The Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 are set to kick off on July 23 without spectators in the stands, but that won't stop fans from tuning in at home to root for Team USA. Try not to fret if you aren't able to watch from home—plenty of local sports bars and restaurants will be showing the Games, so you'll never have to miss your favorite events.
Ready to grab a pint and watch some world-class displays of athleticism? We've gathered a list of places where you can watch the Games—just remember to call ahead to make sure they're showing the event of your choice, especially if it's one of the more obscure sports (we're looking at you, fencing and artistic swimming fans).
