For the next two weeks, Paris will be in front of the international lens as more than 10,000 Olympic athletes and seemingly countless fans converge on France to witness and revel in the first Summer Games held in front of crowds in eight years. That group will include the nearly 600 athletes competing for Team USA, many of whom are favorites for gold across the 329 events slated to be held. Here’s everything you need to know about how and who to watch during the Paris Olympic Games, which began with soccer, rugby, archery and handball even before Friday’s opening ceremony.
The games will end Sunday, Aug. 11, with the women’s basketball gold medal game slated to be the final event. The daily window for events at the Paris Olympics runs from roughly 3 a.
m. EDT until about 5 p.m.
(Paris is six hours ahead of New York). Linear networks USA, E!, CNBC, Golf Channel, Telemundo and Universo will have coverage every day, with all live coverage ending around 5 p.m.
“Paris Primetime” will air each night on NBC, usually at 7 p.m. or 8 p.
m., offering a recap of the day’s biggest events and moments. Though NBCUniversal networks will broadcast many live events, including viewer favorites such as gymnastics, swimming and track and field, a large portion of coverage will be exclusively on streaming platforms.
Peacock will broadcast every event live and will have replays and highlights on demand. Cable and satellite subscribers can log into NBCOlympics.com at no additional charge t.
