Tonight is the premiere of the Spartan Ultimate Team Challenge with six new teams every episode, competing in different obstacles in hopes of winning $250,000. The teams are made up of friends, family, co-workers, you name it. The show airs tonight at 10 p.m. ET for its premiere on NBC. If you’d like to watch the show online tonight and throughout the season, we have all the details for you on how to make it happen.
Read on below for instructions on how to live-stream the show on the web or with an app in order to watch it online.
Note: There is no legal option to stream NBC live TV without logging in via a cable or satellite pay-tv subscription, but there is a free 45-minute preview. For extended viewing, cord cutters are out of luck unless they use a friend’s login info.
Watch Spartan Ultimate Team Challenge Live Stream Online
Click here for the NBC stream. If it’s your first time streaming at nbc.com/live, you’ll get a free 45-minute preview before you’re forced to “verify” using a cable login to continue watching. When you click “Verify Now,” you’ll be prompted to click on the tile of your pay-tv provider (Infinity, Fios, DirectTV, etc.) and be directed to a sign-in page, where you must enter a valid user ID and password. You must have access to a cable or satellite subscription that includes NBC programming.
If you have trouble logging in, NBC has an “FAQ” contact form here, where you can submit a “description of your issue.”
Watch Spartan Ultimate Team Challenge Live Stream With an App on Smartphone, Tablet or Streaming Device (Select Markets)
In several major markets, you can access NBC live TV via the NBC app, which is available to download in the App Store and Google Play. (NBC also has apps for Apple TV, Amazon Fire, Roku and Xbox One.)
Again, you’ll need a pay-tv subscription login to access the stream. The live broadcast of your local NBC affiliate is available on the app — but only in the following markets, where the station is owned by NBC: New York (WNBC), Los Angeles (KNBC), San Diego (KNSD), San Francisco / Bay Area (KNTV), Connecticut (WVIT), Miami (WTVJ), Chicago (WMAQ-TV), Philadelphia (WCAU), Washington D.C. (WRC-TV) and Dallas (KXAS-TV).
After launching the app, open the menu and click on the “LIVE” tile in the top left portion of the screen. You’ll have to “enable location services” (find the NBC app under your phone’s Settings, click on it and then click on Location) so the app can see where you are and whether your local NBC station is eligible for streaming.
If it’s your first time using the app, you’ll get a free 45-minute preview before you’re forced to “verify” using a cable login to continue watching. When you click “Verify Now,” you’ll be prompted to click on the tile of your pay-tv provider (Infinity, Fios, DirectTV, etc.) and be directed to a sign-in page, where you must enter a valid user ID and password. You must have access to a cable or satellite subscription that includes NBC programming.
