And so Peacock will offer only early-morning live coverage of gymnastics, track and field and Team USA men’s basketball. The gymnastics and track and field will be free, although ad-supported; the U.S. men’s basketball games will be available live only as part of the Peacock Premium service, which costs $4.99 per month. (Team USA’s group-stage games will air on a tape-delay basis on NBC’s other networks, and the gold medal game will air live on NBC at 10:30 p.m. Eastern on Aug. 6. Some of the earlier knockout-round games will also be on live television.)
On-demand replays of many events won’t be immediately available except for paying subscribers.
Offering a limited menu of the Olympics’ most popular sports is part of NBC’s plan to increase the subscriber and digital advertiser base for Peacock, which it rolled out last year. But to access the bulk of the network’s live Olympic coverage — including the gymnastics, track and field, and basketball competitions that don’t take place early in the morning on the U.S. East Coast — you’ll need either a digital antenna for your television or a cable subscription.
“I think what we have seen with all of the streaming services so far is that you need some kind of a big event to drive people to sign up,” Naveen Sarma, senior director at S&P Global, told the Hollywood Reporter when asked about NBC’s Peacock Olympic strategy. “Those ‘must-see’ events do drive people to subscribe.”
Here’s the daily Peacock live-sports schedule.
All times Eastern. Tokyo is 13 hours ahead of U.S. East Coast time.
