NBC Sports Network will cover more than 20 sports, more than any other network, from August 6th to August 21st.
NBC will broadcast the opening ceremony on a one-hour tape delay because it wants the entertainment spectacle to be shown completely in USA prime time. NBC will also broadcast 100 hours of events in virtual reality, but only for those with Samsung Galaxy phones compatible with Gear VR. The most useful for English-speaking Americans are Canada’s CBC and the UK’s BBC. NBC Universal will be broadcasting most of the games live thanks to the one-hour time difference between Rio and the Eastern Time Zone.

Cord-cutters, this section is for you.
A cheaper way to watch the Olympics without subscribing to conventional TV services is to use either the Sling TV or Playstation Vue Internet TV networks.
Well, if you have a TV, but no cable box, you could plug in an antenna to your television and watch the coverage on NBC or Telemundo for free.
Pros: NBC will be streaming 4,500 hours of programming, including matches and games not aired on TV. Sling TV has more than 40 channels in its Sling Blue $25 monthly plan, including live NBC broadcasts in 10 markets (Chicago, Dallas, Fort Worth, Hartford, Conn., Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, San Diego and Washington) and NBCSN, Bravo and USA.
But I – like a growing number of Americans – am forgoing expensive cable subscriptions to be a cordcutter, opting for a wide variety of online streaming options from Netflix, Hulu and YouTube to “skinny bundles” of channels like Sling TV or PlayStation Vue.
