Ready for the 2016 Olympics in Rio? Here's what you need to know to watch.

On TV

NBC will have the top events in primetime as well as daytime coverage, along with recaps in late-night when you'd normally be watching Jimmy Fallon.

Multiple cable channels will also air live events such as basketball, soccer, volleyball, rowing, and more.

To find out when events are airing, click here.

The Olympic Zone

Each night before NBC's primetime coverage (except on Sundays), KSDK will air The Olympic Zone, featuring our local reporters covering our athletes in Rio, as well as other features.

Every event will be livestreamed

We know you may not want to wait for the tape delay, but you're covered. Every round of every sport is available via livestream so you won't miss a single second of the action.

We'll provide links on KSDK.com and the NewsChannel 5 App to each day's live streams. You will have to authenticate that you have a cable or satellite subscription to watch.

To watch on your mobile device, you'll need to download the NBC Sports App. If you don't have it, don't worry. When you click on one of the livestream links for the first time, it will take you to the App Store to download free.

I want to see the big names like Michael Phelps and Simone Biles

No problem. Just go to NBC's athlete bio page. Search for the athlete you want it and it will tell you when they are competing.

I want to follow what your reporters are doing in Rio.

And they would love to hear from you! Case Nolen and Ryan Dean are in Rio and will be reporting on air, online, and on social media.

We'll also keep you updated on social media on the NewsChannel 5 Facebook page, the KSDK Sports Facebook page, and on Twitter @KSDKnews and @KSDKsports.
