We are officially on the eve of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. Lasting from July 26th to August 11th, the best of the best athletes from across the globe will compete in a number of sports in hopes of taking the gold home to their respective countries. Swimming, diving, gymnastics, track and field, and many other thrilling events will light up numerous arenas across Paris this summer. Additionally, new sports like surfing and breakdancing will make their exciting debuts, adding even more variety to the lineup.

Athletes from all walks of life will be labeled the best in the world and cement their legacy in the history of the Olympic games, but first they have to qualify.

The Olympic trials are similar to pre-season football. They help paint a picture of what to expect here in the States for Team USA and how well they will compete later this summer in Paris. From now until the end of June, in multiple cities across the country, many will compete for a shot at making it overseas for a shot at an Olympic medal. Before you learn how to watch the Olympics this year, here is where and how to watch the Olympic trials for multiple events in the weeks to come.

How to Watch the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for Track and Field

Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon, will be the site for the Olympic Team Trials for the Track & Field Competition. The event will be held for nine days, from June 21–30. The finals will be televised on NBC, but everything leading up to the last few events will be available to stream on Peacock, NBC.com, and the NBC Sports App. NBC is also available to stream on DIRECTV STREAM, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, and Sling TV.

Both the women's and the men's trials will take place in Oregon. In competition at the event will be the likes of Noah Lyles, the 2023 World Champion, who became the first athlete since Usain Bolt to win the gold medal in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay events. On the field, it's shot putter Ryan Crouser, who looks to make history in Paris later this summer. Crouser, if qualified (and many think that's a given), will attempt to win three consecutive shot put gold medals at the Olympics.

On the women's side, world record holder for the 400m hurdles, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, will be competing, as will 100m world champ Sha'Carri Richardson. On the field, 2020 discus gold medal winner in Tokyo, Valarie Allman, will look to qualify for another opportunity for Olympic glory this year.
