After a delay due to COVID-19, the Summer Olympics in Tokyo have begun. Here’s how to watch the Tokyo Olympics, both live and delayed on NBC-related channels, apps or streaming. 

The time difference makes live viewing a bit of a commitment. Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of the Eastern Time in the U.S. and 16 hours ahead of Pacific Time. But with a little planning and sleep deprivation, you can catch the events live.

Where to Watch the Summer Olympics

NBC has the television rights to the Summer Olympics and will be showing the Games on NBC, NBCSN, USA, CNBC, the Olympic Channel, the Golf Channel, Telemundo and NBC Universo.
