live coverage
Happening right now
Live coverage is the broadcasting or reporting of events as they happen, without delay or editing.
News networks provide live coverage of breaking stories, sports channels broadcast games in real time, and streaming platforms carry live coverage of concerts or political events.
The term emphasizes immediacy and authenticity—viewers see events unfold rather than watching a packaged summary afterward.
We watched live coverage of the election results through the night.
