The 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio are officially underway, and for all of those who are looking to catch any of the events, FanSided has you covered.

Although NBC will be the most popular channel for Olympic coverage, those who prefer to watch sporting events in Spanish will be able to watch Olympic events in Español thanks to NBC Universo. However, NBC Universo won’t have the same coverage as the flagship channel, so be sure to check NBC’s Olympic TV guide for listings on all of the events.

Unfortunately, the Opening Ceremony on Friday night will only be televised on NBC, which means that Spanish-speaking viewers won’t be able to tune in on NBC Universo.

For those who aren’t sure what channel NBC Universo is on, here are the official channel listings for major cable providers like Time Warner, DirecTV and Comcast. Since NBC Universo’s channel changes by location, be sure to click the link for your cable provider below and choose your area so you can be sure you find the right channel.

NBC Universo’s official Olympic coverage will begin on Saturday at 6 p.m. ET. Their coverage will be showing the men’s basketball preliminary game between China and the United States along with some boxing.

There are going to be plenty of events to watch over the next couple of weeks, and NBC Universo will be one of the channels to check out all of the action.
