Ready, set, partez! The Paris 2024 Summer Olympics are here, with the Opening Ceremony kicking off the 17-day event on Friday, July 26.
For the first time in history, the opening ceremony took place outside of a closed stadium, instead consisting of a moving parade along the city’s famed Seine River. With the river and Eiffel Tower as the ceremony’s backdrop, it was a flashy event, with Celine Dion performing and Lady Gaga taking the stage.
Want to watch the Summer Olympics on TV and online? There are many ways to tune into the 2024 Paris Olympics, which will broadcast live across NBC, USA Network, E!, CNBC and GOLF Channel. NBC will be the go-to place for all Olympic coverage, with NBC’s streaming service Peacock serving as the official U.S streaming home, streaming every sport and all 329 medal events.
If you don’t have cable, other ways to stream the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics live is through any live TV streamer that has NBC. DirecTV, Sling TV, Fubo TV and Hulu + Live TV all have access to NBC — and all currently offer free trials ahead of the Games.
All of the streaming services get you a live feed of NBC that you can watch from your phone, laptop, tablet or smart TV. Fubo’s free trial includes free DVR, so you can record your favorite events and watch a replay back on-demand. Use the combined free trials to livestream the Olympics online for free without cable.
Still, Peacock (currently offering a limited-time promo on their annual deals) is the best place to stream the Paris 2024 Summer Olympics. Not only will the NBC streamer stream every competition live but will also feature special exclusive coverage such as “Primetime in Paris,” hosted by Mike Tirico from Paris’ famed Trocadero; “Gold Zone,” which presents the “best and most compelling moments” throughout the day; and “Watch With Alex Cooper,” starring the podcast host and rotating special guests as they watch the games live.
You can sign up for a Peacock subscription for $7.99/month or save money signing up for their annual plan for $79.99 — this gives you 12 months Peacock for the price of 10 months.
