How can one watch it all take place? Viewers in the United States will be able to watch live at 6 a.m. Eastern Time or 3 a.m. Pacific Time. However, U.S. viewers can see the ceremony “live” only through various streaming sources at that time. Otherwise, viewers need to wait until NBC’s official telecast at 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Friday night. The two best options to watch the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony live streaming online (6 a.m. ET/3 a.m. PT) are either the NBCOlympics.com website or the NBC Sports mobile apps. These apps are available for Android and iOS compatible devices.
Anyone with an over-the-air antenna signal, cable, satellite, or channel streaming service, can watch on the appropriate NBC source. For viewers who want to live stream that particular telecast for free, it’s best to look into signing up for a trial of Sling TV, PlayStation Vue, DirecTV Now, Hulu with Live TV, or YouTube TV. More information on each of these specific services are available at their respective websites.
