Amazon Fire TV Gives Users Access to The Olympic Channel

Expanding its worldwide distribution further, the Olympic Channel is now available on Amazon Fire TV. Olympic Channel content available on the new app includes a 24/7 live stream, documentaries, memorable moments, and more than 400 episodes from original series in the Olympic Channel library.

Offering access to Olympic sports and athletes all year round, the subscription-free Olympic Channel OTT service launched worldwide following the Olympic Games Rio 2016. Through comprehensive coverage, original programming, never-before-seen footage, and exclusive interviews, the Olympic Channel takes viewers outside the stadium, behind the scenes and inside the minds of athletes.

“The launch of the Olympic Channel on Amazon Fire TV demonstrates our commitment to expanding our distribution to wherever our viewers are watching content,” says Mark Parkman, General Manager of the IOC’s global Olympic Channel. “Through distribution on connected TV devices and streaming media players, fans have even more options to discover, engage and be inspired by their favorite sports and athletes.”

The new Olympic Channel app for Amazon Fire TV launches in conjunction with the one-year anniversary of the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 and features a collection of programming to celebrate the event. Rewind: PyeongChang 2018 features top moments from the Games including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies, gold medal performances, documentaries, and original series about the athletes who competed in last year’s Winter Games.

Additional Olympic Channel content available on Amazon Fire TV includes:

  • Five Rings Films: The Olympic Channel’s signature sports documentary series is produced by Hollywood legend Frank Marshall and Mandalay Sports Media. Directed by some of the biggest names in film from around the world, the feature-length films include The Nagano Tapes, which tells the inspiring underdog story of the Czech Republic’s stunning gold medal win in men’s ice hockey in 1998; The People’s Fighter’s, which examines Cuba’s boxing culture highlighting the career of the legendary Teofilo Stevenson; and The Golden Generation which spotlights the Argentine Men’s National Team’s historic run to claim gold at the Athens 2004 Olympic Basketball Tournament.
