How to activate NBC Sports on Apple TV, Smart TV, Roku, Fire TV

The NBC Sports channel combines several sports channels into one location. That means you can get channels like NBC Sports Gold, The Olympic Channel, NBC Golf, and more.

All these channels feature live streaming events, replays, and highlights from different sports and leagues across the globe.

But to watch them, you will have to subscribe to the service using a participating pay-tv provider. You will then have to visit nbcsports.com/activate to activate your device.

A participating pay-TV provider is a company you pay a subscription fee so that you can get television services.

Once you have the provider, it will be easier for you to activate the service by visiting the NBC sports activate page.
