(BPT) - What kind of fan of the Olympics are you? Love following specific sports, cheering favorite athletes, or just love taking in the spectacle and ambience of the host country? No matter what you love to watch, Xfinity has got you covered this year with a host of new features and functionality on X1 that will make your viewing experience unforgettable.

How to watch the Olympics

For the Paris Olympics, NBCUniversal will be giving you access to more live action and ways to watch than ever before. 5,000 hours of live coverage, 39 sports, 329 medal events…all spread across nine different networks, plus streaming on Peacock.

So how do you find what you want to watch among all these choices? Thankfully, Xfinity X1 makes it super easy. Just say "Olympics" into your voice remote and be taken to a comprehensive destination that brings together everything airing across NBC's broadcast and cable networks and streaming on Peacock into one place.

The destination is also packed with features and functionality that enable you to enjoy the Games on your terms, no matter what type of viewer you are. Here's how.

Know your faves? Customize your viewing

In just a few clicks, you can select your favorite sports and create a customized Olympics hub so you can effortlessly find the live coverage you care about most. You'll also get a personalized playlist of highlights, updated in real-time as all the action from your selected sports unfolds in Paris. Or opt to get notifications to your mobile device, so you never miss a moment, even when on the go.

Olympics superfan? Never miss a minute with the interactive schedule

X1's interactive daily schedule will give you a comprehensive guide to everything happening live at a given time … no matter where it's airing. You can scan through everything, or filter by a specific sport. It will even give you a glimpse into upcoming live events, and you can set reminders or schedule DVR recordings so you won't miss a moment.

Need the best possible viewing experience? Enhanced 4K makes you feel like you're sitting in the stands

With X1, you can enjoy USA Network's coverage of the Olympic Games in a 4K viewing experience you can't get anywhere else. It's made possible by combining the latest and greatest video, audio and network technology that together delivers the most crystal-clear pictures, vivid colors and immersive audio…as close to live as you can get.

Busy, but want to stay in the know? You'll love catch-up highlights

While you wish you could take a vacay just to watch the Games, you'll have the next best thing with Catch-up Highlights on X1. You'll be able to quickly jump to top moments in recorded primetime and daytime Olympic coverage on NBC, as well as basketball, soccer and golf.

Cut the cord? No problem — Peacock has you covered!

Peacock will be the U.S. streaming home of the Olympic Games this year. You'll be able to stream every sport and event, including all 329 medal events, plus full-event replays, original programming and more, all accessible within one curated destination. Additionally, Peacock is introducing new interactive features to help you navigate all the action of the Games and make the most of your viewing experience:

  • Peacock Discovery Multiview. An industry-first four-view experience, Discovery Multiview will you navigate to the most important events, with real-time on-screen descriptions from NBCU's Olympic experts informing you about what is at stake, such as a medal event, an elimination risk or a first-time Olympian.
  • Gold Zone. Streaming daily on Peacock starting July 27, Gold Zone will offer whip-around coverage of the Games, presenting you with the best and most compelling moments happening at any time. Plus, leveraging new technology called Peacock Live Actions, if you see an event of interest while watching Gold Zone, you can quickly jump into that live feed instead of staying with the Gold Zone coverage.
  • Your Daily Olympic Recap on Peacock. Harnessing the power of AI, this new feature lets you build a customized playlist featuring highlights of the events and sports you care about most. Each compilation will be narrated by an AI re-creation of award-winning announcer Al Michaels' voice.
