The American network will air at least nine hours of daytime coverage each day throughout the event

NBC has announced that it will air extensive daytime broadcasts of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, with live track and field, swimming and gymnastics finals set to be among the network’s most popular offerings.

In addition to at least nine hours of live coverage per day, Peacock – a streaming service provided by NBCUniversal – will stream every sport live. As a result, Paris 2024 will break the record for Olympic broadcast hours on the NBC network.

On top of that, Peacock will show all 329 medal events in France, while viewers will be able to enjoy full event replays, highlights, video clips and other Olympic Games features.

Pete Bevacqua, Chairman of NBC Sports, said:

“The Paris Olympics are going to be the most binge-worthy event of 2024. Viewers will devour every moment of the Games for 17 straight nights on NBC in primetime where the stories of the day will be retold with special dramatic flair in front of the gathered American audience.” 

“For those wanting to watch the competition as it happens, Peacock will have everything live, creating the greatest single destination in sports media history.” 

“From the spectacular landmarks of Paris to the world’s greatest athletes performing in front of full stadiums and arenas for the first time in six years, viewers can expect one of the most extraordinary Olympics ever.” 

Paris 2024 is scheduled to get underway on July 26, and the official opening ceremony will be shown on NBC and Peacock. The sporting action kicks off the following day, with the closing ceremony slated for August 11. 

Next summer’s Games will see more than 10,000 athletes travel to the French capital to compete. With 329 events, 32 sports and 48 disciplines to look forward to, Paris 2024 is destined to dish up unrivalled sporting drama.
