Since the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro ended, it was known that the following would begin on July 24, 2020 in Tokyo. Absolutely no one could think back then that this was not going to be the case. In early 2020, the coronavirus all over the planet, infecting and killing hundreds of thousands of people in all countries without exception. Faced with such a situation, the entire planet was confined to a greater or lesser extent, in order to reduce the number of infections.
And that is how the two most important sporting events in the world, such as the Soccer Eurocup 2020 and the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, were suspended and postponed for a year. The president of the organizing committee Yoshiro Mori announced it: “The name of Tokyo 2020 will be maintained, and it will be held in 2021.”
How to watch the Olympics for free on TV
Both in RTVE like in DAZN You can watch the 2020 Olympics for free online. Yes, yes, DAZN is a payment platform, but now later we will tell you how to enjoy the Olympic event without paying a single euro from the main streaming sports platform.
In the case of RTVE, the issue is clear. It is the Spanish public television, which is paid with the taxes of all Spaniards, and will broadcast all the competitions of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in open air, both on television and in streaming. In addition, you will have all the competitions already held on your platform so that they can be viewed on a delayed basis. The chain is going to overturn without a doubt with the Olympic Games.
You will have several ways of being able to follow the Olympics with the public entity of RTVE. You can do it through La1, Teledeporte, its streaming video platform, its social networks or its official channel of Youtube, in addition to listening to broadcasts from RNE.
And another very interesting option is to see it through the traditional channels of the Olympics Eurosport 1 Y Eurosport 2 which includes the streaming video platform DAZN. On this platform you can also follow the Olympics on DAZN from its inauguration to its closure, completely free. And without cheating or cardboard.
How is it possible, if DAZN is paid?
You can follow all the Olympic Games on DAZN’s Eurosport channels.
The DAZN sports platform offers all its new subscribers a 30-day free trial period. After this trial period, the client decides whether to continue or not subscribed, without obligation, without penalty and without complications when unsubscribing. Since the Olympics last just over two weeks, I don’t need to explain anything more to you.
It should also be borne in mind that depending on the payment option you choose, the free period can be extended up to three months.
Let’s see. Subscribing to DAZN carries a monthly payment of 9.99 euros, or an annual payment of 99.99 euros (you pay 10 months). With both monthly and yearly options, DAZN offers 30 days free trial. However, if we opt for a single annual payment, to that free month, the two that you save with the annual offer would be added. That is, you would enjoy 13 months but you would pay only 10, so you could see the Olympic Games, the Paralympics and, among others, the start of the Premier League or the Euroleague. Take it now.
In addition to the Olympics, these two channels, included in the DAZN subscription, collect competitions of the highest level such as Roland Garros (Tennis), the Dakar rally (Motorsports), the Formula E (Motorcycling) or the World Championship (Snooker). In the end, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games last just over 15 days, so the rest of the year is occupied by other top-level sports disciplines.

An Olympics without an audience in the stands
But when it was decided to postpone these two great sporting events, the hope was that by today the virus was already under control. But it has not been that way. Even having an important part of the population already vaccinated, the appearance of the variant Delta COVID-19 is wreaking havoc among the young population, still unvaccinated, and a new wave of infections has appeared.
So while in the stadiums where the Euro 2021 We have seen fans in the stands (with restricted seats depending on the area), finally the Japanese health authorities have advised against opening the stadiums and sports halls to the public, and the Olympic Games in Tokyo 2021 They will be held behind closed doors, with no public in the stands.
The decision to hold the competition at door closed It was decided after a five-party meeting attended by the president of the International Olympic Committee, Thomas Bach, and representatives of the Tokyo 2020 organizing committee, the International Paralympic Committee and the metropolitan governments of Japan and Tokyo.
Thus, the Olympic Games begin on July 23th, with the opening and inauguration ceremony in the city of Tokyo, and ends on August 8, two weeks after the starting gun in an event marked by the happy coronavirus and the absence of public, but which will have an important Spanish delegation with aspirations to conquer a good number of medals.
