While casual viewers of the 2024 Paris Olympics might be happy to watch NBC and Peacock's prime-time recaps of the day's biggest moments, there's so much more to watch, and more events than ever will be broadcast this year thanks to Peacock's comprehensive coverage of the games. Rugby, a relatively new sport to the Games, made its debut in 2016, and was one of the first events to take place at this year's Games (it actually started on July 24, two days before the Opening Ceremony). The men's competition has already concluded, with France taking home the gold. (Fiji, who has won gold in every Olympic Games since 2016, earned silver, while South Africa placed third, after beating Australia in the bronze medal match.)

The women's rugby competition continues this week, with the finals being held on July 30 at Paris' Stade de France. We've got the full schedule and list of competitors so you can tune in.

Dates: July 24 - July 30

Location: Stade de France, Paris

TV channels: NBC, CNBC, E!, USA

Streaming: Peacock

You can watch every single Olympic sport and event this summer on Peacock, including Rugby. The streaming service will offer a curated viewing experience for viewers with the Discovery Multiview which allows fans to watch up to four events at once, so if there are multiple Rugby matches or other sports you'd like to watch at once, you can keep them all up on your screen at the same time.

In addition to streaming on Peacock, Olympic Rugby will be broadcast on the USA Network, NBC, E!, and CNBC.
