The 2024 Olympics are officially underway, and if you’re trying to catch as much of the games as you can over the next two weeks, there’s only one streaming subscription you need.
Of course, we’re talking about the official streaming home of the Olympic Games: Peacock.
The NBCUniversal streamer will broadcast over 5,000 hours of live event coverage between now and August 11, and it’s the only place you can ensure you’ll see the events you want as they’re happening.
Below, check out everything you need to know about watching the 2024 Paris Olympics on Peacock.
Peacock is the only place where you can watch every single minute of the 2024 Olympics. While NBC, USA, and other cable channels will broadcast events daily throughout the two-week competition, the best way to ensure you get to watch everything you want to is with a Peacock subscription. You’ll also be able to play back full events that you missed.
In Peacock, the Olympics have a place in the top navigation bar and in there, you’ll find everything from events live now to upcoming events to look forward to. You can even follow specific athletes to see exactly when they’ll be competing.
Peacock has two subscription plans: Peacock Premium and Peacock Premium Plus.
Peacock Premium (ads) | Peacock Premium Plus (ad-free) | |
---|---|---|
Monthly Plan | $7.99/month | $13.99/month |
Annual Plan | $79.99/year | $139.99/year |
Peacock also offers discounted Premium plans for students ($1.99/month) and members of the armed forces ($2.99/month).
Since the Olympics are live, there are unavoidable ads so we’d recommend sticking with the lower-priced Premium plan. You’ll only need one month of a subscription to watch the entire Olympics.
Unfortunately, Peacock doesn’t offer a free trial. However, those wanting to try Peacock for free can get it through Instacart+’s two-week free trial.
As we noted above, Peacock will broadcast over 5,000 hours of live sports during the 2024 Olympics, including all 329 medal events. The NBC Olympics website has an easy-to-navigate schedule to find out when events are happening and when medals will be awarded.
In addition to every single event broadcasting live, Peacock will also be presenting a handful of original series to supplement the Olympics coverage.
Comedian Kevin Hart returns to Peacock for the second summer Olympics in a row with a commentary and recap show that’ll air eight times over the two week period. During the 2020 Summer Olympics, his cohost was Snoop Dogg, but with the news that Snoop will be on the ground in Paris this year, Hart’s new cohost is none other than “Saturday Night Live” actor Kenan Thompson.
New episodes will drop on Peacock at 6:00 p.m. ET on the following dates:
Fans of “NFL Red Zone” will want to tune into “GoldZone,” a live whip-around show that will showcase all of the Olympics’ must-see moments as they’re happening. It’ll be hosted by “RedZone” anchor Scott Hanson alongside Andrew Siciliano and “American Ninja Warrior” co-hosts Matt Iseman and Jac Collinsworth.
“GoldZone” will air daily from 7:00 a.m. ET to 5:00 p.m. ET beginning July 27 through August 10.
The host of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Alex Cooper, is teaming up with Peacock for a series of live interactive watch parties during key events during the Olympic Games. She’ll be joined by special guests and interact with fans during the livestreams via social media.
The first episode of “Watch with Alex Cooper” is set for Sunday, July 28 at 3:00 p.m. ET when the USWNT takes on Germany. She’ll also be broadcasting live during the women’s gymnastics all-around final on Thursday, August 1 at 12:15 p.m. ET.
If you signed up for Peacock to watch the Olympics and you’re wondering… now what? Here are just a few things you’ll find on Peacock.
