Paris 2024 Olympics ahead of schedule... Some team sports see their competition start a little earlier than others, as early as Wednesday, July 24, 2024. Here are the matches for France (but also the other nations) not to be missed between now and the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games!
While the Paris 2024 Olympic Games don't really get underway until July 26 after the opening ceremony and kick-off of the competition, some athletes are already in action this Wednesday, July 24! Several team sports are starting their preliminary rounds earlier than others, in order to spread the matches out over time! So, in rugby, soccer and handball, we'll be able to watch live as the French attempt to secure a place in the next few days.
As a reminder, the matches are broadcast live on France Télévisions, so you'll have to switch between France 2 and France 3 to support the French team, or go to stadiums all over the country! It's the ideal way to get ready for the rest of the competition, which kicks off this Saturday, July 27!
