How to Watch the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics Online

VPNrevie.ws -

100 nations. 102 events. 1,800 hours of live coverage. The 2018 Winter Olympics are coming to PyeongChang, South Korea! Wondering how to watch the Winter Olympic Games online?

Several options exist, both free and paid.

Without a cable subscription

Through the BBC

  1. Connect to a UK VPN server or be in the UK
  2. Go to the BBC Olympics Page
  3. Register for free

Another way to watch the BBC online and legally is TVPlayer.com There are of course other routes of more dubious legality such as TVCatchup or your preferred IPTV provider.

Youtube TV, Sling, PlayStation Vue

  1. Connect to a US VPN server or be in the US
  2. Start a free trial or subscribe to Youtube TV, Sling or PlayStation Vue

The $25 Sling TV Blue is the most affordable plan, as will give you access to NBC, NBC Sports Network, and USA networks. If you add the $10 Sports Extra package you will get the Olympic Channel, and with the $5 News Extra package, CNBC

You might need to spoof your location with a Google Chrome extension

The PlayStation Vue is the best service for you if the PS4 is your device of choice

Eurosport Player

  1. Connect to a UK server or be in the UK
  2. Go to Eurosport's Olympics page
  3. Subscribe for 5 pounds a day or 30 pounds per year.

Same thing with the app, since it requires a cable or satellite subscription login.
Apart from the usual suspects - Android and iOS - the app is available on Roku, Amazon Fire TV devices, Apple TVs, Windows 10 PCs and tablets in the Windows Store, some Samsung Tizen-based smart TVs, and Xbox One.
If you have a PS4, you can try the PlayStation Vue subscription, but NBC is not available on it, so you'll miss some of the coverage of the events.
