There are only a few more days left for the 2024 Summer Olympics, and all eyes are on Paris. Athletes from around the world have descended on the city for the chance to bring home a medal for their country, and you can watch every minute of it from home. We’ve combed through all of the global watch options and compiled everything you need to know about how to watch the Olympics, including free streaming options around the world.
Select events, such as first-round football and handball games, started early, but the Summer Olympics didn’t officially commence until after the star-studded Opening Ceremony along the Seine on Friday, July 26. Now, most of the biggest sports including track and field, basketball, and diving are underway or completed, with the Olympics slated to conclude with the Closing Ceremony on August 11. Tennis and swimming officially wrapped up this weekend, and artistic gymnastics came to a close on Monday.
Gymnast Simone Biles, swimmer Katie Ledecky, tennis player Novak Djokovic, sprinter Sha’Carri Richardson, marathoner Eliud Kipchoge, and basketball legends LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and Diana Taurasi are just a few of the can’t-miss athletes competing in Paris. In addition to the long-standing events that have dominated the Olympics for over a century, like athletics and swimming, Paris has also introduced Olympic breaking (breakdancing) into the mix. Other newer events that have made a return after debuting at the Tokyo Olympics include skateboarding, sport climbing, 3×3 basketball, and surfing.
