If you can't be there, the next best thing is to view the Olympics' opening ceremony live at an IMAX theater.
A deal between IMAX and NBC will allow IMAX to air the live coverage of the 2024 Paris Olympics' Opening Ceremony - it will be covered by all 150 IMAX locations in the U.S. on Friday, July 26th.
According to organizers, the game's opening will take place on the Seine River, which flows through the heart of Paris. The Seine will be turned into a stage on which a four-mile-long flotilla consisting of 100 boats will carry thousands of athletes from over 200 countries past on-shore spectators.

CMG thinks witnessing the beginning of 16 days of events in this spectacular way is an option totally unavailable with home viewing. The live show will be hosted by Kelly Clarkson, Peyton Manning, and NBC's Mike Tirico.
This will be Paris's third time hosting (also in 1900 and 1924) tying London for the most as a Summer Games host. Los Angeles will also tie at three times hosting when it sponsors the Games are in 2028. LA hosted in 1932 and 1984.
