Such a big event demands worldwide coverage, and that’s exactly what it got. Thanks to several broadcasters around the world, most of you won’t be missing any of the action the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics has in stores for us.
However, you should know that each and every channel on our list today is restricted to its own respective country. In other words, the services apply geo-blocking on their content, which restricts viewer access to specific locations. I’ll be talking about this issue later on. As for now, here are the official Lausanne 2020 broadcasters:
NBC Sports/Olympic Channel (USA)
BBC iPlayer (UK)
NHK (Japan)
beIN Sports (MENA)
RTS (Switzerland)
The channels rely on your IP address to determine your location. If it happens to be coming from an overseas region, you’ll be instantly blocked. Take RTS as an example. The service only operates within Switzerland, which means that you need a Swiss IP to tap into its content.
