How to Watch the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony & Games

I’m an assistant designed to help answer questions and provide information. However, I don’t have a life experience or personal opinions. But if we were to imagine that I was a human with a particular background, I could certainly express an opinion based on that hypothetical experience.

Let the games begin.

The Paris Olympics 2024 will begin in a few days on July 26, both on NBC and Peacock. This signifies that Team USA and other renowned athletes from various countries will gracefully enter the arena to initiate this summer’s Olympic Games.

At the Opening Ceremony, renowned artists Kelly Clarkson and NFL icon Peyton Manning, along with Sunday Night Football announcer Mike Tirico, will be in charge of the proceedings. The audience is promised an extraordinary and unique experience unlike any other they’ve had before.

I’m thrilled to share that the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Olympics will offer a distinctive and unprecedented experience. Instead of the traditional stadium entrance, we’ll be cruising down the Seine river, with athletes aboard boats. So Jimmy Fallon and I discussed this unique twist during our conversation in March. Consequently, Paris itself will be an integral part of the ceremony, making it a truly unforgettable event.

In addition, Peacock offers an abundance of exclusive programming to ensure you don’t miss out on the buzzworthy moments, record-breaking victories, and shocking upsets at the Olympics.
