Sports fans wanting to watch an Olympics live stream in 2021 should be able
to access their usual free or paid coverage from all over the world.

device that it's in a different country. This means you can tune in to your usual coverage from home, wherever you are, without having to resort to an illegal stream.

In the US, NBC has the broadcasting rights for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, so cable users with NBC will have access to all the events. Theyll also have the option to watch it online on NBCs streaming platform.

If you dont have cable, youll have to subscribe to OTT services that have the NBC channel to stream the games. Peacock TV and fuboTV are two of the best available options.

fuboTV costs $64.99/month, but it comes with a 1-week free trial and is a complete cable replacement service with a comprehensive offering of NBC channels. As such, it's our recommendation for most sports fans in this instance.

At $4.99/month, Peacock TV is the most affordable option and provides a free trial of its own - though note that much of its programming schedule is given over to multi-sports coverage. This is great for general fans, but maybe a
bit frustrating if you want end-to-end action of a specific discipline.

These streaming platforms can be accessed through Android, iOS, LG TV, Google Chrome Browser, Xbox, and several other devices. For more on which NBC
