NBC Olympics TV and streaming schedule for July 31
The world’s fastest woman will be crowned, the U.S. men's basketball team plays its group stage finale, and there's another batch of swimming medals up for grabs.
The world’s fastest woman will be crowned Saturday in Tokyo in the Olympics’ 100-meter sprint, but you won’t see it live on TV. It’s only live on NBC’s Peacock streaming platform, with a tape-delayed TV broadcast on NBC’s flagship primetime show.
Other highlights of Saturday’s action include the U.S. men’s basketball team’s group stage finale, potential swimming medals for Simone Manuel and Caeleb Dressel, and the quarterfinals of the men’s soccer tournament.

In addition to TV coverage on NBC’s broadcast and cable channels in English and Spanish, every event of every Olympic competition is available to stream live on NBCOlympics.com. You’ll have to log in with your pay-TV provider, whether cable, satellite, or streaming platforms, including YouTube TV, FuboTV and Sling TV.
Some track and field, gymnastics, and U.S. men’s basketball events are available outside that paywall on Peacock, NBC’s online streaming service. All such events except U.S. men’s basketball games are on Peacock’s free tier; men’s basketball is on the paid subscription tier.
Replays of some events from across the Olympics are also available on Peacock, along with highlight shows and features.
If you have a Comcast Xfinity cable subscription with an X1 box, live online streams of events are integrated into the sports tab right next to TV broadcasts.
NBC also has apps for mobile devices, tablets, and connected-TV devices including Android TV, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Samsung TV, and more. There’s a FAQ page on NBC’s website here if you have more questions.
The full event schedule for the entire Olympics is available here. Live scores and results are available here.
