Most of those providers also offer a free trial, so if you don't already subscribe to an Internet TV service, you might still be able to get at least portions of the Olympics for free. The most extended trial version is available from YouTube TV, but you can also access trial versions from Hulu Live TV, Sling TV, Fubo TV, and DirectTV Now. You can get free trials of many of these services: Get a free trial of fuboTV now Sign up for a free trial of Hulu here Check out Sling TV's free trial now

Watching the Olympics on an Antenna

Your last option to see the Olympics is an antenna. Before you go shopping for an antenna, take a look around your home or apartment building. Why? Maybe there's already an antenna in place. Old homes and apartment buildings might already have the antenna and cables in place, so it's worth checking out.

A few events, like the opening and closing ceremonies, are typically shown exclusively on NBC network channels.
