Simone Biles makes her much-anticipated return to action at the Olympics on Tuesday, as she competes in the women’s gymnastics balance beam event. You can watch it live on Peacock in the early-morning hours, or rebroadcast on NBC’s prime time show starting at 8 p.m.

Other highlights of Tuesday’s action include the men’s soccer semifinals, the U.S. men’s basketball team’s quarterfinal against Spain, and the finals of the women’s 400-meter hurdles and 800-meter run. Trenton’s Athing Mu is a contender for the gold medal in the latter event.

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.

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.
