Bobsled races at the 2022 Beijing Olympics begin February 12; the final races will take place February 19. All events will be streamed live on Peacock and select events will be broadcast live or re-aired on NBC and USA.

Team USA heads into the competition looking to win a medal in their sixth consecutive Olympics. Since the last Winter Olympics, Kaillie Humphries, who previously competed for Canada, became a US citizen and now competes for Team USA. She is the reigning world champion in two-woman and monobob.  

In the men's competition, a four-man bobsled team from Jamaica is returning to the Olympics for the first time in 24 years. The film "Cool Runnings" was inspired by Jamaica's 1988 bobsled run, in which they crashed out but carried their sled over the finish line. The team enters the competition with the mindset that they can win a medal. They hope to become the best-finishing Jamaican bobsled team in Olympic history. 

How to watch Olympic bobsled events

You can watch every bobsled race at the 2022 Winter Olympics live on the Peacock Premium streaming service. A Peacock Premium plan costs $5 a month.

Some races will also air on NBC and USA. If you have access to NBC through a pay-TV provider, you can stream those events on the NBC or NBC Sports app, and on NBCOlympics.com.

If you don't have cable, you can watch NBC's broadcast coverage on a live TV streaming service, like Sling TV, FuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, or Youtube TV. The most budget-friendly option of the bunch is Sling's Blue plan, which costs $35 a month. New customers can get their first month for $10. This plan includes NBC and USA.

Note: NBC is only available in select markets, so be sure to check availability on Sling's website first.
