Here's the television schedule for broadcasts of soccer games at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
Games are spread across a range of networks.
In English, NBCSN has the marquee broadcasts of the U.S. women's team. Some games air on a soccer specialty channel that NBC has made available to all pay-TV providers free of charge. Whether providers take the channel is up to them.
All games are streamed online at NBCOlympics.com, free of charge with authentication through participating TV providers. Spanish-language streaming is at TelemundoDeportes.com. Both sites have full suites of mobile, tablet and connected TV apps.
The lead English-language commentary team is play-by-play announcer Arlo White, color analyst Kate Markgraf and reporter Sebastian Salazar. They cover all U.S. women's games and are the only NBC soccer commentators calling games on site in Brazil. Tony DiCicco is part of the studio coverage at the International Broadcast Center in Rio de Janeiro.
The rest of the broadcast team is based at NBC Sports' headquarters in Stamford, Conn. Play-by-play annoucers are Steve Bower, Steve Cangialosi and Mark Followill. Color analysts are Robbie Earle, Stuart Holden, Kyle Martino and Robbie Mustoe for men's games and Angela Hucles and Danielle Slaton for women's games.
In Spanish, games air on Telemundo and NBC Universo. Andrés Cantor leads the coverage. His colleagues include Copán Álvarez, Miguel Gurwitz, Carlos Hermosillo, Frederik Oldenburg, Sammy Sadovnik, Manuel Sol and others.
Canadian readers can find games on TV across the consortium of CBC, TSN and Sportsnet channels in English, and on Radio-Canada and RDS in French. I've included all channel assignments that I've been able to find. TSN Radio also broadcasts all Canada games across its network of affiliates. All games are streamed on the CBC's website in English and Radio Canada's website in French.
