Mike Tirico leads a roster of more than 150 commentators for NBCUniversal’s coverage of the Olympic Games Paris 2024, scheduled for July 26-Aug. 11 across NBC, Peacock, USA Network, CNBC, E!, GOLF Channel, Telemundo, Universo, and NBCUniversal’s digital platforms.
The roster includes Olympians and Paralympians who have won a combined 90 Olympic medals. Team NBC would have had the most gold medals (59) of any country in the Tokyo Olympics, and the second-most total medals behind only Team USA (113). A member of Team NBC has been part of Team USA in every Summer Games dating back to the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.
The lineup features the return of many of the network’s signature Olympic hosts, play-by-play commentators, and analysts with Olympic experience as well as talented new voices.
NBC Olympics commentator notes:
- Mike Tirico serves as NBC Olympics’ primetime host for the fourth time. Daytime hosts on NBC and Peacock include Rebecca Lowe, Craig Melvin, Ahmed Fareed, and Damon Hack. Maria Taylor hosts Late Night coverage on NBC and Peacock, marking her third Olympic assignment.

Analysts making their NBC Olympics debut include Connor Fields(BMX Racing) and Abby Gustaitis (Rugby), who each represented Team USA in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. Mallory Weggeman, five-time Paralympic swimming medalist, will soon attempt to qualify to represent Team USA at the Paris Paralympics.
