Historic Olympic Opening Ceremony to Parade Along the Seine in Paris, Free for Most Spectators
The Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics will air on NBC and stream on Peacock and NBC Olympics platforms on Friday, July 26.
For the first time in history, the Opening Ceremony of the Olympics won’t begin in a stadium but on a river. The parade of athletes will travel along the Seine, which runs through the heart of Paris. Additionally, it will be the first Opening Ceremony with no admission fee for most spectators, meaning that Olympic fans can gather all along the route to watch the parade go by.
NBC Olympics primetime host Mike Tirico will be joined by Emmy Award-winning talk show host and Grammy Award-winning artist Kelly Clarkson and Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback and two-time Super Bowl champion Peyton Manning in hosting the Opening Ceremony. Along the route, viewers will also find NBC Sports’ Maria Taylor on the Team USA boat, as well as TODAY Show hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb, who will be stationed on a bridge along the river.
