Peacock's Paris Olympics coverage features new interactive scheduling that lets you curate your personal viewing experience, according to NBC. Get the most out of NBC's 5,000 hours of live coverage with dedicated in-depth hubs and search for content by sport or athlete so you don't miss any exciting moments. In addition to the 2024 Paris Olympics, Peacock gives you access to more live sporting events, plus news, exclusive shows, hit movies and more.
NBC has hired more than 150 commentators ahead of the Paris Olympics. Some noteworthy names include Kelly Clarkson, Super Bowl Champion Peyton Manning, Jimmy Fallon, Snoop Dogg, gold-medalist figure skater Tara Lipinski and swimming legend Michael Phelps. SNL alumni Leslie Jones will be Chief Super Fan for NBC Universal, which entails meeting athletes, attending the events and spreading her enthusiasm for the games. Peacock will also have two to three episodes weekly of Olympic Highlights with Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson where the comedians will give their commentary on the sporting events of that week.
Along with Peacock, viewers can also watch the Olympics events aired on cable with any live television streaming service that has NBC in its lineup. This includes FuboTV, Sling TV and Hulu + Live TV. Since these options essentially replace a cable package, they are more expensive than Peacock.
