Women’s soccer takes the field for the Olympics as the Games have their unofficial start on Wednesday, two days before the Opening Ceremony. Qualifying Round play takes place all over the UK and Great Britain will begin the whole enchilada with a game against New Zealand. MSNBC will air that game live at 10:30 a.m. and it will also be streamed live on NBCOlympics.com and the NBC Olympics Live Extra app.
And NBC Sports Network also airs its very first Olympic action an hour later with the USA taking on France in its defense of the gold medal won in Communist China.
We have the programming schedule for Day -2 of the Games of the XXX Summer Olympiad in London on the networks of NBCUniversal. I will be posting these press releases every day during the 16 Days of Glory.
