So long, Seine. Hello gridlock!

The 2024 Olympics are coming to an end this evening, with one last Parisian hurrah and a Hollywood hello as Paris hands the torch over to Los Angeles, which will host the 2028 Games. The handoff is a final chance for Paris to celebrate what have been widely credited as a terrific Olympics, with standout performances from several athletes, including Simone Biles and Katie Ledecky, and a chance for L.A. to give the world a taste of what to expect in four years.

And the California city seems like it will be leaning into its film roots, with widespread reports that Tom Cruise will make a major appearance and perform a stunt during the closing ceremonies.

While the closing ceremonies aren’t generally as can’t-miss as the opening ceremonies of the Olympics, they’re still a celebration of the Games that showcase the athletes coming together. And Olympic fever has been running hot with the Paris Games. Nearly 29 million tuned in for the Paris Opening Ceremony on July 26, according to Nielsen. That’s an increase of more than 60% from the pandemic-delayed 2021 Games in Tokyo.

Here’s how you can catch the festivities, with or without cable.

When will the 2024 Summer Olympic Closing Ceremonies take place?

The Closing Ceremonies will air on Sunday Aug. 11, beginning at 8:00 p.m. in Paris (which is 2:00 p.m. ET).

What TV channels are airing the Closing Ceremonies?

NBC (and Peacock) will present live coverage of the Closing Ceremonies over broadcast channels beginning at 2:00 p.m. ET on Friday, with primetime coverage beginning at 7:00 p.m. ET on both NBC and Peacock.

Where will the Closing Ceremonies take place?

The Closing Ceremonies will take place at Stade de France, the country’s national stadium.

How can I watch the 2024 Olympics’ Closing Ceremonies for free?

It won’t be hard. Since NBC’s broadcast channel is the primary spot airing the ceremony, you can watch for free with a good HD antenna. Be sure to test the antenna in multiple locations in your home to find the most reliable signal.

Can I stream the 2024 Paris Olympics Closing Ceremonies live online if I don’t have a cable subscription?

You can. Peacock will air them live and again at 7:00 p.m. NBC has also set up the NBCOlympics.com website. Prefer another option? There are several.

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, either. 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.
