It's been a full week since the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Olympics in Paris, and the action has really started to heat up across the board. Medals will be on the line in a handful of events this evening in NBC's star-studded prime time lineup of events.
There will be something for just about everyone between the broadcasts of NBC and USA and the live-streaming lineup from Fubo. The Sporting News will run through Friday's full coverage schedule without any of the spoilers you might get from other sports sites.
Viewers tuning into the primetime broadcasts tonight will catch USA track and field star Ryan Crouser on the beginning of his quest to become the first-ever shot-putter with three Olympic gold medals. Then star sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson — with her patriotic red, white, and blue nails — should turn heads at her Olympic debut in the 100-meter heats.
NBC's primetime coverage will conclude on Friday with star swimmer Caeleb Dressel competing in the men's 50-meter freestyle, followed by Americans Regan Smith and Phoebe Bacon trying to take down four-time gold medalist Kaylee McKeown of Australia in the women's 200-meter backstroke and French star Leon Marchand trying for a fourth gold of these Games in the 200-meter individual medley.
USA has a loaded broadcast schedule for Friday, too. The cable channel's coverage includes Canada vs. Spain in the men's Olympic basketball tournament (6 p.m. ET), followed by a handful of other events including trampoline, fencing, and badminton.
As many Olympic fans and viewers know by now, Paris is six hours ahead of New York. Therefore, most of the events we see on NBC and USA tonight will be prerecorded. But, fear not, as we will list a complete and spoiler-free broadcast schedule — as well as the Fubo schedule, for fans who want more than what NBC and cable can offer.
Let's get right to NBC, USA, and Fubo's full broadcast schedule for Friday night at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Enjoy what should be an unforgettable night of Olympic action!
