  • Up to 24 live HD video streams deliver every single moment of Rio 2016
  • Personalise BBC Sport’s digital Olympics service with the BBC Sport website and app

Here's the scheduling details, which you can see along with each sports' coverage team in full here:

Quote:
With 550 hours of network coverage across 17 days of world-class sporting action, the BBC brings unparalleled access of Rio 2016 to its television audiences.
Building on the huge success of London 2012, the BBC will have an elite team of former Great Britain Olympic athletes out in Rio.

Unparalleled expertise and knowledge will come from sporting legends such as Sir Chris Hoy, Denise Lewis, Beth Tweddle, Sir Steve Redgrave, Rebecca Adlington and Sir Clive Woodward, who will give their own unique insight into the key sporting moments, bringing audiences closer to all the action.

Making his BBC debut, Olympic and IBF world heavyweight boxing champion Anthony Joshua will also be out in Rio sharing with viewers his thoughts and insight on the medal hopefuls in the ring.

The BBC’s live coverage of the Games begins with the Opening Ceremony on BBC One on Friday 5 August, with Hazel Irvine and Andrew Cotter providing commentary from the Maracană Stadium as the formalities get underway.

The following afternoon, Hazel kicks off BBC One’s live daily coverage, which continues throughout the Games from 1pm until 4am. Clare Balding and Mark Chapman will guide viewers through the live action each day from 7pm-midnight, with Jason Mohammad taking over from midnight until 4am.

Ore Oduba will welcome viewers to BBC Four daily between 1-7pm, while Dan Walker will anchor the channel from 7pm until the end of the day’s action.

Bringing viewers right to the centre of the drama, Gabby Logan will be in position at the Olympics Park to present Athletics, while Clare Balding will be trackside at the Velodrome for Cycling. From the Aquatics Centre, Helen Skelton fronts Swimming with Matt Baker at the Olympics Arena for Gymnastics and John Inverdale live at the Lagoa Stadium for the Rowing.

The live sporting action concludes on 21 August, when Hazel and Andrew will again oversee proceedings for BBC One’s coverage of the closing ceremony as the celebrations come to an end and Rio’s Olympic flame is extinguished.

BBC Sport and BBC News will join forces throughout the Games to bring a special edition of BBC Breakfast. The famous sofa will move home and come live from the centre of BBC Sport’s hub to bring viewers all the highlights and extended Games coverage every day from 6am. This is followed by a replay programme with all the best bits on BBC Two from 9.15am to 1pm.

Quote:
The build up to Rio 2016 kicks off with the much-anticipated Olympics Games marketing campaign. This year, the trail and title sequence will be part of an animated campaign which will transpose the human world of sport to the animal world. The animation will show a world of stunning forest stadiums, inspired by Rio’s Tijuca Forest, while the skills and strength of the athletes will be brought to life by Brazilian animals. The trail makes its TV debut on 10 July during the Euro 2016 final on BBC One.
