Who will host 2024 Paris Olympics coverage? What to know about NBC's Mike Tirico

Mike Tirico will once again be the face of NBC’s on-air 2024 Paris Olympic Games coverage. Tirico is a veteran NBC broadcaster, serving as the network's lead play-by-play voice on “Sunday Night Football” and its NFL package.

Tirico has quite the Olympics résumé. Paris 2024 will be the broadcaster's fifth Olympics assignment and fourth time as the television host of the games; he first replaced Bob Costas in that role at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.

At the Beijing 2022 Winter Games, Tirico returned to the U.S. to call Super Bowl 56 between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals.

Tirico will be on double duty in just a Parisian sense this time, though. He will be around for approximately three hours of live coverage during the daytime and then return to the screens to lead NBC’s marquee broadcast show “Primetime in Paris,” which will begin at 8 p.m. ET each evening.

“There haven’t been many people who have the chance to be the lead voice on a sport like the NFL and be the Olympic host, and I love the fact I get to do both and get the opportunity," Tirico told USA TODAY Sports.
