This summer, sports fans across America will have the opportunity to gather at their local AMC theater to witness the Olympics as it unfolds live in Paris. NBCUniversal and AMC are partnering together to bring the 2024 Paris Olympics to the big screen.

NBC will extend its daily live daytime coverage of the Olympics to AMC Theatres as a ticketed event throughout the United States from July 27-August 11.

Tickets will become available for purchase at AMC and Fandango this summer. On March 29, an NBCUniversal promotional trailer for coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics will begin to run in AMC theatres.

"The Olympic Games always provide a wonderful, shared experience, and this summer communities across the country will have the opportunity to cheer for Team USA or their own hometown hero in local AMC Theatres. The afternoon broadcasts on NBC will offer many of the most compelling live moments from Paris, and we believe these gatherings will fuel overall enthusiasm for the Games,” said Gary Zenkel, the president of NBC Olympics, in the release.

This will be the third time Paris has hosted the Olympics, once previously in 1900 and again in 1924. Paris shares the record with London for hosting the most Olympic Summer Games. NBC also announced that broadcaster Mike Tirico, former NFL quarterback Peyton Manning and Kelly Clarkson will host the opening ceremony in Paris on July 26.

“We are excited to extend NBC’s daily live coverage of the Paris Olympic Games to AMC Theatres across the country, allowing fans to gather and watch the drama, intrigue, and spectacle of the Summer Games this July," Adam Aron, Chairman and CEO, AMC Theatres stated.
