It’s been quite a process and in many cases, we wondered about whether we’d be able to have the Olympic Games taking place in Tokyo. But after a year in postponement, this morning (Friday, July 23rd), the Opening Ceremonies for the Summer Games will take place! Usually, we watch them during prime time but with the time difference of 13 hours in Tokyo, the schedule is a bit different this year!
NBC is the home of Olympic coverage (although throughout the NBC Universal network, you’ll be able to see a number of your favorite sports and countries competing). Below we have included the schedule regarding the ceremony. In addition to the links below and NBC, the ceremony will also be live on the NBC Sports app and on NBCOlympics.com.
