Tokyo 2020 is the first Olympics where Eurosport owners Discovery has the overall broadcast rights in the UK, with the BBC sub-licensing rights for broadcast on BBC One, BBC Two and a single red button stream.

In addition to coverage on Eurosport 1, Eurosport 2 and the seven pop-up channels, additional live streams will be made available through the discovery+ streaming service for the first time.

After a delay of a year due to coronavirus, the Olympics officially begin on Friday with the opening ceremony, although the action in some sports such as football and softball begins tomorrow.

Eurosport 3 to Eurosport 9 can be found on Sky channels 983 to 989, BT channels 401 to 407 and Virgin channels 537 to 543.
