One year from Wednesday, the Summer Olympics open in the City of Light. Paris, global hub of food, fashion and culture, and the capital of France, will play host to the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics.
It marks the third time the city has hosted the Games. The first came in 1900, the second in 1924.
For the first time, the Olympics Opening Ceremony will take place outside of a stadium or arena. Instead, each nation will be represented by a boat cruising down the Seine.
When are the 2024 Paris Olympics?
The Paris Olympics begin July 26th and run through August 11th in the summer of 2024.
When are the 2024 Paris Paralympics?
After a brief break following the Olympic Games, the Paris Paralympics will begin August 28th and conclude September 8th.
What are the new sports at the 2024 Paris Olympics?
One new sport will debut at next summer’s Olympic Games: breaking, featuring dancers competing head-to-head to progress through a bracket. The United States will have strong medal contenders in both the men’s and women’s fields, including B-Boy Victor, the men’s gold medal favorite, and B-Girl Sunny, who could contend for a medal on the women’s side.
How can I watch the Paris Olympics and Paralympics?
The Olympic and Paralympic Games in summer 2024 will air across the networks of NBC and on Peacock. Every day, NBC will provide Olympic fans with at least nine hours of daytime coverage of the Games’ most exciting events, including live finals coverage of swimming, gymnastics, track & field and more. With Paris six hours ahead of the United States’ eastern time zone, the daytime takeover will feature that day’s most popular events live on NBC in the morning and afternoon. NBC will also deliver an enhanced Olympics primetime show every night of the Games. Paris 2024 will have more programming hours on the NBC broadcast network than any previous Olympics.
