Defending Olympic champion Beth Shriever was in scintillating form as she advanced to the semi-finals of the women’s BMX racing. The British rider won all three of her quarter-finals, as did Saya Sakakibara of Australia and the USA’s Alise Willoughby, with all three qualifying comfortably clear at the top of the standings.

The men’s competition was dominated by French riders, much to the delight of the home crowd. Sylvain Andre, Romain Mahieu and Joris Daudet were the top three qualifiers and will battle it out for gold today. Their biggest threat is likely to come from Britain’s Kye White who claimed silver in Tokyo three years ago. Today will see the semi-finals and final of both the men’s and women’s competitions take place.

How to watch BMX live streams at Olympics 2024 online and for free, defending champion Shriever in action (3)

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 the BMX events on E! and USA. This may be included with your cable package.

However, your best option is NBC’s streaming service Peaco*ck 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 costs $45 per month and gives you access to more than 30 channels including NBC in selected 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 BMX at Olympics 2024 using a VPN such as NordVPN.

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 BMX.

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