The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will be televised on NBC (Ch. 11), USA Network and CNBC. Live streaming of every event and replays are available with a Peacock premium subscription and on NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Sports app for those with a cable, satellite or internet television service provider. (Events are listed in Central time, which is 14 hours behind Beijing time.)

Sunday's Best Bets

Cross-county skiing: The final event of the Beijing Olympics will be the women's 30km mass start freestyle (12:30 a.m., USA Network). The most decorated athlete in Winter Olympics history, Norway's Marit Bjoergen, retired after winning gold in this event in 2014 and 2018, so look for Sweden's Charlotte Kalla and Jonna Sundling to compete for a medal along with Norwegian Therese Johaug, who already has two golds at these games. Afton's Jessie Diggins will compete in the race, her sixth event of these Olympics.

Closing ceremony: The closing ceremonies of the 2022 Winter Olympics will air live from Beijing (6 a.m., NBCOlympics.com, NBC Sports app, Peacock premium) with a replay in primetime (7 p.m., Ch. 11).
