Bonjour, chers lecteurs. Forget Mr. Big, the 2024 Summer Olympics are moving to Paris. Gear up for two weeks of swimming, triathlons, biking, gymnastics, and a beaucoup amount of other sports. There are over 300 medal events to keep track of as thousands of athletes, and almost 600 for Team USA, vie for the Olympic gold.

In addition to the mind-numbing volume of events, you have to keep in mind that — depending on where you live in the U.S. — Paris is also at least six hours ahead. Lots of numbers to track! Following the Olympics is becoming an Olympic sport. But we’ve got you covered with our regularly updated schedule of the medal contests events and other notable events from the Opening Ceremony through the Closing Ceremony on August 11. (We’ve also got condensed schedules to all the swimming and gymnastics, at the Olympics, too.) All coverage of the Olympics will be available to watch on NBC and to stream on Peacock. The streamer will even have highlight reels and an AI version of Al Michaels available. Dystopian. Enjoy!

We’ll update this post on weekdays as the Olympics progress. Events are listed in Eastern (ET) time and will stream live and replay on Peacock.* Every day, NBC will present at least nine hours of daytime programming live, followed by primetime coverage. Some events will also appear on Telemundo, USA Network, E!, CNBC, Golf Channel, and Universo.
