In a significant initiative to support the U.S. military community, Comcast NBCUniversal has joined forces with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service to offer free streaming access to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. This partnership enables service members and honorably discharged Veterans around the globe to enjoy extensive coverage of the Olympics, scheduled from July 26 to August 11, 2024, fostering a sense of unity and shared experience among those serving far from home.
The collaboration grants access to over 5,000 hours of Olympic content, including live competitions across all 39 sports and 329 medal events. Military personnel can stream the games on personal devices and computers via ShopMyExchange.com, ensuring they remain connected to this global sporting spectacle regardless of their location. Air Force Chief Master Sgt. Rich Martinez highlighted the value of this partnership, emphasizing the joy of bringing the Olympic Games to service members and their families worldwide.
Mona Dexter, VP of Military & Veteran Affairs at Comcast NBCUniversal, underscored the privilege of offering unprecedented access to this historic event. The coverage extends beyond live competitions to include top stories, moments, and select practice sessions, alongside event recaps, highlights, and interviews, providing a comprehensive Olympic experience.
To access the coverage, service members can visit NBCOlympics.com on desktop or use the NBC Sports App on mobile devices, selecting the Exchange as their service provider. An active ShopMyExchange.com account is required due to content rights restrictions, with additional requirements for those stationed overseas, including being on-installation at a military location with internet service through an authorized provider.
This initiative not only enhances the morale and well-being of military personnel but also reflects the enduring commitment of Comcast NBCUniversal and the Exchange to support the U.S. military. The Exchange, serving military communities since 1895, has contributed $3.7 billion in earnings over the past decade to support military communities, including Quality-of-Life programs.
As the 2024 Paris Olympic Games approach, this partnership ensures that U.S. service members and Veterans can partake in this global celebration of sport and human achievement, regardless of their duty station. It highlights the importance of maintaining connections to global events for those dedicated to serving their country. For detailed instructions on streaming the games, service members are encouraged to visit the Exchange's dedicated Olympic page.
