The BBC today announced a new rights deal that secures the future of the Olympic Games on the BBC.

The deal is up to and including 2032, ensuring the events remain free-to-air for the widest possible audience.

In a new joint partnership with the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD), the BBC will bring comprehensive coverage of the Olympic Games and all the major moments on TV, radio, online and digital to audiences across the UK.

This deal includes the rights to XXV Olympic Winter Games in Milano Cortina in 2026, the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad Los Angeles 2028, the XXVI Olympic Winter Games in 2030, and the Games of the XXXV Olympiad Brisbane 2032.

The existing agreement includes TV, radio and digital rights for the XXXIII Olympiad Paris 2024.

“This partnership ensures that audiences in the UK will continue to have free-to-air access to the Olympic Games for the next decade,” said Barbara Slater, Director BBC Sport.

“The BBC’s ability to bring the nation together is second to none and this new deal provides sports fans a comprehensive, compelling live and on demand offer.”
