The Olympics have come this year with some seriously shocking moments, from the disqualification of a number of skiers during the Women’s Ski Jumping event to Mikaela Shiffrin’s slalom ski-out. With more downhill skiing on the way, you can still some of the fast-paced events, including bobsledding and more of the luge events.
For streamers, finding the right coverage for the Olympics can be as challenging as the those slalom slopes. However, you can still find ways to catch your favorite events–with Peacock TV, which offers 24/7 coverage for the Olympics both on-demand and live. If you prefer to watch it live, no worries. We have you covered with the Peacock streaming schedule below.
Peacock Olympic Schedule: Friday, February 11, 2022
Anyone who has ever watched the Olympics, either Winter OR Summer, knows that there are always multiple events happening at any given time.

Fortunately, the Peacock user interface makes things (relatively) simple for you to stream. First off, head over to the Peacock Olympics Hub, which gives you the option to browse by sport, tune into live coverage, and even read up on the stories of day. From there, check out Peacock’s “Watch By Day” hub, which has a complete schedule of every event that the service will be livestreaming.

Where Can I Watch the Olympics?
If you don’t have access to the USA Network or NBC via your cable channel, you have some options here. Hulu + Live TV offers coverage for these events with a subscription that starts at $69.99/month. You can also pick up a fuboTV subscription which starts at $64.99/month and will offer live streaming coverage as well as DVR cloud storage so you can tape it and watch it at your leisure. NBC Olympics also offers coverage but will incentivize you to head over to Peacock TV for 24/7 coverage.

How To Watch The Olympics For Free
If you want the gist of the coverage, you can check out the highlights clips at NBC Olympics and enjoy the major coverage. You can catch clips like figure skating performances, but you won’t be able to watch the performances back-to-back. As a heads up, you’ll also only get 30 minutes of complimentary streaming before the site redirects you to sign up for Peacock TV.
And speaking of Peacock TV, you can get some coverage of events. If you’re looking for the best performances with commentary and discussions in between, Peacock is your best bet. They offer free streaming for solely the highlights and bring in discussion and commentary for ease of understanding and some insight into the athletes.
If you also haven’t signed up for fuboTV yet, they’re currently offering a 7-day free trial for new subscribers so you can snap up a week’s worth of live coverage.
How To Sign Up For Peacock TV: Free Option vs. Peacock Premium
Head over to Peacock TV to sign up for the streaming service. While the free account will provide a library of content, if you enjoy watching the Olympics and want 24/7 coverage, you can opt for the basic $4.99/month plan that comes with ads. If you prefer to be ad-free, you can opt for the $9.99/month plan.
