Watch on TV (NBC, USA Network, Golf Channel, CNBC, E!) or stream on Peacock, NBCOlympics.com, NBC.com, NBC App or the NBC Olympics App.

There is no sporting event in the world (or any other) quite like the Olympic Games. And with 39 sports, 329 events and over 10,000 athletes, even the most dedicated Olympic superfan might need guidance on how to watch everything, from the first group stage soccer match to the final moments of the Closing Ceremony.

So how will YOU watch in 2024 once the Olympic flame is burning bright in Paris? Read on for our guide to all the options across TV, streaming and social.

First things first: competition starts on Wednesday, July 24 and ends on Sunday, August 11.

You might be thinking to yourself, “Hold up! That seems a little long — aren’t the Olympics around two weeks long?”

You aren’t wrong. There are 16 days of competition between the Opening Ceremony on Friday, July 26 and Closing Ceremony on Sunday, August 11. However, the Olympic schedule is so jam-packed that some sports (soccer, rugby) hold preliminary competitions a day or two prior to the Opening Ceremony, on July 24 and July 25.

If figuring out what's going on when and how to watch seems a little tricky, head on over to the NBCOlympics.com schedule page. There you'll find an easy-to-use, intuitive guide that will help even the most seasoned Olympic viewer navigate the thousands of hours of Olympic coverage. The schedule can be filtered by sport, event, top athletes and topics like Must See, Team USA, Top Stars and Medal Events. There's also a toggle at the top to indicate whether you'd like to see schedule info for "TV & Digital" or "TV Only."

And to make the NBCOlympics.com schedule even more valuable, fans will also be able to use it to access scores, stats, standings, team rosters, medal counts, you name it!

If you still have questions, visit the FAQ page, where additional support will be available (starting July 26) via the "Live Chat" button in the bottom right corner of your web browser, or email questions to olympicsupport@nbcolympics.com.

Starting on July 24, for 19 days there will be more must-see, can’t-miss, holy-$&@!-did-you-see-that moments than you’ll know what to do with. And all of them will be streaming LIVE on phone, tablet and connected TV devices via Peacock, NBCOlympics.com, the NBC app and the NBC Olympics app.

How to stream the Olympics on Peacock: After subscribing and logging in, either go to PeacockTV.com/Olympics in your web browser or download the Peacock app and navigate to the Olympics section.

How to stream the Olympics on NBC Olympics digital platforms: Users can also authenticate with their cable subscription, which allows them to watch live streams of every Olympic event on NBCOlympics.com, NBC.com, the NBC app or the NBC Olympics app. All streams can be viewed in your web browser or on your phone, tablet or connected TV device.

Cable, satellite or even classic over-the-air audiences will be able to easily find Olympic programming on TV. On each day of the Olympics NBC will have, at minimum, nine hours of live event coverage starting each morning and continuing on through the afternoon.

In the evening, come back to NBC for Primetime in Paris, when the raw emotion of the Olympics will be enhanced through a mix of exhilarating competition, up-close and intimate Olympic moments and unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the athletes and their families. Coverage continues after local news with the late night show, hosted by NBC sportscaster Maria Taylor, who will present a fresh look at the day's events from various hot spots around Paris.
