The long-awaited Tokyo 2020 Olympics are finally starting: starting today, July 23, after a different opening ceremony than usual. If you can't wait to watch your favorite events, know that you can do it in multiple ways: not only directly on TV, but also in live streaming (and on demand). Here's how to do it and how to take advantage of the opportunity even if you're abroad.
Tokyo 2020 Olympics: how to watch them in streaming
There are several possibilities for watching the events on the internet, but – unlike the European football championship – you cannot count on Rai Play: the screenshot below is clear on the subject. In fact, it seems that it is not possible to stream any event related to the Olympic Games. In fact, the networks have snapped up a 200-hour package, which will be dedicated to broadcasting the most interesting events on Rai 2 - but only on TV.
If you can't catch them on TV, don't worry though. There are solutions to see them in live streaming. In fact, you can take advantage of DAZN or Discovery+ or even Amazon Prime Video.
Our choice falls on DAZN without any doubt, because it is the only platform that allows you to enjoy content without paying extra. Both Discovery+ and Amazon Prime Video, on the other hand, require the purchase of separate packages.
Then there are several platforms abroad, some of which are absolutely free, that you can use to watch the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Perfect if you are abroad, if you want to use them from Italy, no problem. In fact, just get yourself a good VPN (like the one offered by Nord VPN, our favorite) and set up your connection as if it comes from Italy. Here is the list of the best foreign platforms:
Choose your preferred method, secure the best VPN of the moment and enjoy the best of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
