For the first time since 2012, the Summer Olympic Games are being held in Europe. The multi-sport event commences on July 26th and runs until August 11th.

Norway will boast several stars at the event in Paris, who should have a good chance of landing on the podium in their respective disciplines.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Karsten Warholm should be considered favourites in their respective events when it comes to the track, while tennis star Casper Ruud could also be in with the chance of a medal.

Tuning into the Olympic games themselves may be a bit less straightforward, however, as they will be broadcast on three different services.

Firstly, the steaming service Max will broadcast all events. The streaming service will require a monthly subscription, however given the games last less than a month you will only need to pay for one month.

The broadcasts on Max will be available via TV Norge, which is now integrated into Max as Discovery+ packages are no longer available in Norway.

Meanwhile, the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) has entered into an agreement that allows it to broadcast athletics on NRK 1, NRK 2, and online with NRK TV. These events will, therefore, be free-to-air. The opening and closing ceremonies of the Paris Olympics will also be broadcast on NRK.

Streaming package costs

Packages to stream the Olympic games begin at 89 kroner on Max. This basic package comes with advertisements but allows full HD streaming of all events and streaming on up to two devices simultaneously.

The cheapest package without ads costs 129 kroner per month and allows downloads.

The most expensive package, at 159 kroner per month, allows streaming of up to four devices, includes TV Norge and other channels, streams in 4K ultra high definition with Dolby Atmos Sound, and allows more downloads than the standard package.

The events on NRK are free-to-air, meaning that you will not need to pay to tune in.

The Paralympics 

Among Norway’s medal hopes for the Paralympics are Birgit Skarstein and Salum Kashafali, the games will start on August 28th and run until September 8th. Tuning into these games will be easier as NRK 1 and NRK TV will stream the games, making them free to air.
