2022 Winter Olympics: What is the time difference with Beijing?

The 2022 Winter Olympics will take place in Beijing. What time difference will viewers have to account for when the athletes take to the snow and ice?

It’s been four years but the Winter Olympics are finally back.

From snowboarding and ice skating to bobsledding and curling, there will be all sorts of action to take in when the cameras start rolling in Beijing.

Of course, the location for the Olympics always plays a role in how viewers end up watching events. So what is the time difference for Beijing?

What is the Beijing time difference for the 2022 Winter Olympics

Beijing time is 13 hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time in the United States.

So at 12:00 a.m. in New York, it is 1:00 p.m. in Beijing.

It’ll be less than ideal for live viewing of events. For instance, the opening ceremonies will be in the morning in America. Other events will take place late at night.

Still, those interested can tune into NBC’s primetime coverage for delayed viewing of full events and highlights from Beijing.

There will be 109 events in seven sports and across 15 disciplines. The opening ceremonies will be on Feb. 4 to kick things off before the closing ceremonies wrap things up on Feb. 20.

Representatives of the United States will look to add to the tally of 305 medals for the country in Winter Olympics history.
