Rio 2016 BBC TV coverage
BBC1 and BBC4 will be devoted solely to Olympic coverage every day from 1pm through to around 3am in the morning. Coverage will only switch to BBC2 during the news.
Like London 2012, the BBC will also have up to 24 live channels available to watch via the BBC Sport website and the BBC Red Button.
This year, the four hour time difference means many gold medal events will not air on UK TV until the small hours. BBC1 morning show BBC Breakfast will become a full Olympic catch-up show, while BBC2 will replay the previous night's coverage in full every morning.
The BBC has also teamed up with YouTube to show full online Olympic highlights via the BBC Sport YouTube channel.
BBC iPlayer meanwhile will show the 'Olympic Playlist', a daily Rio 2016 highlights package featuring the best late-night action.
