Winter Olympics 2022 Preview, Time, Date, FAQ and News

Winter Olympics 2022 preview: When the Summer Olympics conclude, there's typically an 18-month wait before the start of the Winter Games. This year, the time between the events will be much shorter.

The 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo were postponed for a full year because of the coronavirus pandemic. And things will be wrapping up Sunday, when the closing ceremony is set to be held at Japan National Stadium.

But the 2022 Winter Olympics are still set for February. So when the Games begin Feb. 4 in Beijing, it will have been less than half a year since the end of the Summer Olympics.

Logo

The logo was designed by artist Lin Cunzhen, and according to Olympics.com, "The emblems combine traditional and modern elements of Chinese culture, as well as features embodying the passion and vitality of winter sports."

There will be a record 109 events held in Beijing, including seven that will be making their Olympic debuts: women's monobob, short track mixed team relay, ski jumping mixed team event, men's freestyle skiing big air, women's freestyle skiing big air, aerials mixed team event and snowboard cross mixed team event.

Live:

NBC’s flagship channel is a broadcast TV network, which means NBC’s local affiliates all over the country broadcast the network over the air for free. Yes, it’s still possible to watch the Winter Olympics for free the same way past generations did, and all you’ll need is a modern antenna with enough range to pick up your nearest NBC affiliate. This is a great way to watch the Winter Olympics without cable if you care most about the big events, including the opening and closing ceremonies. It’s not, however, a way to watch the stuff on other NBC channels, such as USA Network. For that, you’ll have to use one of the other methods on this list.
