“2024 is set to become the biggest year of sport for Stan and we are delighted to deliver the most comprehensive, innovative and uninterrupted, ad free viewing experience for the Olympic Games in Australian history, and 4K for the first time ever in Australia,“ Stan‘s chief executive Martin Kugeler said.
“Due to our unique live and on demand offering we will make sure Australian sport fans can watch every epic moment from Paris 2024 when and where they want. Our fantastic lineup of some of the biggest sporting legends will provide expert commentary, insights and analysis.“
The Olympics begin on July 26 and Stan unveiled its plans at the Sydney Opera House on Wednesday.
Stan revealed that viewers can enjoy the curated official coverage from the UK, Spain, France, Germany, Greece and Italy (Eurosport), India (Viacom 18) and New Zealand (Sky New Zealand), with world class international experts and extensive daily shows.
That means the Olympics will reach more communities in Australia than ever before, in languages they are familiar with.
“Thanks to the support from the IOC and the great partners of Eurosport, TV18 and Sky New Zealand, Stan Sport will bring curated official international channels in multiple languages, making the Olympics accessible to even more Australians than ever before,“ Kugeler said.
“We are proud to bring this world first to our audience.“
Stan will also broadcast the Olympics Daily and Paris Preview shows, hosted by Tara Rushton and Adam Peacock.
The shows will include opinion and analysis from some of Australia‘s premier Olympics voices, including Ash Barty, Grant Hackett, Stephanie Rice, Nova Peris and John Steffensen.

“As part of the Nine group, Stan together with the 9Network and 9Now will bring Paris 2024 to every fan in Australia,“ Kugeler said.
“To deliver the world‘s most prestigious sporting event just three years after launching Stan Sport is a testament to the ambition, passion and dedication of the team at Stan.“
