The 4K coverage is far more extensive than expected. The 148 hours will include figure skating, short track, ski jumping, snowboarding, ice hockey, and the opening and closing ceremonies.

The 4K HDR video will be made available from NBC on a 24-hour delay, which has the exclusive rights to broadcast the games in the United States.
Comcast and Dish have also said they will air highlights on demand in 4K, but have yet to reveal specific schedules. The Winter Olympics will begin on February 8 with the Opening Ceremony and run until February 25, but DIRECTV’S 4K coverage will not begin until February 9.
That said, below is DIRECTV’s complete 4K HDR schedule for the 2018 Winter Olympics Games.
