It’s time to say au revoir to the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, but not before celebrating one last time. Watch the 2024 Paris Olympics closing ceremony as athletes and nations unite for the final moments of the Olympic Games. Keep reading to find out how and when to watch from home, even if you don’t have cable.
The Summer Olympics closing ceremony will take place on Sunday, August 11, 2024, at 3 p.m. ET (noon PT). The closing ceremony will be broadcast on NBC, including an enhanced encore in primetime at 7 p.m. ET/PT.
While many cable packages include NBC, it’s easy to watch if NBC isn’t included in your cable TV subscription, or if you don’t have cable at all. Your best options for watching the Olympic opening ceremony are below. (Streaming options will require an internet provider.)
In addition to major sporting events like the 2024 Paris Olympics closing ceremony, 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.”
A Peacock subscription costs $8 per month. An annual plan is available for $80 per year (best value). You can cancel anytime.

If you don’t have cable TV that includes NBC, one of the most cost-effective ways to watch the closing ceremony, and all the major sporting events happening this fall, is through a subscription to Sling TV. The streamer NFL football airing on NBC, Fox and ABC (where available) and NFL Network with its Orange + Blue plan.
That Orange + Blue plan normally costs $60 per month, but the streamer currently offers a half-off promotion for your first month, so you’ll pay just $30. For the least expensive Olympic-watching option, the Blue plan includes the channels NBC, USA and E!, starting at $45 per month ($22.50 for your first month).
The streamer also offers big savings on four months of the Orange + Blue tier plus the Sports Extra plan when you prepay for the Sling TV Season Pass. The Sports Extra plan includes Golf Channel and Big Ten Network among others. Prepay for four months of the Sling TV Season Pass and spend $219, reduced from $300.
Because Sling TV does not carry CBS, Sling subscribers will want to add Paramount+ to their bundle.

You can also watch the closing ceremony airing on network TV with an affordable indoor antenna, which pulls in local over-the-air HDTV channels such as CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, PBS, Univision and more. Here’s the kicker: There’s no monthly charge.
For anyone living in a partially blocked-off area (those near mountains or first-floor apartments), a digital TV antenna may not pick up a good signal — or any signal at all. But for many homes, a digital TV antenna provides a seriously inexpensive way to watch sports without paying a cable company. Indoor TV antennas can also provide some much-needed TV backup if a storm knocks out your cable.
This ultra-thin, multi-directional Mohu Leaf Supreme Pro digital antenna with a 65-mile range can receive hundreds of HD TV channels, including ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, Fox and Univision, and can filter out cellular and FM signals. It delivers a high-quality picture in 1080p HDTV, top-tier sound and comes with a 12-foot digital coax cable.

Sports broadcaster Mike Tirico and “The Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon will host tonight’s closing ceremony.
Fans will have to wait until the big event for all the closing ceremony details to unfold, but the show is expected to include more than 100 acrobats and aerial performers, while actor Tom Cruise is rumored to be executing a skydiving stunt to close out the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris and usher in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. Expect a Snoop Dogg sighting or performance, in addition to the last glimpse of athletes before they head home to bask in the glory of their performances at the Summer Olympics — and get started training for the next one.
Team USA swimming sensation Katie Ledecky and rower Nick Mead have been selected as the Team USA flag bearers for the closing ceremony. Ledecky is now the most decorated U.S. women’s Olympian of all time after winning four medals in Paris ( two gold, one silver and one bronze), bringing her total Olympic medal count to 14.
Nick Mead is a two-time Olympian who is part of the gold-medal Team USA men’s four rowing team.
