The Paris Olympics 2024 is all set to start on July 26 with a grand opening ceremony on the iconic River Seine. The opening ceremony, which will take place along the Seine River with the iconic Eiffel Tower in the backdrop, will be a historic one as this is the first time that an Olympic opening ceremony will take place outside the stadium.

Fans in India can tune in to watch this colourful extravaganza through the heart of the French capital by tuning in to JioCinema, where the opening ceremony, as well as the tournament, will be streamed for free.

To watch JioCInema’s live streaming of the Paris Olympics 2024 opening ceremony for free, you will need to download their apps for Android or Apple. Desktop users can go to their website and watch the live stream.

The opening ceremony will also be telecasted live on the Sports 18 and Sports 18+ channels.

Both JioCinema and Sports 18 are part of the Viacom18 family, which won the broadcasting rights for the Paris Olympic 2024 games in India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka.


Who will be a part of the Paris Olympics 2024 opening ceremony?

The grand opening ceremony will see around 10,500 athletes from around the world sail down the River Seine atop 160 boats.

The opening ceremony will start at 7:30 pm local time (11:00 pm IST), so viewers can enjoy most of the ceremony under daylight. The procession will go along a four-mile route through the Seine and end at the Trocadero area of Paris.

India is sending a contingent of 117 athletes and 140 support staff – the largest contingent to date – to take part in the Paris Olympics 2024. Badminton star PV Sindhu will be the female flag bearer for India, while paddler A Sharath Kamal will be the male counterpart.
