While many cable packages include USA Network and the other channels broadcasting the 2024 Summer Olympics, it’s easy to watch the Olympic basketball if those channels aren’t included in your cable TV subscription, or if you don’t have cable at all.

In addition to major sporting events like the 2024 Paris Olympics, Peacock offers its subscribers live-streaming access to NFL games that air on NBC and sports airing on USA Network. The streaming service has plenty more live sports to offer, including Big Ten basketball, Premier League soccer and WWE wrestling (including formerly PPV-only events such as WrestleMania). There are 80,000 hours worth of recorded content to watch as well, including hit movies and TV series such as “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation.”
