Note: The last update for this post was on July 21st. Please see a newer post for more complete listings, including official streaming links. Any changes/corrections to NBC’s schedule will only be made on that newer post.]
[Updated/Rewritten: An earlier version of this post was only based on the “TV Schedule By Sport” tab on NBCOlympics.com TV schedule, which is not as detailed as the per channel and grid listings on the “TV Schedule By Day/Time” tab. ]
In early July, NBC Sports posted their preliminary Olympics coverage schedule up at NBCOlympics.com. Regarding coverage of the women’s soccer tournament on MSNBC and NBC Sports Network (NBCSN), a complete list of the specific matches that will be broadcasted live and on tape-delay for both the group stage and the knock-out stage is now known. In addition, the full schedule for NBC’s specialty Olympic Soccer Channel is also available.

KEY POINTS
All USWNT matches will be shown live on NBCSN.
For the first two match days, all twelve matches will be televised on either MSNBC or NBCSN, with ten of those matches being live. The only tape-delayed matches for those two days will be Japan vs. Canada* and Sweden vs. South Africa, both on July 25th. (*This match was accidentally left out in an earlier version of this post.)
On the final group match day, only the Group G matches will be shown live and in their entirety on NBCSN or MSNBC. Those two matches are USA vs. North Korea (NBCSN) and France vs. Colombia (MSNBC). There is a one-hour block for Great Britain vs. Brazil on NBCSN from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. EDT, which would seem to indicate that the match would be joined in progress as the kick-off time is scheduled for 2:45 p.m. EDT.
All knock-out matches will be televised on NBCSN. For the quarterfinals and semifinals, non-soccer events are sandwiched in between those matches. It remains to be seen whether those other events will be pre-empted if one of those matches runs past its timeslot due to extra-time.
Online Options: All matches should be streamed live via NBCOlympics.com. On-demand replays should also be available.
And, if you missed this earlier: NBC recently announced that four alumni of the USWNT will be serving as analysts at the Olympics: Brandi Chastain, Kate Markgraf, Cat Whitehill, and Angela Hucles.
