In addition, NBC stations won the night in broadcast primetime on both Saturday and Sunday nights, averaging 3.7 million and 4.1 million viewers, respectively.

Across Peacock and NBC Sports Digital platforms, viewers have streamed more than 255 million live minutes of 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials competition - already three times greater than the full 2021 U.S. Olympic Trials (79 million minutes).

The swimming trials, which were contested in front of a record 285,000+ fans at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis and featured Michael Phelps in the booth this past weekend alongside Dan Hicks and Rowdy Gaines, delivered an average of 3.4 million primetime viewers over nine nights on NBC and Peacock - UP 26% from 2021.

The trials for track & field and gymnastics -- starring sprinters Richardson, Lyles, and Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, and the last two Olympic all-around gold medalists Simone Biles and Suni Lee -- continue this Thursday through Sunday nights across NBC, Peacock and USA Network. The Opening Ceremony of the Paris Olympics is Friday, July 26 on NBC, Peacock, and Telemundo.

In Paris this summer, the world's greatest athletes will compete against the backdrop of one of the most beautiful cities in the world where the modern Olympic Games were conceived 130 years ago. This will be the third time Paris has hosted the Olympics (1900 and 1924), tying London for the most as a Summer Games host. Los Angeles (1932, 1984) will tie those two cities when it hosts the first Summer Games in the U.S. in 32 years in 2028.

The Paris organizers are reimagining the Games to make them more accessible to the public and to showcase their city to the world. In a first, competitions will be held amidst iconic Parisian landmarks - beach volleyball at the Eiffel Tower, equestrian at the Palace of Versailles, and urban sports at Place de la Concorde. The surfing competition will take place nearly 10,000 miles from Paris in Tahiti, a part of French Polynesia.

The NBC broadcast network and streaming service Peacock will be the company's primary platforms for its coverage of the Olympic Games Paris 2024, scheduled for July 26-Aug. 11. Click here for more linear programming information and here for more about the Olympic experience on Peacock. NBC and Peacock will present live coverage of the Opening Ceremony on Friday, July 26, beginning at Noon ET. Telemundo will provide Spanish-language coverage beginning at 1 p.m. ET. Primetime coverage will begin at 7:30 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and Peacock.

NBCUniversal owns the U.S. media rights to the Olympic Games through 2032, which are scheduled for Paris (2024), Milan Cortina (2026), Los Angeles (2028) and Brisbane (2032). The host city for the 2030 Olympic Winter Games has not yet been chosen.
