Here’s the how, when and where you can watch the luge events at the 2018 Winter Olympics from Pyeongchang, South Korea.

First contested at the 1964 Games in Innsbruck, Austria, luge will once again take place at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics. From Feb. 10-15, four types of luge events (men’s, women’s, doubles, team relay) will take center stage at the Alpensia Sliding Centre in South Korea.

Let’s go ahead and address the time change issue to get started. Pyeongchang is 14 hours ahead of the Eastern Time Zone in the United States, meaning that if an event were to start at 10:00 a.m. on a Saturday in South Korea, that event would start in primetime at 8:00 p.m. on the East Coast on Friday night. Easy enough, right?

If you’re looking to watch every single event live, you can stream them live or on-demand at NBCOlympics.com or on the NBC Sports app. Here’s a quick overview of the luge schedule. The events listed in bold are medal events and will feature the actual time of the event in Pyeongchang (KT) and what time it takes place in the Eastern Time Zone (ET) so be sure to adjust accordingly to where you live.

With the early start times in the U.S., many may choose to stay offline (as difficult as that may be) and catch the luge events on television a little later on across the networks of NBC Universal. If you’re one of these people, here’s the full list of the times and networks to watch. Some of the events may be lumped in with others so it’s hard to pinpoint exactly when luge might be featured on the broadcast but at the time of this writing, it’s planned to be featured at some point in the broadcasts listed below. Times and dates are in the Eastern Time Zone (ET). Again, be sure to adjust accordingly depending on where you live.
