STAMFORD, Conn. – July 22, 2024 – With the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony only four days away, Peacock’s slate of original programming is set to launch.
This Friday, July 26, Olympic Highlights with Kevin Hart & Kenan Thompson, starring comedians Kevin Hart and Kenan Thompson, debuts on Peacock following the Opening Ceremony. This year, the Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony is making history by taking place on one of the world’s most famous waterways, the River Seine. On Friday, organizers will transform this iconic River into the world’s largest theatrical stage for what promises to be one of the most spectacular Opening Ceremonies in Olympic history. Instead of walking into a stadium, a four-mile-long flotilla of nearly 90 boats will carry athletes from more than 200 countries past hundreds of thousands of spectators seated on the banks of the Seine.
On Saturday, the Gold Zone whip-around show begins on Peacock at 7 a.m. ET, guiding viewers to the best and most exciting live moments everyday throughout the Games. Some of the key events this Saturday include swimming finals, Team USA men’s and women’s beach volleyball matches, men’s gymnastics, Team USA men’s soccer taking on New Zealand, and more.
This Sunday, the first episode of Watch with Alex Cooper, featuring the multi-hyphenate creator, host, and executive producer of Call Her Daddy, begins on Peacock as the U.S. women’s soccer team faces Germany (3 p.m. ET) in the group stage. The second episode of Watch with Alex Cooper will stream on Peacock on Thursday, Aug. 1 during the women’s gymnastics all-around event (12:15 p.m. ET).
Peacock will be the U.S. streaming home of the 2024 Paris Olympics, providing fans with the most-comprehensive Olympic destination in U.S. media history. In a Summer Games first, the service will stream every sport and event, including all 329 medal events, and will feature full-event replays; all NBC programming; curated video clips; virtual channels; original programming; and more.
