All events of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games are available to watch live in the U.S., whether through one of the cable networks, NBC or Peacock, which will stream every event of every sport live. There will be live coverage of the Paris action daily from 4 a.m. ET to 6 p.m. ET.

In primetime, starting from 8 p.m. ET (2 a.m. the next morning in Paris), NBC’s marquee broadcast will air live and concentrate on the biggest events of the day with its show “Primetime in Paris.” That block will have a storytelling lens with more in-depth coverage opportunities. Mike Tirico will host the show from Paris’ famed Trocadéro with the Eiffel Tower as a scenic backdrop.

The show will typically open with highlights from Team USA gold medal-winning performances and the last hour of the show will revolve around the highest-profile event of the night.

“Really, the consumer can find whatever they’re looking for live during the day,” NBC Olympics president and executive producer Molly Solomon told USA TODAY Sports in June. “And that’s the beauty of the European time zone.”
