The Olympics is the world’s largest sports spectacle, gathering thousands of the best athletes all over the world to compete in one venue. People cheer and root for their fellow countrymen as they vie for honor, glory and a place in the history books. If you want to show your support for your favorite teams and athletes in the Games, you’ll be happy to know that you can watch the Tokyo Olympics live on TV and the Internet.

The Tokyo Olympics was originally scheduled to take place from July 24 to August 9, 2020, but due to the pandemic, it was moved to July 23 until August 8, 2021. The 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, features 339 events in 33 sports across 50 disciplines. Six new sports were added: sports climbing, surfing, skateboarding, karate, baseball and softball.

The Philippine delegation at the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics is as follows:

  • Elreen Ando (Weightlifting – Women’s 64kg)
  • Kurt Barbosa (Taekwondo – Men’s 58kg)
  • Hidilyn Diaz (Weightlifting – Women’s 55kg)
  • Margielyn Didal (Skateboard – Women’s Street)
  • Luke Gebbie (Swimming – Men’s 50m and 100m Freestyle)
  • Kristina Knott (Athletics – Women’s 200m)
  • Irish Magno (Boxing – Women’s Flyweight)
  • Eumir Marcial (Boxing – Men’s Middleweight)
  • Cris Nievarez (Rowing – Men’s Single Sculls)
  • Ernest John Obiena (Athletics – Men’s Pole Vault)
  • Carlo Paalam (Boxing – Men’s Flyweight)
  • Bianca Pagdanganan (Golf – Women’s)
  • Juvic Pagunsan (Golf – Men’s)
  • Nesthy Petecio (Boxing – Women’s Featherweight)
  • Remedy Rule (Swimming – Women’s 200m Butterfly)
  • Yuka Saso (Golf – Women’s)
  • Jayson Valdez (Shooting – Men’s Air Rifle 10m)
  • Kiyomi Watanabe (Judo – Women’s 63kg)
  • Carlos Yulo (Gymnastics – Artistic)

For many of us, watching the Olympics is one way to show our support for our athletes as they compete with the world’s best to bring honor and glory to our country. Unfortunately, not everyone has access to sports channels that broadcast the Olympic competitions for free or for a fee.

If you don’t have access to sports TV channels, there are websites and apps that let you watch the Tokyo Olympics for free on your computer or mobile device. With these free apps and websites, you can choose the sports channel to view or the event and competition (e.g. basketball, boxing, football) to follow.

Thanks to the Internet, you can watch and cheer for your countrymen without getting hooked to the television set. So grab your laptop or smartphone as we discuss the websites and mobile apps where you can watch the Tokyo Olympics live without paying a dime.
