Streaming This schedule will help you catch your must-watch sport and see some you’ve never even heard of. The COVID-19 pandemic may have wreaked havoc on the world in 2020, but there’s at least one major sign that things are slowly getting back to normal: The Olympics are a-go… just a year later than planned. The long-delayed Summer Olympics will finally take place in Tokyo, Japan, from July 23 to Aug.8,2021. Over the course of these two weeks, fans can watch the 2021 Olympics and their favorite athletes from around the world as they compete for the gold, whether it be in gymnastics, diving, soccer, tennis, or yes, even something called handball. If you’re one of those people who must see gymnastics stalwart Simone Biles vie for her fifth gold medal, Team USA’s only karate kata competitor Sakura Kokumai make her Olympic debut, or Laurel Hubbard make history as the first trans person to compete in any Olympics, you’ll be able to catch all of the Tokyo Olympics action on TV or online. Your local NBC station will air major Olympic events during its nightly primetime coverage, and all the games will be streaming online on NBC Sports and the NBC Olympics website.
