Military, veterans can stream Paris Olympics coverage for free

Service members, retirees, family members, honorably discharged veterans and others authorized to shop online at military exchanges will be able to stream over 5,000 hours of coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games for free, thanks to a partnership between the Army and Air Force Exchange Service and Comcast NBCUniversal.

The Paris Olympics will take place from July 26 to Aug. 11, and authorized users can stream the action through their personal devices and computers through ShopMyExchange.com.

All service branches are eligible. Due to content rights restrictions, an active ShopMyExchange.com account is required. Online verification of your military or veteran status is required by law to establish a ShopMyExchange.com account. Veterans who have been honorably discharged have online exchange shopping benefits.

Coverage will include live competitions across all 39 sports and all 329 medal events, top stories and moments and livestreams of select practice and warmup sessions, according to a joint announcement by AAFES and NBCUniversal. There will also be video content such as event recaps, highlights, viral moments and interviews.
