Simone Biles is exceeding all expectations at the 2024 Olympics, but will she surprise us one last time?
The 27-year-old gymnast, who has won three medals, will focus on the balance beam and floor exercise on the final day of competition on Monday. This may be the last time we see her competing in the Olympics.
The U.S. men’s team will also cap off a strong Summer Olympic run with finals on the men’s parallel bars and horizontal bars. Track and field events will start to take center stage.
Here’s the agenda for Monday, August 5th and how to follow the event.

What kind of time delay is there for the 2024 Olympics?
Paris is 6 hours ahead of US Eastern Time and 9 hours ahead of Pacific Time. Therefore, many events (and finals) will be held in the morning US time. NBC will air two Olympics shows each day, one during prime time in Paris (2:00 pm to 5:00 pm ET) and another during traditional prime time in the United States, which will feature highlights. You can also watch live and on-demand on Peacock.
How to watch the 2024 Olympics for free?
You can’t watch every game, but NBC’s broadcast channels are the centerpiece of the network’s coverage. The best way to watch the show for free on the big screen is with a good HD antenna. Be sure to test the antenna in multiple locations around your home to find the most reliable signal.
How can I stream the Paris 2024 Olympics online if I don’t have a cable subscription?
Peacock is the streaming home for the 2024 Summer Olympics, offering live and on-demand coverage of every event and providing viewers with daily recaps. Peacock also features a fully interactive Olympics experience that lets you decide how to plan your own event schedule and capture key highlights, as well as multi-view capabilities that let you watch up to four sports simultaneously. You can also watch the event on-demand.
Don’t have a subscription? There are several other streaming options available – some are free, some have free trials, and some require signing in from a cable or satellite provider.
NBC has established the NBCOlympics.com website and offers the broadest selection of NBCSports apps. Otherwise, try one of the following:
Disney+
Disney’s bundled Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ bundle no longer offers a free trial, so you’ll have to pay $15 a month for the trio (or $25 a month without ads on Hulu).
When live TV is included in the bundle, the price rises to $77 per month ($90 without ads).
Hulu vs. Live TV
Free trials of this service are no longer available. The monthly cost is now $77.
YouTube TV
After the free trial, the estimated monthly cost is $73.
sling tv
Dish Network’s Sling lower-tier “Orange” plan costs $40 per month. After adding the more comprehensive “Blue” plan, the cost increases to $55 per month. Unfortunately, the 7-day free trial is gone.
live tv streaming
The oft-rebranded streaming service, formerly known as DirecTV Now, AT&T TVNow and AT&T TV, costs $80 per month after a free trial.
Fubo TV station
This sports-focused cable TV service has broadcast networks in most markets. There’s a 7-day free trial, then it costs $80 or more per month, depending on the pipeline you choose.
