The football season is well over, pitchers and catchers are just reporting to Spring Training and the NBA is now in its All-Star break. (Plus how many times can you watch Giannis almost-but-not-quite roll his ankles before your heart can't take it anymore?) So yeah, we're in the dry part of the sports calendar.
Thankfully, the sports gods have heard your prayers and delivered several weeks of thrilling and chilling global competition with the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, starting tonight on NBC and its collection of networks. There's plenty of Olympics action, with 102 events spread across 15 sports categories and 18 days – but when can you catch the figure skating competition? When will curling be on? What is the biathlon again? And, most importantly, when can I watch it?
With the help of streaming on NBC Sports' website, it's never been easier to catch the games anywhere. But for those who still love crashing on the couch in front of the TV, decked out in their patriotic best, here's when and where you can catch everything for the next two weeks of sporting prowess. (Pro-tip: Learn what channel the NBC Sports Network is now).

As much as it is a gigantic cliché to say that one has always had a passion for film, Matt Mueller has always had a passion for film. Whether it was bringing in the latest movie reviews for his first grade show-and-tell or writing film reviews for the St. Norbert College Times as a high school student, Matt is way too obsessed with movies for his own good.
When he's not writing about the latest blockbuster or talking much too glowingly about "Piranha 3D," Matt can probably be found watching literally any sport (minus cricket) or working at - get this - a local movie theater. Or watching a movie. Yeah, he's probably watching a movie.
