As expected, the Paris Olympics has already started attracting tens of millions of viewers across the globe as the Olympic Flame finally arrived in France’s capital. Here’s how you can catch all the action from the comforts of your own home.

Held once every four years and taking place in one of Europe’s most longstanding cultural hubs, the 33rd iteration of the Olympic Games has seen efforts from Paris city officials to turn the French capital into a contemporary epicentre where athleticism and community intersect.

How to watch the Paris Olympics live from Malaysia

In Malaysia’s case, 26 athletes are a part of the contingent to compete in 11 different sporting events at the Paris Olympics. This marks our country’s 17th appearance at the Summer Olympic Games since our debut as Malaya at the 1956 Melbourne Games almost 70 years ago.

If you’re looking forward to tuning into all of the sporting action from across the 19-day itinerary, we have you covered with a guide on how you can watch the Paris Olympics from the comfort of your own home.

The easiest and most convenient way to do so would be to tune into national broadcaster RTM’s official live broadcasts of the landmark event on its dedicated sports channel, Okey, which can be accessed on RTMKlik. A total of 578 hours of footage is expected to be available for free streaming for Malaysian viewers.

On the other hand, private broadcasting company Astro will also offer live telecasts of the Paris Olympics through a multi-platform system, chiefly aired on Astro Arena and Astro Arena 2 (channels 801 and 802). A series of dedicated channels will also cater to the many competitive sporting events happening concurrently on the Olympics schedule while offering analysis and breakdowns by industry pundits. Of course, this is assuming that you already have a paid subscription to Astro’s satellite television service.

UniFi broadband service subscribers who have access to its internet TV streaming services can also join in on the fun by watching the Games through the UniFi TV app, with the company serving as one of the latest official Olympics broadcasters. Expect a total of 17 channels to catch up to speed with the heart-racing action.
