Wednesday’s action at the Olympics in Tokyo is highlighted by the men’s gymnastics all-around competition, the last day of the men’s soccer tournament’s group stage, a number of swimming finals, and the start of the men’s golf tournament.

The U.S. men’s basketball team also plays Iran, streamed live on Peacock at 12:40 a.m. and televised on delay on NBC at 3 p.m.

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.

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.
