The 2022 Winter Olympics are ready to start in Beijing. The time difference between China and the United States may make it tricky to figure out what will happen when, but we’re here to help.
When do the Olympics start?
The opening ceremony is scheduled for Friday evening, at 8 p.m. Beijing time. That will be 7 a.m. Eastern time and 4 a.m. Pacific. Unlike in some previous years, NBC will telecast the ceremony live in the United States morning, and then repeat it in prime time.
A handful of preliminary events are being held through Friday.
