About 3,000 athletes from more than 90 countries are competing, including severalfromOregon.
Zoom in: The ceremony will air this morning with live coverage starting at 11am on NBC and Peacock.
The ceremony is expected to last about three hours and takes place at San Siro Stadium in Milan.
NBC will also air a primetime replay later tonight.
Zoom out: Television coverage will be on USA Network, CNBC and other NBCUniversal cable channels, but Peacock, NBC's subscription streaming service, will stream every Olympic event live, including multiview and highlight features.
Yes, but: Given the time difference between Portland and Milan, many medal events will air live overnight or early in the morning.
Weekend mornings and weekday afternoons will feature the most live action, while primetime coverage will recap the day's biggest moments.
