Gotchas
Peacock alone gives you every event live, but you will miss NBC's prime-time studio show unless you also have an antenna or live TV service.
YouTube TV and Hulu + Live TV are more expensive but include the full NBC/USA Network channel experience.
Free trials may be available — check each service before the Games start.
Antenna reception varies by location — check antennaweb.org for your area.

Other ways to watch
Let’s be real — you probably ditched cable years ago and you’re not signing back up for two weeks of Olympics. Good news: you don’t have to. Here’s exactly what cord-cutters need.
Option 1: Peacock Premium ($7.99/mo)
This is the cord-cutter’s best friend for these Games. Peacock streams every single Olympic event live and on-demand. Sign up on February 1, watch the entire Olympics, cancel on February 23. Total cost: $7.99.
You’ll miss the USA Network cable broadcast, but every event shown on USA is also available on Peacock’s individual sport streams. The only real sacrifice is the produced studio show on USA — and honestly, you won’t miss it.
Option 2: Antenna + Peacock ($7.99/mo + one-time $25–40)
Buy a digital antenna for NBC’s free prime-time coverage, then add Peacock for everything else. This gives you the full NBC broadcast experience on your TV plus complete streaming access. It’s the cheapest way to get both live daytime and prime-time coverage.
Option 3: Live TV Streaming Service ($40–75/mo)
If you want the traditional channel-surfing experience — flipping between NBC, USA Network, and other cable channels — a live TV streaming service replicates that without a cable box.
| Service | Monthly Cost | NBC | USA Network |
|---|---|---|---|
| YouTube TV | $72.99 | Yes | Yes |
| Hulu + Live TV | $76.99 | Yes | Yes |
| fuboTV | $74.99 | Yes | Yes |
| Sling Blue | $40.00 | Select markets | Yes |
| DirecTV Stream | $79.99 | Yes | Yes |
Most of these offer free trials. Time it right — sign up the week before the Opening Ceremony and you might get 5–7 days free before your first charge.
The Play I’d Actually Make
Peacock Premium at $7.99 covers 95% of what you need. Add an antenna if you want NBC on the big TV. Skip the $70/mo live TV services unless you already use one for other reasons.
