NBC Olympics TV and streaming schedule for July 29

Thursday’s action at the Olympics in Tokyo is highlighted by the opening of track and field competition, including Temple alum Ajee’ Wilson — a New Jersey native who trains in Philadelphia — in 800-meter heats. She’s looking to become the first American to win gold in the event since 1968, and the first American to win a medal of any kind in it since 1988.

There’s also the women’s gymnastics all-around competition, and lots of big swimming races in which Americans are favored to win gold medals. And late at night U.S. time, the United States women’s basketball team plays host nation Japan.

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.
