Broadcasting from the Olympics for the very first time, talkSPORT will be live from Paris from the 26th July. talkSPORT’s historic broadcast of the 2024 games will showcase more than 250 hours of live coverage across the network and we’ve got the best of British Olympians on side, with 21 gold, silver and bronze medals between them.
From 6am to 10pm, the talkSPORT Network will be live with Olympics coverage to make sure you never miss a moment. Over on talkSPORT 2, a daily Olympics breakfast show will build up to the day’s action from 8am to 10am. Later shows will then run from 10am to 2pm, and 2pm to 6pm, topped off with a Olympics Kick Off hosted by talkSPORT’s Natalie Sawyer live from Paris every evening, starting with the opening ceremony on 26th July where Natalie will be joined by Holmes.
Broadcasting and live streaming from a scenic rooftop location in Central Paris for the first week, talkSPORT then moves to Stade de France for the athletics, and will also be live from Roland Garros - the iconic French Open arena - in the second week for coverage of the boxing finals.
There will be a talkSPORT Olympics Daily podcast bringing you a round up of each day’s action hosted by Natalie, who will be joined by a host of ex-Olympians, including silver medallist swimmer Jazz Carlin and hockey gold-medallist Alex Danson.
