How to stream Olympic basketball games

Most of the Olympic basketball games will only be available via a streaming platform. The majority of games will be available on NBCOlympics.com or the NBC Sports app, both of which require authentication from a cable, streaming or satellite provider. Some games, including all three U.S. men’s group stage games, will be available live on Peacock Premium — a direct-to-subscriber service that costs $6 per month.
