U.S. military service members and veterans can stream the 2024 Paris Olympic Games for free, thanks to Comcast and The Army & Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES).
In total, more than 5000 hours of this summer’s games are being made available through this partnership, including live competition across all 39 sports and all 329 medal events, live streams of select practice and warm-up sessions, event recaps, highlights, viral moments, interviews and more.
Once the Olympics begin on July 26, service members in the U.S. will be able to tune in and watch live through the NBC Sports app on supported devices or through NBCOlympics.com on most web-enabled devices. If planning to watch from outside the United States, the NBC Olympics website is going to be the best option.
While the app and website require an account, service members can unlock their free access by selecting Exchange as their service provider, and signing in with their AAFES account details. Those without a current AAFES account can sign up through ShopMyExchange.com ahead of the Olympics to ensure they have access once the games begin.
“We’re thrilled to once again partner with The Exchange for the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris. It’s our privilege to provide unprecedented access to this historic event to U.S. military service members and veterans, where the world’s greatest athletes will compete against the backdrop of one of the most beautiful cities in the world,” said Mona Dexter, VP of Military & Veteran Affairs at Comcast NBCUniversal.
For those not eligible to watch for free with an Exchange account, Peacock will be the streaming home of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Following the latest price increase, Peacock Premium plans now start at $7.99 a month and $79.99 a year.
