Broadcasting Broadcast rights to the 2022 Winter Olympics in some countries were already sold as part of long - term broadcast rights deals. In France and the United Kingdom, the 2022 Winter Olympics will be the first where Eurosport will be the main rightsholder ; the BBC will sub-license a limited amount of coverage on free - to - air television, as part of a deal that saw the BBC sell the pay - TV rights to the 2018 and 2020 Games to Eurosport. Armenia -- APMTV Asia -- Dentsu ( Rights to be sold to local broadcasters ) Brazil -- Grupo Globo Canada -- CBC / Radio - Canada, TSN, RDS China -- CCTV Europe -- Discovery Communications, Eurosport ( free - to - air rights to be sold to local broadcasters ) Germany -- ARD, ZDF Hungary -- MTVA Japan -- Japan Consortium Kosovo -- RTK Latin America -- América Móvil MENA -- beIN Sports New Zealand -- Sky Television North Korea -- SBS Oceania -- Sky Television South Africa -- SABC, SuperSport South Korea -- SBS Sub-Saharan Africa -- Econet Media, SuperSport United States -- NBC United Kingdom -- Eurosport, BBC Concerns and controversies Main article : Concerns and controversies at the 2022 Winter Olympics Several cities withdrew their applications during the bidding process, citing the high costs or the lack of local support to host the 2022 games, leaving Almaty and Beijing as the only candidate cities by 1 October 2014. The decision to bid for the Olympics was controversial in China ( and outside ) because Beijing itself, and especially some of the proposed outdoor venues, do not have reliable snowfall in winter for snow sports. Concerns have been raised that snow may need to be transported to the venues at great cost and with uncertain environmental consequences. The environmental impact of hosting the games near Beijing has been questioned. Some of the proposed venues will be adjacent to the Beijing Songshan National Nature Reserve and part of the same mountain system, and the environmental impact on the nature reserve of construction, and artificially covering parts of the mountain with snow, is uncertain. The Chinese government responded to these concerns by expanding the adjacent Beijing Songshan National Nature Reserve by 31 % of its original size.
