How will you watch the action from Rio?

The viewers are in control when it comes to Rio Olympic coverage, and if you’re a fan of more than swimming, athletics and a handful of other better-known Olympic sports, then this is your year!

Beginning with the opening ceremony coverage (with the official ceremony aspect scheduled to commence at 9am AEST this morning), Seven will show live, free-to-air coverage on all three of its digital channels (7, 7TWO, 7Mate) as well as all three also being streamed online for free.

In addition to that, anyone that wants to immerse themselves in Olympic content can pay just $20 for Seven’s premium service, which allows access to a further 36 digital channels. All 36 will have live action, and replay on demand so you can watch the Games at your leisure.

If you’re worried about the subscription cost, think of it as $1.25 a day for every day of the Games, it’s not a half bad deal at all. It’s even better for Telstra customers who get access to the premium content for free. Free.

With so much access at your fingertips, there’s really no excuse to miss an NSWIS athlete claiming gold at some point in the next 16 days.

Fingers crossed!
