2024 Olympic Climbing Schedule, Dates and Times to Watch

Climbing at the Olympics will be called “sport climbing,” so if you’re browsing alphabetized TV listings and Olympic broadcast schedules, make sure you’re searching appropriately.

If you are based in the U.S., watch Olympic Sport Climbing on local NBC channels or stream on NBC Olympics.

How to Watch Olympic Sport Climbing Paris 2024

Here is an important, difficult to find link for livestreaming on NBC (U.S. devices only). On the righthand side of the webpage, click on “Every Event LIVE on Peacock” which takes you to a sign up page for Peacock, NBC’s streaming service. It is unclear if the free Peacock service will livestream sport climbing. Peacock Premium, for $4.99/month, notes that it streams “all of our live sports.”

Climbing at this summer’s Olympics will feature three different types of climbing—three “disciplines,” to use climber lingo—but the objective is broadly the same for each of them: move upwards on the climbing wall.

The three Olympic climbing “disciplines” will be speed climbing, bouldering, and lead climbing. Unlike the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which combined each of these disciplines into a single event, the 2024 Paris Olympics will give climbers two opportunities to medal: Speed Climbing or Boulder & Lead Combined. There are no climbers who have qualified for both events.
