There will be more than 2,500 hours of the Olympics broadcast over 15 days. Coverage will include Olympics news, boxing, basketball, football, gymnastics and weightlifting. SuperSport 12 will be a dedicated 24-hour Olympic news channel, which will be produced by the International Olympic Committee.

In addition, the Blitz channel will broadcast regular updates and direct viewers to the big events of the day.SuperSport 5 will be dedicated to hockey, handball, volleyball (beach and indoors), gymnastics and trampoline games, while SuperSport 7 will air boxing, weightlifting and judo events.
SuperSport will also have roving reporters in Rio, with Crystal Arnold, Carol Tshabalala, James Wokabi and Rui de Oliveira (Portuguese) reporting directly from various venues and the team village.

Multiple live feeds will be made available to SuperSport, which will then “cherry pick” the best content, much of it with a pan-African leaning, for the Olympic channels.

Every possible viewing platform will be accommodated, including live streaming via www.supersport.com and the SuperSport apps, as well as social platforms.
