The torch has been lit for the 2024 Olympics in Paris, and Saturday marks the first full day of events following the Opening Ceremony on Friday night. The Sporting News has everything you need to know about NBC's Olympic coverage this evening, with none of the spoilers you might get elsewhere.
Of course, it's worth noting that a number of different events kicked off in Paris as early as Wednesday, including soccer, rugby sevens and team handball. However, today is the first full day of events in the 2024 Olympics, and tonight should be must-see TV.
Paul Juda and Frederick Richard will highlight the gymnastics qualification in primetime, followed by men's 400-meter freestyle swimming and women's synchronized three-meter diving.
A number of other events will also be broadcast on delay on USA Network, including men's basketball, handball, rugby, and beach volleyball, as well as women's water polo and rowing.
As many Olympic fans and viewers know by now, Paris is six hours ahead of New York. Therefore, all of the events we see on NBC and USA tonight will be prerecorded. But, fear not, as we will be listing the complete broadcast schedule for you with zero spoilers.
Let's get right to NBC, USA, and Fubo's full broadcast schedule for the opening Saturday of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Have fun and enjoy what should be one of the most memorable Olympics in modern history!
