The 2024 Olympic Games are finally here, and the entirety of the Olympic Games, including the Opening Ceremony, will be streamed on Peacock, with coverage also being broadcast on NBC, E!, USA and the Golf Channel every day of the 16-day event, but if you're looking for coverage specific to a particular country, or don't want to shell out for another streaming service just to watch all the Peacock-exclusive swimming and tennis events, you've got options on how to watch.

Where to watch the Olympics for free with a VPN?
While Peacock may be the most comprehensive place to watch the Olympics, it comes with a monthly subscription fee. If you're interested in watching the Olympics for free, you can stream free sports coverage from all around the world with the help of a VPN.
A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you’re looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to the fight for free this weekend without ordering on PPV, a VPN can help you out. Looking to try a VPN for the first time? This guide breaks down the best VPN options for every kind of user.
