New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. While the 2024 Olympics officially

started on Wednesday, the Opening Ceremony of the Paris Games will take place this afternoon. In years past, the Opening Ceremony to any Olympic Games has typically taken place in an Olympic

stadium, however, the Paris 2024 planning committee is taking things to the streets _and_ waterways. Spectators will line both sides of the Seine River for a 3.7-mile stretch, while

athletes will be _in_ the Seine as the Parade of Nations will utilize floats. By the end of the ceremony, the Olympic flame will officially be lit, signifying the games’ opening. As Paris is

only six hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time, the opening ceremony will air live at a (somewhat) normal time: 1:30 p.m. ET. If you want to tune into the spectacle, be it on Peacock or a

live TV streaming service, we compiled everything you need to know below. 2024 OLYMPICS OPENING CEREMONY DATE AND TIME: WHEN IS THE OLYMPICS OPENING CEREMONY START TIME? The 2024 Paris

Tirico will host the NBC/Peacock broadcast of the opening ceremony alongside Kelly Clarkson and Peyton Manning. “Today” hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb will broadcast from a bridge

along the parade route. Over 3,000 dancers and 6,000 athletes are set to appear during the opening ceremony. Though not confirmed yet, reports suggest Lady Gaga and Celine Dion may perform

during the opening ceremony as both singers are currently in Paris. Also, French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed earlier this year that R&B singer Aya Nakamura will perform. PARADE

OF NATIONS ORDER: WHEN WILL TEAM USA APPEAR? WHO ARE TEAM USA’S FLAG BEARERS? This year’s parade of nations, in which each national delegation enters the opening ceremony with their

country’s flag, will take place down the Seine River, rather than the traditional stadium. Each of the 205 countries will enter on a float. As is tradition, Greece will lead off the parade,

as the birthplace of the Olympic Games, then countries will enter alphabetically — using the French name of each country to determine this — save for Australia, the United States, and

France. Australia will be the 203rd country as the host of the 2032 Summer Olympics. Team USA will enter 204th — second-to-last — this year as the _next_ Summer Olympics host country with

NBA all-star LeBron James and reigning U.S. Open champ Coco Gauff serving as flagbearers. Finally, the host country France will end the Parade of Nations. WHEN IS THE 2024 OLYMPICS CLOSING
