After a long and tumultuous road, the 2020 Mr. Olympia is nearly upon us. This is all the information you need to know how to watch all of the bodybuilding action from Orlando, Florida.
Going down December 17th-20th, this year’s Olympia is taking place way later on the calendar than normal. The current state of the world put a pause to bodybuilding contests, which left new Olympia owner Jake Wood no choice but to move the event to a later date from it’s typical September date. Then as if this were not already drastic enough, with only a few weeks to go until the event, they had to scramble to move the entire competition across the country, as restrictions would make them go from Las Vegas to Orlando, Florida.
In spite of all of these setbacks and roadblocks, the 2020 Mr. Olympia is right around the corner. With that in mind, fans have been wondering how they can watch the action if they are unable to make it down to Orlando. In previous years the contest would be streamed for free on YouTube, but this year the producers have decided to try something different: a pay-per-view format.
Watch The 2020 Mr. Olympia LIVE
To be clear, there will still be some free content that fans can watch from the 2020 Mr. Olympic, but it will be severely limited. If you would like to watch all of the bodybuilding content over the 4-day competition, there will be a PPV stream that one can purchase through the streaming service called “Olympia TV,” which can be used on a variety of different devices. Aside from the free stream, there are two different PPV packages to choose from, each of which provide a different level of coverage of the event.
