With the Olympic Games, we will thus make the whole of the greatest sporting event of the next few years accessible to all French people.

All 22 disciplines broadcast
The broadcast will be exceptional and unprecedented with 300 hours of live (three times more than at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021) on the Francetv offer but also 24-hour exposure thanks to the relay between France 2 and France 3, the two channels broadcasting the tests. The twenty-two disciplines of the competition will thus be highlighted, which was not the case before. New Parisian sites will host certain para sports such as the Invalides with para archery, the gardens of the Palace of Versailles and para horse riding or the Grand Palais with wheelchair fencing and para taekwondo.
“France Télévisions will take media coverage and popular enthusiasm around the event to a new level”
The organizers of Paris 2024 and France Télévisions are committed to highlighting the Paralympic disciplines and making them known to as many people as possible in order to change the way people view disability in society. “As the official broadcaster of the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games in France, France Télévisions will take media coverage and popular enthusiasm around the event to a new level., notes Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024. With this major public service audiovisual group, we share the same desire to highlight the Paralympic athletes and in particular the young generation who will make France win at Paris 2024, to introduce the French public to their performances and their unique journeys, and to seize this historic opportunity to permanently change society’s view of disability. A desire shared by Delphine Ernotte Cunci: “I hope that the Paralympic Games and the 30 months that separate us from the event, will be an opportunity to shine and promote para sports like never before in France, at the service of the integration of all”.
