How to Watch the Opening Ceremony

After a yearlong delay, the opening ceremony for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics is almost here. But with social distancing and no fans, the ceremony, much like the Games, will look a lot different.

When is the opening ceremony?

The opening ceremony for the Olympics is scheduled for Friday night in Tokyo. But the 13-hour time difference with Tokyo means it will be Friday morning in the Eastern time zone of the United States.

How can I watch it and what time does it start?

NBC will have a live morning broadcast of the ceremony starting at 6:55 a.
