How to watch the Beijing Olympic Games on CBCSports.ca

Estimated read time 6 min read

It was an Olympic morning few Canadians will soon forget.

The women’s soccer team realized a near decade-old dream of winning a gold medal last Aug. 6 in Tokyo. On the track, Moh Ahmed captured silver in the 5,000 metres for his first Olympic medal. And fellow runner Andre De Grasse capped a three-medal performance in Japan, helping the men’s 4×100 relay team to bronze.

All of it accomplished within one hour or so, and all the action viewed by millions of Canadians on CBC TV or digitally through live streaming at CBC Gem、 and on phones via the CBC Sports app. Those who didn’t watch live read the breaking news and how the story unfolded at CBC’s Olympic website.

This week, the Olympic experience returns at the Winter Games in Beijing, where CBC/Radio-Canada — Canada’s Olympic Network — will provide around-the-clock coverage on all platforms with over 2,400 hours of live content along with broadcasts 。

Nineteen days of competition across 15 sports begin Wednesday with curling, women’s hockey and freestyle skiing.

Where can I watch the opening ceremony?

The opening ceremony will be broadcast live Friday on CBC TV and CBC News Network beginning with the pre-show at 6:30 am ET. Full coverage will be streamed on CBC Gem and the CBC Olympic website.

CBC is offering multiple live streams, including those with commentary in East Cree, dedicated Descriptive Video, and American Sign Language. If you miss the event, CBC TV will air an encore broadcast at 8 pm ET.

Those away from their television, laptop or tablet won’t miss out on their favourite athlete or team and can follow the action through CBC Gem and the CBC Sports app for iOS and Android デバイス。 The app can be downloaded from the respective app stores.

Within the app, the schedule will showcase a bell for each sporting event. Click the bell and an automatic reminder will be implemented notifying you, direct to your device, when the selected event will begin.

What should I do before streaming on the app?

Make sure you are running the latest version of the app. Go to Google Play or Apple App Store, find the app in question, and then use the built-in features to ensure you have the most recent version (if the app is in need of an update, you will be presented with an “update” option. If not, you will instead see the “installed” / “uninstall” options instead).

To achieve a full update, you can also delete the app from your device and then reinstall.
