The Olympics have always been wonderful events that draw together fans of dozens of sports in the search for the best athletes in the world. Thankfully, you can also watch Olympic Channel without cable if you're planning on cutting the cord.

The Olympic Channel has only been around for a couple of years as they try to keep the interest in the Olympic Games high year-round, not just when the events take place, regardless if we're talking about the Summer or the Winter editions.

If you want to keep watching the channel once you've quit cable, you can still do that with the help of Live TV Streaming platforms, which shouldn't be too hard, especially since six of them feature the Olympic Channel. Let's find out which.
