While Singapore does not have an athlete competing at the games this year, the event is set to be an exciting one to watch with 15 different sports, three different locations and a variety of strict Covid-19 precautions in place. 

If you are hoping to be able to get live coverage of the games while they are happening, here’s how you can watch it in Singapore. 

Where to watch the games and get updates

Mediacorp is the official media network for the Winter Olympic Games so it will be delivering free coverage of the games across multiple platforms. These include Mewatch, Channel 5 and its Mediacorp Entertainment Youtube channel.

Key updates will also be available on CNA, CNA938, Today, 8World, Berita and Seithi, if you are looking for a quick rundown.

There will also be daily game highlights and winning moments provided on-demand.

Mediacorp will also be running a 24-hour Olympics News Channel where you can get round the clock updates. 

Where to watch the opening and closing ceremonies

Channel 5 will be broadcasting the opening and closing ceremonies live on February 4 at 8 pm and February 20 at 8 pm. 

If you are unable to watch it live, the ceremonies will be available on Mediacorps’s Youtube channel. 

Where to find the game schedule

If you are wondering when your favourite athletes will be participating in certain sports and where they will be competing, you can find the schedule for the coverage here.

You can also add a reminder to your calendars directly from the schedule so you don’t miss anything. 

However, as a general guide, the ice sports, as well as certain snow events, will be held in central Beijing—which will also host the opening and closing ceremonies. 

Yanqing, which is a mountainous suburb of China’s capital, will host the Alpine skiing and sliding events as well as the Olympic Athletes’ village.

Zhangjiakou, located about 180 kilometres northwest of Beijing, will be the location for the majority of skiing and snowboarding events.
