    How to watch Simone Biles and the U.S. women’s team in the 2024 Olympics all-around finals for free and without cable

    By Chris Morris,

    12 hours ago

    Simone Biles has overshadowed the sport of gymnastics for the better part of a decade, but hasn’t won an Olympic gold medal since 2016 in Rio. That could end Tuesday as Biles and the U.S. women’s team enter the all-around finals in artistic gymnastics.

    Biles’ and the women’s final is unquestionably the highlight of a busy day in Paris for the 2024 Summer Games. After she suffered an apparent calf injury on Sunday, fans worried Biles might have to withdraw from competition, three years after she took herself out of the Tokyo games. Despite the scary sight of her crawling on the runway and hopping on one food, though, Biles is set to perform on all four apparatuses Tuesday.

    One event that won’t be happening? The men’s Olympic triathlon, which was pushed from Tuesday to Wednesday because of elevated bacteria levels in the River Seine

    What sort of time delay is there with the 2024 Olympics?

    Paris is six hours ahead of U.S. Eastern time and nine hours ahead of Pacific time. As a result, many events (and finals) will take place early in the morning U.S. time. As a result, NBC will air two daily Olympics shows, one that coincides with Paris’ prime time (from 2:00 p.m. ET through 5:00 p.m. ET) and another in traditional U.S. prime time, which will show highlights. You can also watch live on Peacock.

    How can I watch the 2024 Olympics for free?

    You won’t be able to watch every event, but NBC’s broadcast channel is the heart of the network’s coverage. The best way to watch that for free on a big screen is with a good HD antenna. Be sure to test the antenna in multiple locations in your home to find the most reliable signal.

    How can I stream the 2024 Paris Olympics live online if I don't have a cable subscription?

    Peacock is the streaming home of the 2024 Summer Games, carrying every event live and on demand as well as offering a daily recap for viewers. Peacock also has a fully interactive Olympics experience, letting you decide how you build your own schedule of events and catch key highlights, as well as a Multiview functionality that will let you watch up to four sports simultaneously.

    Don’t want to subscribe to that service? There are several other streaming options to choose from – some free, some with free trial periods and some requiring a log-in from your cable or satellite provider.

    NBC has set up the NBCOlympics.com website and offers the NBCSports app with the widest variety of options. Otherwise, try one of these:

    Disney+

    Disney's bundle of Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ no longer has a free trial, so you’ll have to pay $15 per month for all three combined (or $25 per month for no ads on Hulu).

    Including Live TV in the bundle bumps the price to $77 per month ($90 with no ads).

    Hulu with Live TV

    The free trial on this service is no longer offered, as well. It will now cost you $77 per month.

    YouTubeTV

    After up to a two-week trial , you can expect monthly charges of $73.

    Sling TV

    Dish Network's Sling lower-tiered "Orange" plan will run you $40 per month. Adding the more comprehensive "Blue" plan bumps the cost to $55 per month. The seven-day free trial has disappeared, unfortunately.

    DirecTV Stream

    Formerly known as DirecTV Now, AT&T TVNow and AT&T TV, this oft-renamed streaming service will run you $75 per month and up after the free trial option.

    Fubo TV

    This sports-focused cord-cutting service carries broadcast networks in most markets. There's a seven-day free trial, followed by monthly charges of $75 and up, depending on the channels you choose.
