Paris Olympics 2024

The Olympics have officially started, with some preliminary archery events taking place yesterday. Tonight marks the highly anticipated opening ceremony.

Personally, I stopped watching the Olympics years ago when they delved into politics.  The same organization that held the 1936 Olympics in Nazi Germany and criticized both the U.S. and Soviet Union for their boycotts in 1980 and 1984, respectively, suddenly became politically active themselves. This hypocrisy turned me off completely.

However, I know many people are passionate about the Olympics, and if you're a streaming enthusiast, you're in luck. NBC is the primary broadcaster, but Peacock TV offers comprehensive coverage of every event. For the most extensive viewing experience, Peacock TV is the way to go.

Here's how you can access NBC and Peacock:

NBC:

  • Antenna: Free
  • Peacock (Plus): $14/month
  • Sling TV (11 markets only): $45/month
  • YouTube TV: $73/month
  • Hulu+Live TV: $77/month
  • Fubo (Pro): $80/month
  • DirecTV (Entertainment): $80/month

Peacock:

  • Peacock is a standalone service.
  • Their $14/month plan allows you to watch NBC's live sports programming.

My Streaming Life won't include the Olympics, again, this year. However, I hope those who do enjoy the wealth of streaming options available.
