[title]With the Paris Olympics right around the corner, the city’s preparations are well underway. But if you’re one of the not-so-lucky ones who didn’t succeed in getting tickets, you needn’t worry. There are plenty of places to catch the greatest show on earth, whether you’re at a screening in the French capital or watching the spectacle from afar. So, here is a roundup of all the best places to catch the 2024 Olympic Games on TV, radio, or via live stream.
How to watch the Paris 2024 Olympics on TV
For those of us tuning in to the Games in France, France Télévision, the national broadcaster, is the channel to hop to.
If you’re in the UK and have a TV licence, the BBC is the place to go for all Olympic coverage, and a team of legendary athletes will be holding panels on the events.
For US watchers, NBC is set to air at least nine hours of coverage a day, as well as a three-hour primetime show of all the day’s highlights.
How to watch the summer games online
The Olympics will have its own streaming channel, where you can tune in to watch both live and past events for free. In France, the national broadcaster’s digital platform france.tv will be showing the games, and in the UK, the iPlayer and the BBC website will be streaming live and catch-up coverage.
Services like Eurosport, TNT Sports, Peacock and Discovery+ will also be showing a number of events, but those require a subscription.
