The Olympics are coming and Foxtel is pledging the most extensive coverage ever seen in Australia.

There will be 8 dedicated channels running 24 hours a day, broadcasting 26 sports over 3,200 hours, of which 1,100 are live. Viewers can watch every single Gold Medal event live in High Definition and Standard Definition.

To watch the sports you want, Foxtel has released an online TV guide that breaks down coverage hour by hour. This TV guide also allows viewers to filter by channel, day, sport and gold medal event.

Foxtel sports subscribers with iQ or iQHD will have the ability to record their favourite events remotely via the online TV guide, ensuring they don’t miss any of the action.
 
Foxtel’s broadcast of the London 2012 Olympic Games commences on Wednesday, July 25 at 7.00pm (AEST) with a welcome show, and will be followed by live coverage of the Football preliminaries later that night.
