HOW TO WATCH Tokyo Olympics 2020

Over the next two weeks, catch all the action from the delayed Tokyo Olympics on the BBC. Here’s our guide to how to watch and who to look out for…

How to watch: Tokyo is eight hours ahead, so live coverage of the 33 sports making up this year’s Games takes place overnight and in the early hours, starting at 12 midnight on BBC1 and hosted by JJ Chalmers. At 6am, Dan Walker and Sam Quek co-host a special edition of BBC Breakfast. Then, from 9am, it’s over to Hazel Irvine and Gabby Logan. Each evening, there will be highlights in Today At The Games, hosted by

Clare Balding and Alex Scott (centre), before the highlights switch to BBC2 for Olympics 2020 Extra. You can also catch up or watch live on BBC iplayer, online or via the red button, and there’s extensive coverage on Eurosport. Radio coverage: BBC Radio 5 Live will make sure you don’t miss a minute of the next 16 days of competition. From today, Mark Chapman and Rachel Burden present a daily Olympic Breakfast (6am), bringing you all the overnight news from Japan plus live commentary. Then, every night from 1am, in Up All Night, there will be live action from all the morning sessions. Ones to watch: Team GB selected 376 athletes for Tokyo and, for the first time in the Summer Games, it will field more female athletes than male. Our oldest competitor is 54-year-old equestrian Carl Hester; the youngest is 13-year-old skateboarder Sky Brown.
