This summer is so exciting! With the London Olympics kicking off this weekend, I can’t wait to watch the London Olympics and catch some awesome athletic feats! Sadly, the one downside to the London Olympics is being unable to watch it live, but luckily that’s changed this year! NBC is streaming over 5,500 hours of the London Olympics to you live online and live on your phone! 

How do I watch the London Olympics live online? Sign up! As long as you have satellite or a cable provider with NBC, all you’ll need to do is go online and sign up to watch the live feed of the London Olympics. You only have to sign up once, and the website will remember you. There are multiple events in the London Olympics going on simultaneously, so choose your favorite event and watch it live! No delays or tapes for any of the London Olympics 32 sports and 302 events!

Just watching the London Olympics online is not enough! Due to the time zone differences, you might not be able to sit at home on your computer to watch your favorite event at the London Olympics. Luckily this year you can take the London Olympics with your tablet or smart phone! There are a couple ways that’ll get you access to all the London Olympic fun while on the go!

First off, there is the basic Olympics app for tablets and smart phones. The free NBC Olympics mobile app follows all of the action with live updates on every event from London. It’s got news, schedules, TV & online listings, and much more! You can also follow your favorite athletes from the London Olympics too!

Next there is the Olympics Live app for tablets and smart phones! This app is basically like being signed up for the Olympics feed online. You get all 32 sports live and replays! It also comes with all the basic features of the basic Olympics app.

If you’re not a fan of apps, go to NBC Olympic mobile website instead which provides you with the same experience of viewing the London Olympics live!

Just remember that the London Olympics opening ceremony will not be live, instead it can only be viewed on NBC starting at 7:30 PM. Also most of the interviews and features will still be on prime time, so be sure to watch the events during the airing time on tv as well! But if you’re in it to see your favorite athlete win it, then watch the London Olympics events live!

Now that you know how to watch the London Olympics live, make sure to keep an eye out for the London Olympics schedule of your favorite events on NBC. Remember the time difference for the London Olympics. Depending on where you live, the timing is very different so make sure you figure out the events to your timezone!
