The Tokyo Olympics begin July 24 with the men’s road race kicking off the cycling events. As Japan is well ahead of the U.S. in timezones, many of the events will be shown live on the previous night in the United States. For instance, the men’s road race will be live at 9 p.m. PST on July 23.
NBC owns the Olympic coverage rights in the U.S., and the Games will be shown across local NBC stations, USA, NBCSN, CNBC, the Olympic Channel, and Telemundo. However, not all channels will cover all sports.
For cycling, the events will be broadcast on the USA Network, NBCSN, and CNBC.
Highlights will also be shown across multiple NBC channels and NBC’s internet site Peacock (which has replaced NBC Sports Gold Cycling). Peacock’s schedule does not include any full-length coverage of any cycling events.
