The Olympic flame began its journey to Paris 2024 in Greece before being handed over to the French. After two months on the road, it’s the next episode of the relay and the legendary hip-hop artist has been given the illustrious honour of taking it for one of the final sections. He is going to be accompanied by actress Laetitia Casta and rapper MC Solaar from host nation France, as well as former Ukrainian pole-vaulter Sergey Bubka. They will be walking the streets of Saint-Denis, where the Olympic Stadium and Aquatics Centre are based.

An amazing total of 11,000 people have carried the Olympic torch. Many of them have been ordinary French citizens. Other big names to have been involved in the relay include actor Salma Hayek. We’re getting close to the end now and this should be a big moment and part of the opening ceremony.

Let’s hope Snoop Dogg holds onto the Olympic flame and doesn’t drop it like it’s hot. Make sure you don’t miss a single moment from the Paris Games by checking out our full guide on how to watch Olympics 2024.

The U.S. is set to host the Olympics in 2028, with Los Angeles, California confirmed as the host city, but to enjoy this year’s Olympics held in Paris, France, viewers in America are going to be relying on NBCUniversal who will be broadcasting Snoop Dogg carrying the Olympic torch across its channels including NBC, USA and MSNBC. These may be included with your cable package.

However, your best option is NBC’s streaming service Peacock as it’s set to live stream every event at the Paris Olympics promising to offer a daily recap with highlights of all the biggest medal-winning moments. To tune in, you'll need either a Premium subscription ($7.99/month) or Premium Plus ($13.99/month, which also gets rid of some ads).

Cord-cutters can opt for Sling TV. The Sling Blue package starts at $40 per month and gives you access to more than 30 channels including NBC (select markets), USA and MSNBC. Or you could go for Fubo. Its Pro Plan costs $79.99 per month, though you get 121 channels for that hefty investment, including all the NBC channels showing Olympics 2024 events.

If you're outside the U.S. but have one of these subscriptions, you can watch a Snoop Dogg carrying the Olympic torch at Olympics 2024 using a VPN such as NordVPN.

Peacock

In addition to comprehensive coverage of the 2024 Olympics, Peacock also gives subscribers access to Premier League soccer, WWE and more. There's also a huge library of movies and TV shows to enjoy between events. 

Sling TV

Sling TV offers two packages, Orange ($40 per month) and Blue (starting at $40 per month). The Sling Blue plan comes with 30-plus channels, including NBC (select markets), USA and MSNBC. New subscribers often get a discount on their first month.

Fubo.

If you love sports, you might want to check out Fubo. It's got a 7-day free trial so you don't need to pay up front and has dozens of sports channels, including NBC and USA Network.

Back in the good old days, the BBC was the exclusive U.K. home of the Olympics, but that all changed in 2021 when Discovery came on the scene. Fortunately, many events are still free to watch on the BBC and BBC iPlayer but remember it won’t have everything.

Brits who don’t want to miss a single second of the action will need to invest in Discovery Plus. A subscription will cost you £6.99 per month (reduced to £3.99 per month during the Olympics) for the Standard plan which includes the action from Paris 2024. Having to pay to watch the Olympics is a foreign concept to many in the U.K. but for your money you’ll get access to every single Olympics sport, including Snoop Dogg carrying the Olympic torch.

All sounds great, right? But if you're not in the U.K., you can still follow Snoop Dogg carrying the Olympic torch at Olympics 2024 by using one of the best VPN services, such as NordVPN.
