How to watch the first two heats for men’s luge at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea via a live stream or television.

There are three track sports competing for time at the Alpensia Sliding Centre during the 2018 Winter Olympics. Luge gets the first shot at the track and the men’s singles kicking off on Saturday.

The luge event begins at 5:10 a.m. ET on Saturday in the United States. The field will all go through their first run, then the second runs will commence at 6:55 a.m. ET.

The luge event never has a bracket or head-to-head competition. Competitors will have four runs over two days, and the fastest cumulative time after four runs wins the gold medal.

So even though this portion of the men’s single luge event is labeled as qualifying, it’s immensely important to determining who walks away with the gold medal.

You can stream the event live on NBC Sports Live or Fubo.TV, but watching it on TV seems a bit trickier. NBC Sports said all events would be aired live, but it appears there will be a small tape delay on luge.

On NBC’s TV Listings for Olympics events, it shows Luge airing at 11:30 a.m. ET and again at 3 p.m. ET. If you wake up early on Saturday to watch people hurl themselves down an icy chute at over 80 mph, you’re best bet might be streaming it with the NBC Sports Live app.
