The 2024 Summer Olympics in a Nutshell
The Summer Olympics begin on Friday, July 27, with the extravagant—and must-see—Opening Ceremony, and last through Sunday, August 11, 2024. Those 15 days will likely prove to be the global sporting event of the year, bringing together some of the world’s top athletes to test their meddle against one another.
Paris, France’s capital city and cultural hub, hosts the Summer Olympic Games. Most events will occur in Paris and venues in nearby cities and towns.
However, as in other Olympics, competitions will happen throughout the country, including in the Bordeaux region in southwest France and the cities of Nice and Marseille on France’s southern Mediterranean coast. Viewers will get a sense of the spectacular natural scenery and world-renowned cultural and architectural sites around France.
Interestingly, some events will take place outside of France’s European soil. Several events are scheduled in Teahupo’o, one of the world’s premier surf spots in France’s overseas territory of Tahiti in French Polynesia!
Peacock: The Most Comprehensive Olympic Coverage Option for Streamers
NBC continues its network broadcasting rights to the Olympics in the United States. And, of course, on network TV, NBC will air its “primetime” coverage of the day’s events in the evenings, typically around three to four hours of programming each night.
However, NBC’s streaming service, Peacock, provides comprehensive and complete coverage of the Olympics that will leave its network TV cousin in the dust! Peacock plans to stream live coverage of every event, an extraordinary feat that true Olympics fans will soak up.
Peacock also promises exclusive content to share the stories of the games and the athletes, venues, and spectators that are the heart of the Olympics.
From wildly popular track and field events that could set new world human speed records to fascinating contests like dressage and other equestrian events, Peacock will stream it all. You’ll also be able to cheer on team sports, like basketball and water polo!
Peacock’s Streaming Plans
To take advantage of Peacock’s coverage, you’ll need a subscription to one of Peacock’s plans. Peacock offers two main options and a way to save money by paying annually instead of monthly.
At just $5.99 a month, you can subscribe to Peacock Premium, the app’s basic package. Peacock Premium includes ads, so be mindful of that as you decide. You can also save around $12 a year if you pay $59.99 annually ahead.
If you prefer an ad-free option, Peacock Premium Plus is for you. That plan will run you $11.99 per month or double the price of Peacock Premium. You can get the ad-free Peacock Premium Plus plan at a discount for an annual subscription, $119.99 per year, saving about $24 annually.
Other Olympics Streaming Options
If you don’t have Peacock (and don’t want to add another app at the moment) but still want to stream the Olympics, there are other ways.
You’ll need a live-streaming service. You can get several such services at MyBundle, including Sling TV and fuboTV.
Sling TV, available in three color-named packages called the Blue Package, Orange Package, or Blue + Orange Package, respectively, includes most channels you’ll need to stream the summer Olympics.
The best option for Olympics fans (and for sports fans in general) is the Sling TV Blue + Orange Plan, as it has the broadest range of channels streaming the Olympics this year.
Olympics fans should also consider fuboTV. fuboTV’s channel lineup consists of more live sports content than its competitors. But don’t forget also to check out Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV. They’ll provide excellent coverage and may include other features you and your family may enjoy.
Using MyBundle and its many features, you can put together the perfect streaming service package to catch all of this year’s Olympics action from France.
