The contract extension will allow NBCUniversal to broadcast the 2034 Olympic Games in Salt Lake City on NBC and streaming service Peacock

Broadcaster NBC has agreed a $3bn deal to extend its coverage of the Olympic Games in the US beyond 2032, just days before the body that runs the world’s biggest sporting event elects a new president.

Comcast is paying $3 billion to extend its Olympics rights deal through 2036. The renewal with the International Olympic Committee will give two more Olympic Games to NBCUniversal, including the 2034 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City/Utah and the Summer Games in a city to be determined.
