Comcast’s CMCSA With Paris six hours ahead of New York, the marquee finals will air live in the morning or late afternoon. Most fans have wanted to watch Olympic events live. NBCUniversal has done that in the past with most sports, using its sister channels for around-the-clock coverage, but has kept the marquee events and finals for primetime.

And the time zone gives us the opportunity to create an amazing storytelling event,” Solomon said. “This gives us the opportunity to reimagine and contemporize coverage.”
This will be third Olympics for Peacock, which launched in 2020, although the first Summer Games in which it has all events.
