The opening ceremony for the 2024 Paris Olympics takes place on July 26 (though some official Olympic competitions begin starting July 24), but if you are eagerly awaiting the start of the games then you're in luck. Throughout June, the US Olympic Trials are taking place, as athletes across different sports look to secure their spot on Team USA. We have everything you need to know about the events right here.
Before you can go and compete against the other best athletes in the world, first you must prove you are among the best in the US. While some Olympic sports like basketball, golf and soccer determine their teams through a selection process, many sports hold their own competitions, with the best performers earning their spot on Team USA in various specialties. Among the trials that are going to be taking place this month are swimming (and other water sports), track & field and gymnastics.
Get in the Olympic spirit early and get to know some of the Team USA athletes you’ll be rooting for in Paris. Read on to learn everything you need about when and how to watch the US Olympic Trials.

How to watch US Olympic Trials
All of the US Olympic trials are going to be available on either NBC, USA Network, Peacock or an NBCUniversal digital app or website.
Just about all finals are going to air on NBC. In order to watch you must have a traditional pay-TV provider, a TV antenna or a live TV streaming service that carries NBC, which includes Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV. You can also stream NBC coverage live if you are a subscriber to Peacock Premium Plus.
For coverage on USA Network, you must again have either a traditional pay-TV provider or a live TV streaming service that carries the cable channel (Fubo, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV and YouTube TV).
Peacock is going to offer its own coverage of some events, either those that are airing in early morning/afternoon or particular events in track & field and gymnastics in case you want to focus on one thing rather than rely on NBC's coverage that will jump around a bit. Peacock's coverage is available for both Peacock Premium and Peacock Premium Plus subscribers.
In addition to Peacock, any other event that is labeled as "digital only" above should be available on NBCOlympics.com, NBC.com and the NBC or NBC Sports apps.
