The broadcasts of the Olympic Games produced by Nine's Wide World of Sports is televised on the Nine Network (9Gem, 9Go and Channel Nine) and Stan Sport in Australia. For the Olympics, the network is currently broadcasting the 2024 Summer Games in Paris, France. Its last Olympics broadcast prior to the 2023 deal from the IOC, was the 2012 Summer Games in London, United Kingdom.

History

On 13 October 2007, the International Olympic Committee announced that the Nine Network, in joint partnership with subscription television provider Foxtel, secured broadcasting rights for the 2010 Winter Olympics and the 2012 Summer Olympics in Australia[1] in a deal worth more than AU$ 110 million.[2]

On 8 February 2023, Nine was announced by the International Olympic Committee as the exclusive Australian Olympics broadcaster for Paris 2024, Milan-Cortina 2026, Los Angeles 2028, Winter Olympics 2030 and Brisbane 2032 in a deal worth AU$ 305 million,[3] which includes Nine's talk radio stations and Nine's newspapers (The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Brisbane Times and WAtoday).[4][5][6] and its subscription streaming service Stan under the Stan Sport section.[7] This comes after rivals Seven Network lost the Olympic rights in December 2022.[8][9]
