The 2018 Winter Olympics kick off tonight with the opening ceremonies getting started on. The good news for cord cutters is for the first time you can enjoy the Winter Olympics without missing anything.

Many of the biggest events will be 100% free on NBC with an antenna, but an additional 365.5 hours of Olympic coverage will be aired on NBCUniversal cable networks, which include NBCSN, CNBC, and the USA Network.

The good news is you do not need cable TV and the two-year contract to watch the Olympics. You can even stream the events on devices like Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, and more.

Here is how you can watch the Olympics as a cord cutter.

#1 Antenna

NBC will be the place to go for many of the biggest events including the opening and closing ceremonies. Hulu, DIRECTV NOW, Sling TV, YouTube TV, and PlayStation Vue all offer NBC in some markets; however, the best way to watch is 100% with an antenna.

#2 NBCSN, CNBC, and USA Network

The good news is every major streaming service includes NBCSN, CNBC, and USA Network. You should check out Hulu, DIRECTV NOW, Sling TV, PlayStation Vue, and other services.

Now the question is what are the least expensive options. So let’s take a look at the cheapest way to watch the 2018 Winter Olympics n Pyeongchang.

Hulu

Hulu with live TV subscribers will have full access to NBC’s coverage of the Winter Olympics both live and on demand. Not only will you get access to the events but for some smaller sports, the on-demand version will appear before it airs on a cable network. To top it all off Hulu will also allow you to customize your 2018 Winter Olympics. You will now be able to pick just the events you want to watch and skip the rest.

If you are a Hulu on-demand subscriber you can add Hulu’s live TV service for just $32 a month.

DIRECTV NOW

If you are an AT&T Unlimited Subscriber, you can get DIRECTV NOW for just $10 a month. AT&T gives AT&T Unlimited Subscribers $15 off DIRECTV NOW allowing you to get their $35 a month plan for just $20 a month.

DIRECTV NOW offers a 7-day free trial allowing you to test out DIRECTV NOW before you pay.

Sling TV

Sling TV is the least expensive option. You will need the Sling TV Blue package and the News add-on for a total of $30 a month. With that you will get every channel that will air the Olympics.

Sling TV does offer a 7-day free trial that will let you test out the service before you pay for it.

Other Options

The other options include YouTube TV in select markets for $35 a month, fuboTV for $44.99 (After $19.99 for the first month), and PlayStation Vue for $39.99 a month. Both are great options but they cost a little bit more than the competition.
