It’s the eternal Olympics dilemma: so many sports, so little time, especially when so many events are happening simultaneously. After all, they must fit over 300 medal events into 17 days.
So, what do you do when you can’t decide between gymnastics , swimming , and basketball ? Choose one and hope you don’t miss something noteworthy anywhere else.
What if we told you that those days are over, this year, Peacock has finally cracked the code, making it easier to watch live fees of everything at once.
Gold Zone is a live show on Peacock that, inspired by NFL RedZone, whips around the Olympics to show you all of the moments worth checking out live as they’re happening with a special emphasis on gold medal events.
Sometimes the show will present two events side-by-side, while other times, you’ll be able to watch as many as 10 live events at the same time, but Gold Zone typically focuses in on single events as they’re winding down with the broadcast play-by-play.
Gold Zone shows up to 10 events on the same screen; the one highlighted in yellow is the one currently playing event audio while the others are muted. Peacock
Longtime RedZone host Scott Hanson kicks off GoldZone coverage daily, with Andrew Siciliano, Matt Iseman, and Akbar Gbajabiamila joining in throughout the broadcast.
Gold Zone has gained attention with Olympic fans online, too, with one X user declaring that Peacock has had a “generational glow-up,” amid its Olympic coverage and another wondering how “[this] hasn’t been the standard for all sports for ages.”
I've taken a lot of drugs in my life but I've never taken a drug like Peacock's Olympic Gold Zone. What a rush. I'm deeply invested, simultaneously, in judo, fencing, gymnastics, and kayaking. #GoldZone

Gold Zone will be live on Peacock every day through July 10 from 7 a.m. ET to 5 p.m. ET.
How to watch Gold Zone on Peacock:
In Peacock , the Olympics have a place in the top navigation bar and in that section, you’ll be able to find everything live now, including GoldZone. GoldZone is also available to watch from the beginning and replay later on.
Peacock has two subscription plans: Peacock Premium with ads($7.99/month or $79.99/year) and Peacock Premium Plus without ads($13.99/month or $139.99/year).
Since the Olympics are live there are unavoidable ads that mirror the ones on cable, so we’d recommend sticking with the lower-priced Premium plan. You’ll only need one month of a subscription to watch the entire Olympics.
What is Peacock Multi-View?
In addition to Gold Zone, Peacock also has several multi-view streams depending on what events are live. The main multi-view stream broadcasts four top events at once, giving you the choice of which stream to listen to audio from. It also provides helpful notes about the events being streamed

A gymnastics multi-view live during the men’s team final had four streams for different events (high bar, pommel horse, etc.), while a tennis multi-view showed four tennis events live on different courts at the same time.
