How To Stream NBCUniversal’s Coverage of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games on Sling TV
Every four years, the world’s most elite summer athletes compete for the biggest honor of them all – an Olympic gold medal. This year is no different, as athletes from more than 200 countries meet in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to compete in more than 300 events from August 5-21. That’s a lot of action and because we know you might not be home when your favorite sport is airing, we are making it easy to watch NBCUniversal’s coverage of the Rio Olympics at home or on the go with Sling TV.
