The entire 2026 Olympia livestream is free through OlympiaTV after registration. The official production covers all 12 professional divisions, Mr. Olympia prejudging and finals, the Amateur Olympia, athlete check-ins, Thursday’s press conference, the Friday and Saturday pre-shows, and Sunday’s champions seminar.
The main Olympia weekend runs September 24-27 in Las Vegas, with the Amateur Olympia and pro check-ins expanding the online schedule to September 22-27. This guide lists every announced stream, the correct start times in four time zones, the divisions shown in each session, compatible devices, and the simplest way to get the feed onto a television.
2026 Mr. Olympia Livestream: The Essential Details
- Official streaming service: OlympiaTV at OlympiaProductions.com
- Price: Free; registration is required
- Main competition dates: Friday, September 25 and Saturday, September 26, 2026
- Mr. Olympia prejudging: Friday during the 6 p.m. Pacific finals session
- Mr. Olympia finals: Saturday at 7 p.m. Pacific
- Venues: Las Vegas Convention Center for daytime prejudging; Orleans Arena for Friday and Saturday finals
- Cable subscription: Not required
This is a major change from the 2023 Olympia viewing package, which was sold as a pay-per-view. Do not buy an old replay package or rely on old pricing pages to watch the 2026 competition. The current 2026 event page is labeled “Free Livestream.”
How to Register and Start Watching
- Open OlympiaProductions.com and select the 2026 Olympia Free Livestream page.
- Choose the registration option and create an OlympiaTV account. Use an email address you can access because the platform may require account confirmation.
- Sign in before the session you want to watch. No television-provider login and no monthly subscription are required.
- Open the individual tile for that session. OlympiaTV separates morning prejudging, expo coverage, evening finals, check-ins, and the seminar instead of presenting the week as one continuous video.
- For Friday and Saturday evening coverage, join 30 minutes before the listed finals time to see the official pre-show.
The official page also provides a Portuguese-language registration route. Several individual session listings are marked English only, however, so viewers should read the language label on the tile they select.

What Is Shown Friday?
Friday morning prejudging starts at 9:30 a.m. Pacific from the South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center. The stream covers 212 Olympia, Classic Physique Olympia, Figure Olympia, Women’s Physique Olympia, Ms. Olympia, and Wellness Olympia.
The evening production moves to the Orleans Arena. The pre-show starts at 5:30 p.m. Pacific, followed by the 6 p.m. finals for Figure, Women’s Physique, Wellness, 212, Ms. Olympia, and Classic Physique. The crucial viewing detail is that Mr. Olympia prejudging is part of this Friday evening stream, not the Friday morning prejudging block.
What Is Shown Saturday?
Saturday morning prejudging begins at 9:30 a.m. Pacific from the expo. It includes Men’s Physique, Fitness, and Bikini, plus both prejudging and finals for Wheelchair Olympia and Fit Model Olympia.
The Saturday finals pre-show starts at 6:30 p.m. Pacific. The main session begins at 7 p.m. with the Fitness, Men’s Physique, and Bikini finals before the Mr. Olympia title is decided. OlympiaTV identifies Derek Lunsford as the reigning champion and lists former winner Samson Dauda, Andrew Jacked, and Nick Walker among the leading challengers.
Readers who need a quick explanation of how the classes differ can use MiddleEasy’s guide to the major Mr. Olympia and bodybuilding divisions before the broadcast begins.
The Free Stream Includes More Than the Pro Finals
OlympiaTV says its 2026 production includes complete prejudging and finals coverage for all 12 professional divisions. It also carries the two-day Amateur Olympia, behind-the-scenes professional check-ins, Thursday’s press conference, expo programming, the Friday and Saturday pre-shows, and Sunday’s champions seminar.
The Amateur women’s sessions took place Tuesday, September 22, followed by the men’s competition Wednesday. The pro check-in stream is scheduled for Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. Pacific and includes height or weight checks, final instructions, and interviews. The press conference follows Thursday at noon Pacific from the Pearl Theater at Palms Casino Resort.
Compatible TVs, Phones, Tablets, and Browsers
The official OlympiaTV device list includes the following options:
- Television apps: Apple TV fourth generation or newer; Roku third generation or newer, with Roku 4 or newer listed for 4K; first-generation or newer Android TV; and first-generation or newer Amazon Fire TV.
- Casting: Chromecast is supported through the platform’s casting option.
- Apple mobile devices: iOS 12 or later on iPhone 5 or newer, iPad 4 or newer, and iPad Mini 2 or newer.
- Android mobile devices: Android 5.0 or later through the OlympiaTV app.
- Computer browsers: Microsoft Edge 88 or later, Safari 13 or later, Firefox 78 or later, and Chrome 71 or later.
For the most reliable television setup, install the OlympiaTV app and sign in before Friday. If an app is unavailable on a particular television, open the stream on a supported phone, tablet, or computer and use Chromecast or a wired HDMI connection. A 4K-capable device does not guarantee that every live session will be delivered in 4K; OlympiaTV says 4K is available only where supported.
What to Do if the Olympia Stream Does Not Load
- Confirm that you are signed into the same account used for free registration.
- Return to the 2026 Olympia event page and choose the specific live tile for the current session.
- Refresh the page after the pre-show start time. Some tiles remain marked off air until the production opens the feed.
- Update the OlympiaTV app or switch to one of the supported browsers listed above.
- If a television app fails, test the stream in a browser to separate an account problem from an app problem.
- Use the Help option on OlympiaProductions.com for registration, login, or platform support.
Can You Watch the 2026 Olympia After It Ends?
The event page uses separate video tiles for each session, and completed Amateur Olympia streams already appear with recorded durations. Olympia Productions also sells replays of the 2020-2025 events. However, the current 2026 page does not state how long every free 2026 replay will remain accessible after the weekend, so viewers should not assume permanent on-demand availability.
Quick Answers Before the Main Event
Do you need to pay or enter a card?
OlympiaTV labels the 2026 production a free livestream and says to register before watching. It does not advertise a 2026 pay-per-view charge or monthly fee on the event page. Viewers should use the current 2026 registration route, not one of the separate purchase links for older Olympia replays.
Which stream carries Mr. Olympia prejudging?
Select Friday Finals, scheduled for 6 p.m. Pacific after the 5:30 p.m. pre-show. Mr. Olympia prejudging is included after the six Friday division finals; it is not part of the Friday morning tile.
Which stream carries the Mr. Olympia winner?
Select Saturday Finals. The pre-show begins at 6:30 p.m. Pacific and the arena session starts at 7 p.m. Fitness, Men’s Physique, and Bikini finals share that production before the Men’s Open title is decided.
Watching the 2026 Olympia in Person
Fans attending in Las Vegas need separate tickets; free livestream registration does not provide venue admission. Friday and Saturday daytime prejudging takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center’s South Hall. Friday and Saturday evening finals are held at Orleans Arena. Most other official activities, including the press conference and champions seminar, take place at Palms Casino Resort.
The organizer lists the main Olympia weekend as September 24-27, with the pro competition on September 25-26. The official schedule can change, so registered viewers should recheck the session tiles shortly before airtime. International viewers should also note the next-day date change for the late sessions: Friday’s arena stream lands early Saturday in Europe, and Saturday’s Mr. Olympia finals land early Sunday.
The two times that matter most are Friday at 6 p.m. Pacific for Mr. Olympia prejudging and Saturday at 7 p.m. Pacific for the Mr. Olympia finals. Opening the event page at the pre-show time gives viewers a 30-minute buffer to confirm their login, select the correct feed, and resolve any device problem before the judging begins.
