Looking at when the Olympics Opening Ceremonies in Rio will end

Even with all of the grandeur seen in most sports, there may be nothing that even comes close to rivaling the spectacle that is the Olympics Opening Ceremonies. There are performances galore, the parade of athletes, and so much more. That’s the way it has always been every summer and every winter, and that’s the way it’ll be for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio.

On Friday night, the Olympics Opening Ceremonies are being held in Rio in front of all the eager fans waiting to see all of the athletes and the show that the city is going to put on as the host. There will be dancing, singing, and more Olympics-based things like the lighting of the torch and the reveal of who lights the torch.

All in all, there’s a ton to see at the Rio Olympics Opening Ceremonies. Because of that simple fact, though, the ceremony as a whole is almost always incredibly long.

With the Olympics Opening Ceremonies seemingly taking an eternity, there are many viewers trying to soak it all in that might be wondering how long they are going to have to stay up to watch this. In essence, you want to know when the Olympics Opening Ceremonies end.

As stated, they are incredibly long. With coverage officially starting at 7:30 p.m. ET and the real show getting underway at 8 p.m. ET, the Opening Ceremonies are scheduled to go until midnight ET. However, there is always the chance that they wind up going over. Even still, it should be coming to an end somewhere around that time.
