FAST Studios and NBCUniversal have teamed up for the FAST channel Team USA TV to showcase the stories of Team USA athletes and their journeys to represent their country at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, in partnership with the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC).

The channel features 24/7 programming that provides behind-the-scenes access, the latest Team USA news and hours of archival footage. It allows fans to learn more about the athletes and see iconic Olympic and Paralympic moments as they follow the live action from the 2024 Games in Paris across NBCUniversal linear and digital streaming platforms.

The Team USA TV channel can now be accessed through Pluto TV, The Roku Channel, VIZIO WatchFree+, LG Channels and Xumo Play. It will launch soon on Peacock as well.

“In addition to supporting NBCUniversal’s wonderful Olympic and Paralympic broadcasts from Paris, Team USA TV will serve as a year-round home for Team USA athletes to share their stories and for fans to follow the journeys of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic team athletes,” said Katie Bynum Aznavorian, chief strategy and growth officer of the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee. “This partnership with NBC and FAST Studios extends coverage of Team USA in between the Games, fueling fans’ interest to get access to the diverse personalities and gritty performances that make up Team USA as they work every day to drive their personal performance forward and represent the United States in competition.”

“Team USA TV represents a welcome expansion of coverage for American Olympic and Paralympic athletes, providing a year-round companion to NBC’s coverage of national and international events, the Olympic and Paralympic Trials and the Olympic and Paralympic Games,” commented Joe Gesue, senior VP of Olympic programming and executive editor at NBC Sports. “Showcasing athlete stories and bringing viewers closer to their journeys is the bedrock foundation of NBC’s approach, and the opportunity to partner even more closely with the USOPC will amplify our collective ability to do so.”

“We are thrilled to bring Team USA TV to life and to support the great athletes of Team USA, while giving fans access to their favorite athletes’ stories and experiences from the journey to the Olympic and Paralympic games,” said Stuart McLean, CEO of FAST Studios. “Adding Team USA to the FAST Studios roster and producing TEAM USA NOW, a flagship studio-based show, will allow fans everywhere to experience the athletes’ ongoing journey to represent Team USA.”
