How can I watch the 2024 Paris Olympics? 

The Opening Ceremony takes place July 26, and you’ll be able to watch it LIVE on NBC and Peacock. During the games themselves, NBC will air at least nine hours of coverage every day of some of the biggest events, including the finals of swimming, gymnastics, track and field, and more. During primetime hours, NBC will air a special Olympics showcase of the greatest moments, stories, and events from each day.  

Peacock will also stream all of NBC’s Olympics coverage as it airs, and so much more. Every event, every medal, and every moment will be streaming on Peacock. Not getting enough equestrian coverage on the traditional Olympics broadcasts? Navigate to the “Browse By Sport” section of the Peacock Olympics hub and you’ll get all the equestrian action you could ask for. That’s only the beginning though. 

Peacock will also have a fully interactive Olympics experience that will let you dictate how you watch the games. You’ll be able to build your own schedule of the events that matter to you most, stay up to date on medal standings, and catch key highlights so you never have to miss a moment. 

What interactive features will Peacock have for the 2024 Paris Olympics? 

Peacock will allow both casual and dedicated fans alike to choose exactly how they want to see the games. For continuous updates on everything happening on a particular day, fans can watch Gold Zone. Gold Zone will provide LIVE whip-around coverage of every event happening at a given time. During Gold Zone though, on-screen prompts will appear giving fans the option to switch to LIVE coverage of the event being featured or stick with Gold Zone to keep jumping around between multiple events.  

Fans will also be able to build their own Interactive Schedule to make sure they see the events they care about most from the moment they begin. You’ll be able to follow individual star athletes throughout the games and keep up to date on big moments with Key Plays for basketball, golf, and soccer events. The way you watch the 2024 Paris Olympics is totally up to you. 

Can I watch multiple events at once? 

Yes! Because multiple events will take place simultaneously at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Peacock will offer two different multi-view experiences. Get an enhanced four-screen experience with Peacock Discovery Multiview. It will direct you to the most important events, as well as provide information about what’s at stake in each one. Peacock will also offer a more traditional multi-view for the biggest sports at the 2024 Paris Olympics, so you can watch multiple games at once for sports like soccer, track and field, and wrestling. Both views will allow you to pick which game has audio, and switch to full screen if one game becomes more interesting to you. The way you watch the 2024 Paris Olympics is totally up to you.

Can I watch events after they've happened?

With the games happening in Paris, there is a bit of a time difference between Paris and where you’ll probably be watching from. Peacock will offer full-event replays, curated video clips, virtual channels, exclusive Original programming and more. No matter when you’re able to watch, you can still stream every moment and every medal.

Can I stream any of the events in Spanish?

Much of the 2024 Paris Olympics will also be available en Español with extensive coverage by Telemundo. In addition to the most popular Olympics events, Telemundo will be the home of Spanish coverage of the men’s and women’s soccer tournaments.
