Beijing 2022 officially gets underway Friday with opening ceremony

The Olympic Winter Games are set to officially get underway Friday with an opening ceremony that follows less than six months after the Tokyo Olympic Games — which were delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic — closed. 

The ceremony will begin at 8 p.m. local time (7 a.m. ET), and there are many ways to watch whether you're at home, at work or on the go.

Viewers can watch the show beginning at 6:30 a.m. ET via the live stream above, or the special live streams below, or on CBCSports.ca, the CBC Sports app and CBC Gem.
