Watching the Olympics can be an exciting experience. I remember it as a time to gather with my family and share the excitement of the competition while we watched athletes from all over the world show us what they’re made of.

However, finding a good live channel to watch the games was always a bit tricky. That’s still the same today, thanks to the many different TV channels and online streaming services on the market.

That’s why I’ve put together a list to help you find the best places to watch all the action live, no matter where you are in the world. I’ve looked at which broadcasters will be showing the Olympics in North America, Europe, Asia, and many other places, so you can enjoy your favorite events without missing a thing.
