NBC rebroadcast the event at 7:30 p.m. ET (4:30 p.m. PT) Friday, but that's been and gone. Thankfully, NBC's Peacock streaming service also has a page for the opening ceremony, noting it will be streamable the day after it airs.
In addition the Opening Ceremony and the replay will also stream in 4K HDR on two services, FuboTV and YouTube TV. See below for details.

To watch in 4K HDR you'll need to subscribe to be signed up for the company's new 4K option that costs an extra $20 per month on top of the $65 regular monthly rate -- although there's a 30-day free trial that's long enough to last through the entire Olympics. The 4K feed isn't available in every market however; here's the full list.
