NBC Announces Historic Coverage of 2024 Paralympic Games

Let the countdown begin! 

With 100 days to go until the Paralympic Games, NBC is gearing up for another round of games, races, and more. To commemorate the 100-day mark, the network confirmed that for the first time in history, there will be multiple hosts on the ground for the event. Andrea Joyce and 2016 Paralympic track and field athlete Lacey Henderson will be hosting a broadcast from the Team USA House, while Sophie Morgan, a disability advocate and co-founder of Making Space & Making Space Media, will join five-time Paralympic gold medalist Chris Waddell and longtime Olympics and Paralympics host Carolyn Manno in hosting from Stamford, Conn., according to the network.

"As support for the Paralympics continues to soar, we are growing our coverage to match the American viewer’s interest and passion,” Molly Solomon, executive producer and president, NBC Olympics Production, said in a press release. “We’ll have more commentators on the ground, more cameras at the venues, and more hours to watch than ever before, including everything on Peacock. Our expansive coverage is dedicated to giving the Paralympics its much-deserved spotlight in Paris particularly as they get ready to come to the United States to Los Angeles in 2028."

In the lead-up to the Paralympic Games, the Paralympic Team Trials for swimming and track and field, taking place June 27, will air on CNBC and stream on Peacock. 

Then, when the Paralympic Games officially begin on August 28, sports buffs will have multiple viewing options. A select number of events will be airing on CNBC, USA Network, and NBC, while all 22 Paralympic events will be available to stream on Peacock.

To make the Games more accessible to all, closed captioning will be available for every Paralympic event, regardless of the platform.
