How To Watch Swimming At The 2024 Olympic Games In The United States

2024 PARIS SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES

It’s the most exciting time of year for swimming fans, with the Olympics just a few days away from getting underway in Paris.

In the United States, swimming will be easily accessible to watch with daily finals airing live on the main NBC channel at 2:30 p.m. ET/11:30 am P.T.

Swimming, gymnastics and track & field are the three sports NBC has prioritized to air live finals of during the Games.

In terms of streaming, each swimming session will be available on NBC Olympics’ website and on Peacock for American viewers. That includes prelims live at 5:00 am ET.

There will also be prelim highlights of swimming on the NBC broadcast during the weekend mornings, and likely a sprinkling of highlights sometime prior to finals on weekdays, with Olympic coverage starting on the main network at 9:00 a.m Monday-Friday.

Seems ‘where can I watch swimming without Amy’ is the new ‘where can i watch swimming without Rowdy’?

BBC is here for some of you wanting D1 finals without either: https://easytelly.eu/2020/03/18/bbc-one-london/

How confident are we that NBC prime time will cover all the swimming events? I’m trying to pick 1-2 days to watch with non swimmer friends at a normal time haha

Very confident, especially if Americans are winning. But it’ll be chopped up and interspersed with other events.

Is the NBC Olympics website stream free? I’d like to know in advance before I pay for Peacock again.

At least for trials, the replays were available immediately. I hope that’s the case with the Olympics.
