OLYMPIC GAMES 2024
For viewers in the Western Hemisphere, it will be quite a challenge to keep up with the preliminary rounds of the 2024 Olympic Games, as the preliminary rounds begin at 5:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET) and 2:00 a.m. Pacific Time (PT).
People living in Australia or Asia will have to get up very early (or stay up very late) to watch the finals live.
Curious about when the sessions will start with you?
Below you will find the start times of the preliminary rounds and finals in all major cities around the world.
At local level, the preliminary rounds start relatively late, at 11:00 am, and the finals are broadcast live at 8:30 pm.
