Sports fans will want to springboard into the Olympic diving events, which are currently underway as part of the swimming aspect of the 2024 Olympic games. Here's how to watch the Olympic diving.
US: Peacock | NBC
UK: iPlayer | BBC (free with license fee) | Discovery Plus
AU: Stan Sports | 9Now (free)
Watch abroad with a VPN
Sports fans in Australia or the UK will be able to watch the Olympic diving events for free on 9Now or iPlayer. But never fear if you're away from home during the tournament, because you can watch the Olympic games from anywhere with a VPN.
Having been contested at every single Olympic games since 1904, diving joins water polo, swimming and artistic swimming as one of the pool-based sports contested in Paris in 2024. It also joins the Olympic football as a diving-based sport.
Eight sets of medals are up for grabs in the 2024 Olympic diving competitions from eight events, and a grand total of 136 athletes will be diving in the hopes of nabbing gold for their country.
So here's how to watch the 2024 Olympic diving events, including which competitions are happning on which days and how you can stream it all.
How to watch the Olympic diving in the US
The best way to stream the Olympic diving (and all the other Olympic events) in the US is by using Peacock, which is set to have some of the most expansive overage of the Paris games in the world.
With Peacock you'll be able to watch live streams of each event, including all of the diving. A few extra features let sports fans stream to their heart's content like Discovery Multiview which will let you view four events at once, if you think you can keep up with all of that.
Peacock costs $5.99 per month or $59.99 per year for its basic commerical-supported plan or $11.99 / $119.99 for its ad-free option.
A few NBC-owned channels like NBC, CNBC, NBC Sports and Telemundo are expected to show some of the Olympic games, but whether diving will be amongst them has yet to be confirmed, so I'd recommend sticking to Peacock to make sure you can catch all of the events.
How to watch the Olympic diving in the UK
In the UK, the BBC has broadcast rights to the 2024 Olympic Games, but its coverage is a little spotty. There are two options to watch live events:
If you'd like to watch on TV, BBC One and BBC Two will be broadcasting live coverage of Olympic events, so check for both to find whichever is showing the BBC's TV coverage.
Your other option is online, with iPlayer hosting a live stream which it's dubbed Olympics Extra. This will show events that the main channel isn't, so you've got an alternative. Since iPlayer also lets you watch live TV channels, this will be a one-stop shop for all of the BBC's coverage if you'd like to watch online.
Given that diving won't be the only Olympic event happening at any time, there's a chance that the BBC won't show it in favor of another sport. So to be sure you're going to watch diving, you may want to look for another option...
Thankfully, there is another option that'll let you see the sports. Discovery Plus is set to show a lot more of the Olympic games, and while it usually costs £6.99 per month for its Standard plan, a temporary deal lets you sign up for £3.99 monthly until the end of the year.
How to watch the Olympic diving in Australia
We're recommending relying on the free streaming service 9Now for streaming the Olympic events in Australia, which of course includes Olympic diving.
This is because 9Now is set to host live streams of loads of different Olympic events including the diving, so you'll be able to log in and watch uninterrupted streams of the competition.
It's also possible that Nine will show some of the diving on its TV channel as it's expected to air Olympic coverage, but it's not clear to what extent it'll show diving as opposed to other sports.
How to watch the Olympic diving everywhere else
If you're going to be away from your normal TV setup but still want to watch the Olympic diving, you might run into some problems. Thankfully, you can solve this exact issue with a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
A VPN lets you change your IP address to that of the area of what you want to watch, meaning you can tune in to your favorite sport, TV show or other content even if you're not there. Our favorite is NordVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar.
How to use a VPN to watch any stream
- Download the app at NordVPN
- Choose the location of the streaming service you want to watch (UK, US, etc)
- Navigate to the streaming service and start watching!
