Simone Biles has a chance in Paris to be the first woman since 1968 to win the Olympic all-around title a second time and just the third woman overall. Biles took home the gold in the all-around competition in Rio in 2016. It was one of four gold medals she won in those Games after also placing first in the vault, floor exercise and team competitions. She missed out on gold in the 2020 Tokyo Games, winning a silver in the team competition and bronze on the balance beam.

The Olympics gymnastics competition begins on Sunday with team qualifying and ends on Monday, Aug. 5. Biles is expected to compete in each individual competition in addition to the all-around and team competitions. In the all-around women’s competition, gymnasts perform on all four events: Vault, Uneven Bars, Balance Beam and Floor Exercise. 

Biles will open competition in Paris with team qualifying, which starts at 3:30 a.m. ET (12:30 a.m. PT) on Sunday.

For the men, American Frederick Richard, along with teammate Paul Juda, will represent the US in the all-around final. The 20-year-old Richard is from Massachusetts and is a sophomore at the University of Michigan and a TikTok star. There are six men’s events: floor exercise, pommel horse, still rings, vault, parallel bars and high bar. Richard’s strongest events are floor exercise, parallel bar and high bar. He’s expected to contend for a medal in each, as well as the all-around competition. The men’s competition begins Saturday with qualifying and ends on Monday, Aug. 5.  

Though Peacock is the best way to stream the 2024 Olympic games, you can watch much of the Olympics across NBC’s family of channels — NBC, USA Network, E!, CNBC and Golf Channel — with cable or satellite TV or a live TV streaming service. 

How to watch Olympic gymnastics

If you’re looking to watch all of the gymnastics at the 2024 Olympics in the US, you’ll want Peacock. Even after a recent price hike, which raises the monthly charge from $6 to $8, Peacock is one of the most affordable streaming services. With it, you can watch any event live; NBC states Peacock will stream 5,000 hours of live coverage throughout the Games, including all 329 medal events and, crucially, every event of both the men’s and women’s gymnastics.

In addition to live-streaming each event, Peacock will have a whip-around show, Gold Zone, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET (4 a.m. to 2 p.m. PT) each day. If you’re watching an event on Gold Zone that you’re really into, you can continue to watch it even if Gold Zone cuts away to something else. Peacock will display Live Action on-screen prompts that will let you stay with the event or follow Gold Zone’s coverage.

Peacock will also have four multiview options that will let you watch four events at once. You’ll be able to watch NBC’s nightly Primetime in Paris show on Peacock, and Peacock will have its own daily recap show “hosted” by AI Al Michaels.

Peacock offers two Premium plans, and each costs $2 more a month than it did last week. After the recent price increases, the ad-supported Premium plan will cost $8 a month, and the ad-free Premium plan will costs $14 a month. You can use either Premium plan to watch the Olympics.

What’s the time difference between Paris and the US?

Paris is 6 hours ahead of New York and the rest of the Eastern time zone. It’s 7 hours ahead of the Central time zone, 8 hours ahead of Mountain time and 9 hours ahead of Pacific time.

This difference means that most events will be shown live in the morning and afternoon for US viewers.

Who’s on Team USA for gymnastics? 

In addition to Simone Biles, the women’s team includes Sunisa Lee, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera. Biles is the most decorated of the bunch with three golds and a bronze from the 2016 Rio Games and a silver and bronze from the 2020 Tokyo Games. Lee won gold in the all-around competition in Tokyo and also collected a silver and bronze at those games. Carey won gold in the floor exercise in Tokyo, and Chiles took home a silver in the team competition in Tokyo. It’s the first Olympics for the 16-year-old Rivera, who is the youngest member of the entire US delegation.

On the men’s team with Richard are Asher Hong, Paul Juda, Brody Malone and Stephen Nedoroscik. It’s the second Olympic Games for Malone and the first for Hong, Juda, Nedoroscik and Richard.

Do I need Peacock to watch Olympic gymnastics in the US?

Nope, you can watch the gymnastic events on TV, but Peacock will give you access to every event.

In the US, you need five TV channels for the Olympics: NBC, USA Network, E!, CNBC and Golf Channel. Three of those channels — NBC, USA Network and E! — will show the women’s and men’s gymnastics.

NBC will broadcast its Primetime in Paris show each evening in the US. Mike Tirico hosts the show, which includes reports from Snoop Dogg. 

What’s the best live TV streaming service for the Olympics?

Sling TV is the most affordable option if you live in one of the few markets where it offers NBC. Failing that, YouTube TV is the best service for the Olympics because its base plan, which costs $73, offers all five channels you’ll need. 

If Sling takes a conditional gold medal and YouTube TV gets the silver among live TV streaming services for watching the Olympics, then Hulu with Live TV is awarded the bronze. It costs only $4 more per month than YouTube TV and includes all five channels for watching the Olympics.

With a live TV streaming subscription (or cable-satellite plan), you’ll be able to authenticate yourself as a paying TV subscriber to watch live streams of every event on NBCOlympics.com, NBC.com, the NBC app or the NBC Olympics app. That’s a great option if you don’t want to sign up for Peacock and want to pick and choose which events to watch.

Sling TV’s $40-a-month Blue plan includes NBC, USA Network and E!. You can add CBNC for an extra $6 a month and the Golf Channel for another $11 a month. Even with those add-ons, Sling TV is the cheapest way to get all five channels for the Olympics — provided you live in one of the few markets where Sling offers NBC.

How to watch Olympics gymnastics from anywhere with a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view Olympics gymnastics locally, you may need a different way to watch the games — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Livestream the 2024 Olympic gymnastics in the UK

The BBC will broadcast the 2024 Games on its free-to-air channels, but coverage is limited to BBC One and BBC Two. You can also live stream all the action from Paris on the BBC iPlayer

The BBC iPlayer has dedicated apps available for Android and Apple mobile devices, as well as a vast array of smart TVs and streaming boxes, all you need is a valid UK TV license to stream the tournament.

The BBC promises more than 250 hours of live coverage of the Olympics across the two channels, but not every gymnastics event is set to be shown. For those in the UK wanting more comprehensive coverage of both tournaments, as well as the Olympics as a whole, Discovery Plus is where it’s at, which is offering 3,800 hours of live coverage across 55 dedicated online channels.

Quick tips for streaming the 2024 Olympics gymnastics using a VPN 

  • With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming the Olympic gymnastics live may vary.
  • If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
  • If you’re having trouble watching the Olympics after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
  • All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help since both devices will appear to be in the correct location. 
  • Remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
