* Global audience is defined as individuals who have seen at least one minute of coverage. This figure is achieved using modern television audience systems from which it is possible to calculate the net number or percentage of people who have seen a particular piece of a broadcast or series of broadcasts. This section assesses the percentage of the population or potential television audience that consumed television coverage of the specific edition of the Games.
The 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris reached an estimated global audience of around **** billion viewers. Among all Summer Olympic Games since 2008, the Paris 2024 edition recorded the highest global TV audience.
