With the Tokyo Olympics started, we thought that we would pull together the Athletics Olympic Schedule of Events for you, identify where to watch, and highlight the Canadian’s to cheer for!

Schedule of Events & How to Watch

  • – Athletics Schedule: With the first Athletic events kicking off on Friday, July 30th, you can find the full list of events here: https://olympics.com/tokyo-2020/olympic-games/en/results/athletics/olympic-schedule-and-results.htm *note all times are in venue local time
  • – How to Watch (in Canada): Tokyo 2020 coverage is split between a range of different broadcasters in Canada. If you’ve got a cable subscription, you can watch the Olympics on Sportsnet, TSN, CBC and TLN. Sportsnet, TSN and CBC will let you watch the action from Tokyo online, too – either by registering with details of your pay TV provider, or by signing up for a standalone streaming package.
