We've combed through all of the global watch options and compiled everything you need to know about how to watch the Olympics, including free streaming options.

The summer Olympics pick back up only three years after they were last held, at the Covid-delayed 2020 Tokyo Olympics. This time, Paris hosts the games, and the weeks ahead are already shaping up to be memorable. A few sports began competition early, but now that the Opening Ceremony has taken place, most major sports kick off this weekend.

Some of the most-anticipated events include those from the gymnastics, swimming, athletics, tennis, and basketball categories, among others. Gymnast Simone Biles, swimmer Katie Ledecky, sprinter Sha'Carri Richardson, tennis player Rafael Nadal, marathoner Eliud Kipchoge, and basketball player LeBron James are just a few of the can't-miss athletes slated to compete in Paris. This year will also bring back surfing, skateboarding, sport climbing, and 3x3 basketball, which each debuted in Tokyo, for their second appearance at the Olympic games. Additionally, 2024 will introduce the sport of breaking (breakdancing) to the competition.

Why do some Olympic events start before the opening ceremony?

It might seem odd that some events start before the Olympic ceremony has taken place, but there are good reasons for it. Some sports, such as soccer, have required resting periods and so take longer to complete. Others, like handball and weightlifting, share facilities so one needs to be completed before the other can begin.

Who is US women's soccer team coach Emma Hayes?

Emma Hayes is the all-conquering former manager of Chelsea in the WSL. She led them to the league title 7 times and won 5 FA Cups. She has now taken on arguably the biggest job in women's soccer - coaching the USWNT. This is the first tournament we will see the side under Hayes's leadership and she has already made some big decisions. Notably, Alex Morgan has not been selected.
