Want to watch the Paris Olympics tennis finals? Here’s what you need to know.
NBC is the official television broadcaster of the 2024 Olympics, but the men’s and women’s singles gold medal singles matches will also be shown on USA, E! and CNBC. If you want to watch the Paris Olympic tennis matches on TV, you’ll need a basic cable package that includes the aforementioned channels.
It’s not clear if NBC or the television networks will be airing the Olympic gold medal tennis matches live or as a replay. The best way to watch tennis at the Olympics live is through Peacock , which is the official streaming service of the Paris Summer Games.

A subscription to Peacock costs just $7.99 and gets you instant access to watch Olympics tennis online in addition to thousands of hours of other TV shows, movies and specials.
