The 2024 Summer Olympics gave us Simone Biles’ epic final Olympic run, Katie Ledecky once again absolutely dominating in the pool, Pommel Horse Ken, countless records broken and so many meme-worthy moments (shout out to the chocolate muffin man!). But all great things must come to an end, and this Sunday, Aug. 11, the 2024 Paris Olympics will do just that. The Olympics Closing Ceremony will start at 3 p.m. ET on Sunday, airing on NBC and streaming live on Peacock (which you’re probably more than familiar with after three weeks of watching Olympic sports).
Much like the Opening Ceremony, the Olympics’ grand finale will feature performances from dancers, acrobats, singers and other artists. Tom Cruise will also make an appearance performing a daring stunt to celebrate the handoff of the Olympic flag from Paris to Los Angeles (the 2028 Olympics host). We’ll also get to see the Olympic medalists recognized for their achievements and the extinguishing of the Olympic flame.
