A year delayed, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics begin July 23 and run through August 8. If you don’t pay for a cable, here are some alternative ways to catch the event.<\/b>
\nPostponed by a year, the 2020 Tokyo Games are finally happening. Taking place from July 23 through August 8, this year\u2019s event will be unlike any other. Due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns, there\u2019ll be no official attendance allowed, but a normal lineup of competitive sports is on the docket, featuring everything from swimming to gymnastics. For those of us viewing from home, there are several ways to take in this year\u2019s games, even if you\u2019re not a paying cable subscriber. In fact, if you\u2019re a proud cord-cutter (we support you!) there are more ways to watch this cherished international event than ever before. We\u2019ve broken down several of the major outlets below. As in years past, coverage of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games is exclusive to NBC and the various sports networks owned and operated by the NBC empire. These stations will all feature the most in-depth coverage of this year\u2019s games, but many do require a cable subscription. In addition to these major networks, you can view various live streams and event recaps of the games on both NBCOlympics.com and through the NBC Sports app. Do note that you will need a cable login to access coverage through NBC\u2019s website and app. Here\u2019s how our dedicated cord-cutters can view coverage of the Tokyo Games. As previously mentioned, you can pick up live coverage of the Tokyo Games through NBC and its affiliate stations using an over-the-air antenna. While overall reception will be dictated by the quality of the antenna you purchase, we have a few solid recommendations to get you started.
