The 2024 Paris Olympics take place from 26 July to 11 August, with full coverage on the BBC.
Live television coverage of the Paris 2024 Olympics will begin on 27 July on BBC One, BBC Two, and BBC iPlayer, offering access to all 32 sports events along with a nightly highlights program. The BBC will feature one live channel and an ‘Olympics Extra’ live stream on BBC iPlayer showcasing the best action.
BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds will run a special Olympic schedule throughout the event, providing 12 hours of continuous coverage daily from 10am to 10pm, with live medal winner updates on 5 Live Breakfast each morning.
Building on the success of the Tokyo 2021 Olympics, which attracted 27 million visitors, the BBC Sport website and app will cover all major medal-winning moments, news stories, and reports. Live text pages will be available from 6:30am until midnight, and highlights videos will be easily accessible through a new vertical video carousel on the website and app.
BBC Sport’s social media channels will bring fans closer to the athletes, showcasing the best moments and behind-the-scenes content.
Joining the BBC’s studio guest lineup for the first time are Dame Laura Kenny, Great Britain’s most decorated female Olympian, and television personality Fred Sirieix, whose daughter Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix is aiming for diving gold for Great Britain. They will be joined by long jumper Jazmin Sawyers, Olympic rowing gold medallist Moe Sbihi, and Olympic triathlon bronze medallist Vicky Holland.
“For the first time since London 2012, we have an Olympic Games taking place in a European time zone, which is really exciting for UK audiences,” said director of BBC Sport Alex Kay-Jelski. “People can tune in to live coverage morning, noon, and night, following all the biggest sporting moments as they happen.”
