How do I watch everything else?
The Games will be broadcast on NBC and their networks -- USA, CNBC, and NBCOlympics. They have put together a calendar to help you keep up with all the events you may be interested in watching. The events listed will be tape-delayed, so stay away from news channels and social media if you don't want to know in advance who won. NBC will also host a livestream coverage of the events on their website and on the NBC Sports app.
The NBC apps require you to use your cable login. If you do not have cable or satellite service, you can use streaming services such as Hulu with Live TV, PlayStation Vue or SlingTV's Blue package.
