When do the Paris 2024 Olympics start and finish?

The Paris Olympics 2024 will start on 26 July and this will be the third time the modern Olympics will be taking place in the French capital. The Olympics was held in Paris for the first time in 1900 before the Games returned to the French capital in 1924. As a result, the upcoming Olympic Games marks 100 years since the Games were last held in Paris.

The 2024 Paris Olympics will commence with the opening ceremony on 26 July and conclude on 11 August with a closing ceremony. However, some events get underway even before the opening ceremony on 26 July. These events include football and rugby sevens, which will begin on 24 July, whereas archery and handball competitions will start on 25 July.

The first medal will be awarded on 27 July.

A total of 329 gold medals across 32 sports will be on offer for around 10,500 athletes.
