Olympic beach volleyball made its summer games debut in Atlanta in 1996. Since then, America and Brazil have dominated the winners’ podium. This year, the sport will be hosted at the Eiffel Tower Stadium in Paris, and Team USA is ready to increase its gold medal count. If you’re eager to cheer on Kelly Cheng, Sara Hughes, Andy Benesh, Miles Partain and the rest of the women’s and men’s teams, you can catch every beach volleyball match at the 2024 Summer Olympics with several top-rated live TV streaming platforms.


Where to watch Olympic Beach Volleyball

All 2024 Summer Olympics events, including beach volleyball, are going to be shown on NBC channels. Beach volleyball games will air in English on NBC, CNBC, USA Network and E! and in Spanish on Telemundo and Universo. For the full broadcast and livestreaming schedule, visit NBC’s Olympics website.

Due to time zone differences and limited time on the schedule, many TV airings of beach volleyball will be pre-recorded. But every beach volleyball match and every other Olympic event, will be available to stream live and on-demand on Peacock.
