A Look At The 2016 Olympics Basketball Schedule

America is bound for Rio with an amazing number of talented athletes and teams — and our basketball teams are among the strongest. The women's basketball team has won five consecutive gold medals at the Olympics and they have a strong chance of taking home their sixth in August. Although the men's team lost some of their strongest players, such as LeBron James and Stephen Curry, they are still the team to beat in Rio. A look at the 2016 Olympics basketball schedule from NBC shows that there are a lot of exciting games to look forward to.

Of course, not every game will air on NBC — due to the packed schedule at the Rio Olympics, programming will be broadcast across 11 TV networks including Bravo, CNBC, MSNBC, USA, and the Golf Channel. And, there's also the trusty option of watching the Olympics online or on NBC's new mobile sports app. The best way to keep track of the basketball games is by checking the schedule on NBC's website. It'll allow you to stream the games live and you can set up reminders to receive alerts when it's time for a basketball game you're dying to watch.

Here's a look at when each game will air, either on TV or through NBC's online streaming. The Olympics will be held from Aug. 5 through Aug. 21 — and there will be multiple basketball games every single day beginning on Aug. 6 and concluding with the medals ceremony on Aug. 21.
