At the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, biathlon events will be held at the National Biathlon Center in the Zhangjiakou competition zone (Hualindong Ski Resort). Biathlon events begin Saturday, February 5 and will conclude Saturday, February 19.

There will be 33 medals available in 11 total events (five each for men and women and one mixed team event). Team USA is in the hunt for its first-ever Olympic biathlon medal. (Learn more about the eight biathlon competitors on Team USA here.)

To watch the biathlon events, a few options are available. Biathlon events will be broadcast via NBC's Peacock streaming service and watching that way, you can catch every event and medal ceremony live, but you will have to subscribe to the premium tier for $4.99 per month. Additionally, events will be televised on NBC and the USA network, and in a few cases will be broadcast live. Due to the substantial time zone difference between China and the United States, several biathlon events will re-air during the day on the USA network and NBC.

Here are all the Beijing 2022 biathlon events and what time to catch them live (all times EST).
