After 18 days of competition, the 2024 Olympics are coming to a close.
In addition to celebrating all of the accomplishments of the thousands of athletes who competed over the past weeks, Paris 2024 will also present a spectacle of dance, acrobatics, and more titled “Records,” before the games are handed over — in spectacular, star-studded fashion — to Los Angeles ahead of LA28.
Unlike the opening ceremony, which took place on the River Seine, the closing ceremony will take place in the 80,000-seat Stade de France, where track and field events went down earlier this week.
As Paris is only six hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, the closing ceremony will air live at a (somewhat) normal time: 3:00 p.m. ET. If you want to tune into the spectacle, be it on Peacock or a live TV streaming service , we compiled everything you need to know below.

NBC’s Mike Tirico will host the NBC/Peacock broadcast of the closing ceremony alongside “Tonight Show” host Jimmy Fallon, sports commentator Terry Gannon, and former Olympic figure skaters Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir.
Earlier this week, Snoop Dogg broke on air that H.E.R. would be singing the American national anthem to begin the handover of the games. Actor, known daredevil, and frequent spectator at these Olympics, Tom Cruise is also set to perform one of his signature death-defying stunts as part of the handover; a prerecorded video of Cruise skydiving onto the Hollywood sign will reportedly follow a flashy entrance into Stade de France.
Variety also reported yesterday that Billie Eilish, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Olympic superfan-turned-commentator Snoop Dogg will be featured in the handover portion of the closing ceremony, in a mix of live and pretaped portions from Los Angeles.
Parade of Nations order: When will Team USA appear? Who are Team USA’s flag bearers?
Unlike the opening ceremony, only the flags of each country — and their chosen flag bearers — process into the stadium in order, and it’s likely we’ll see USA enter second-to-last again, as the next summer Olympic host country. Following that, all of the Olympic athletes enter together.
Team USA has chosen record-breaking swimmer Katie Ledecky and rower Nick Mead to process in with the flag.
