We’re more than a week into the Olympics and it’s already one for the books.

More from Variety

Chloe Kim won another gold with her first run in the halfpipe. Nathan Chen finally won figure skating gold. The U.S. men’s hockey team opened in victory after defeating China. And, in a more alarming turn of events, legal issues have arisen over figure skating medals following Russia’s win.

The games have looked a little different this year due to recent surges of the Omicron variant. Out of safety precautions, organizers have announced that international spectators will be barred from attending, with only a limited number of spectators allowed at any of the in-person events.

This year there will be a total of 109 events on the roster, the highest in history. New events include women’s monobobsled, freestyle skiing big air, and mixed team events such as short track speed skating team relay, ski jumping, freestyle skiiing aerials and snowboard cross.

Although you can’t cheer on your favorite teams and athletes in person this year, there are plenty of ways to stream the action online for free (and rep Team USA with new Olympics merch).

As always, the games are broadcast live on NBC but if you don’t have cable you can still access the network through streaming services such as FuboTV and Sling TV. Below, check out the best ways to stream the action online and this week’s full schedule.

Sling TV

You can get Sling TV for only $10 for the first month (plus a free DVR), making it the perfect choice for those looking to sneak in a short-term subscription in time for the Olympics.
