Swimming, gymnastics and track and field fans can rejoice. For the first time in a European Olympics, those events will be televised live on network TV in the United States for next year's Summer Games in Paris.
FILE - A display of the Olympic rings is set up on Trocadero plaza that overlooks the Eiffel Tower, after the vote awarding the 2024 Games to the French capital, in Paris, Wednesday, Sept. 13, 2017. Online applications for a lottery draw where winners can buy tickets for next year’s Olympic Games in Paris has closed. Entries for the draw ended at 6 p.m. local time on Thursday, April 20, 2023 and applicants must wait until early next month to find out if they were successful.
NBCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service will have every sport and event live, including all 329 medal events, from July 26-Aug. 11, 2024. During the Tokyo Games two years ago, the only way to watch gymnastics finals live was on Peacock or other NBC Sports digital platforms. “I believe you take each Olympics separately. I love after you finish an Olympics, you get to start with a clean slate for the next one,” she said. “To bring the Olympics to the greatest number of people, how can we take advantage of the time zone? And so what we did when you look at six hours ahead, we’re like we can take over NBC in the daytime, and have live competition all day long, including the most popular sports, their finals in the afternoon on NBC.
Prime time host Mike Tirico also will be used during the morning and weekday coverage when there are marquee finals. “I think this is going to be a chance for fans to engage in ways that they haven’t really been able to before, because you’re going to have all of these content options,” said Peacock president Kelly Campbell. “We’re giving people this flexibility to watch and enhance the viewing experience.”
