The U.S. viewing audience for the 2024 Paris Games is poised to be the smallest for any prior Summer Olympics Gallup has measured. Thirty-five percent of U.S. adults plan to watch a great deal (10%) or fair amount (25%) of the games, which is down from 48% measured for the 2016 Olympics and figures just shy of 60% from 2000 to 2012.
Gallup has measured viewing intentions for each Summer Olympics since 2000, except for the 2020 Olympic Games that were delayed until 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In addition to the 35% who plan to watch at least a fair amount of this year’s games, 34% say they will not watch much and 30% do not plan to watch any. The latter figure is up from 21% in 2016 and is more than double the 2000 to 2012 readings, which ranged from 12% to 14%.
Americans’ lack of interest in this year’s Olympics is also evident in the 56% who are aware the games are being held in France.

I haven’t watched a Summer Olympics in at least 40 years but might tune in to the coverage of terrorist attacks during this one.
I refuse to watch something that the USA has put a kneeling, hate America man out in front as our flag bearer! Lebron James knelt for our National Anthem and flag...he doesn’t deserve to be carrying our flag and representing our country.
I'll wait until the reruns...
If true, this Olympics will go down in herstory as having the most new world records set. The least number of marriage proposals resulting from the spectacle will soon follow.
I saw the clips of the Last Supper and that was more than enough to remind us why we hadn’t watched in years.
I’m not watching one second of this farce, but I hope the so-called “US” basketball team is humiliated beyond belief and wins no medals.
Moscow 1980 was the best.
I’m not sure if break dancing is an Olympic sport this year, or if that was a joke. But it wouldn’t surprise me if it were.
All I can say is Celine Dion opened it up fantastically...
... What a great performance
Did she really sing, or was it recorded?
“One would think that the French would be a little more sensitive”
I expected the French to put on a better, more artful, show.
I’m watching the streaming replays of rugby 7s, cause it’s a really awesome game and quick. Of course I have to watch the replays because the idiots in charge of the Olympics almost all of it should be played before the opening ceremony. That will probably be all I watch. The Summer Games just don’t have a lot of sports I’m interested in.

NBCUniversal is going to lose its shirt...
I do watch some events in the Winter Olympics.
Just getting back to the original Greek games.
