NBC Sports will be broadcasting all 15 women’s soccer qualifiers for the 2016 Summer Olympics.
“We’re pleased to provide coverage of the Olympic qualifying tournament in women’s soccer, featuring the U.S. Women’s National Team,” said a NBC Sports Group spokesperson.
NBC Sports will be broadcasting every game live on its streaming platform NBC Sports Live Extra, which will include all of the US Women’s National Team matches. Select games will be shown live on television, but the vast majority will be available via streaming only. Still, with the tournament set to begin less than two weeks from now, the fact that NBC Sports has decided to show these games is a win-win for soccer fans in the US.
The USWNT games that will be shown in English-language are:
USA vs. Costa Rica, February 10, 8:30pm ET (NBC Sports Live Extra)
USA vs. Mexico, February 13, 9:30pm ET (NBC Sports Live Extra; shown on delay on NBCSN at 4pm ET)
USA vs. Puerto Rico, February 15, 9:30pm ET (NBCSN and NBC Sports Live Extra)
TBD vs. TBD (semi-final), February 19, 5:30pm or 8:30pm ET (NBC Sports Live Extra)
TBD vs. TBD (final), February 21, 5pm ET (NBC Sports Live Extra; shown on delay on NBCSN at 11pm ET)
The winner of the semi-final games will qualify for the Rio Olympics.
For the Spanish-language audience, the women’s soccer qualifiers will be shown on NBCDeportes.com.
