All the medal ceremonies will be available on Peacock for every event, so you won’t have to miss out on anything.

DIRECTV STREAM’s Entertainment plan has all the necessary channels for Olympics coverage: NBC, USA, E! and CNBC. While it doesn’t include Telemundo or Universo, none of the 3x3 basketball matchups are actually airing on the Spanish-language channels this Games, so you won’t need them.

With DIRECTV STREAM you'll get unlimited cloud DVR with all of its plans so you can record any of the events that you might miss so you can watch them later. You can store recordings for up to nine months. Plus, when the Olympics are over, you’ll have plenty of other sports channels to watch, including ESPN, FS1, Motor Trend and more.

Can NBA players play in 3x3 Olympics?

Yes, NBA players can play 3x3 basketball in the Olympics. However, they are required to earn International Basketball Federation points to qualify. They earn these through other 3x3 events, and many NBA players don’t have the time to participate in these events, which is why most players on the men’s 3x3 Olympic team are not NBA players.
