OLYMPICS 2024: Watch it all on the big screen at these Alabama theatres
The 2024 Olympics are almost here. And if you aren’t already in the City of Love waiting for the Opening Ceremony, you’re probably trying to figure out which events you want to watch – and from where you’ll be tuning in.
AMC Theatres across the country are offering a unique Olympics viewing experience—showcasing events on the silver screen. Four theatres in Alabama are getting in on the fun, too.

Most of us want a trip to Paris—but trying to travel during the Olympics is easier said than done. That’s why AMC Theatres partnered with NBC to bring the games to you. They plan on streaming most events that Team USA is competiting in, like:
- Swimming
- U.S. Men’s and Women’s Basketball
- Beach volleyball
- Track and Field
- Gymnastics
- Check out the whole list of events
Theatres are set to screen the games live over a backdrop of idyllic Paris settings. They’ve also rolled out some limited edition Team USA-themed slushies and popcorn buckets for the occasion.
Four Central Alabama theatres are participating this first-of-its-kind viewing experience. Check ’em out!
