This piece will take you through what you can expect to watch on the BBC on Saturday.

What are the BBC TV rights for Paris 2024?

Throughout the Games, the BBC will have the choice of a network TV channel and a second broadcast stream, Olympics™ Extra, (available on the iPlayer and Red Button).

That means we can show the two most exciting or important events happening at any moment live at the same time.

Broadcaster Discovery+ is the rights holder showing every moment of the Games in the UK.

The Discovery+ app and Eurosport channels will air more than 3,800 hours of live coverage in total from 07:00 to 22:30 BST each day. Discovery+ and Eurosport requires a subscription. You can find more information here.
