It’s finally time to light the cauldron and let the 2024 Summer Olympic Games begin.

The Games of the XXXIII Olympiad will run July 26-August 11 in Paris, and the Lone Star State has some of its biggest superstar athletes competing for Team USA. In fact, of the nearly 600 American athletes on the team, more than 40 hail from Texas.

They include major headliners like Houston’s Simone Biles, Dallas’ Sha’Carri Richardson, San Antonio’s Fred Kerley, and Austin's Gabby Thomas, along with the youngest member of Team USA, 16-year-old Plano gymnast Hezly Rivera, and a competitor in the all-new sport of breaking, Jeffrey "B-boy Jeffro" Louis of Houston. (And some pretty famous wings from Dallas.)

There are as many ways (and places) to watch these hometown hopefuls as there are reasons to cheer them on. Here’s a basic primer on Olympic broadcast and streaming coverage from Paris (which is seven hours ahead of Texas):

All coverage will be on NBC-owned channels, streaming services, and sites, including USA, E!, CNBC, The Golf Channel, and Telemundo.
Every event will be streamed live via Peacock (PeacockTV.com/Olympics), as well as NBCOlympics.com, the NBC app, and the NBC Olympics app. Peacock makes it easy to search by sport, save events to “My Stuff,” and set reminders.
NBC will carry at least nine hours of live event coverage starting each morning and continuing into the afternoon. Primetime in Paris will show competitions in the evening, and late-night coverage will continue after local news.
Full event replays will be available on the NBCOlympics.com Replays hub.
A guide at NBCOlympics.com schedule page can be filtered by sport, event, top athletes and topics like Must See, Team USA, Top Stars and Medal Events. There's also a toggle to show schedule info for "TV & Digital" or "TV Only."
Find more information about special shows, hosts, and more here.

Below is a list of every Team USA athlete who calls Texas home, by birth or current residence - and at least one way to watch their qualifying events live. (Note that: 1. The list does not include every Texas college athlete or those representing other countries, 2. Information is as of press time; check listings for most up-to-date information, and 3. Yes, soccer and rugby really do start two days early, on July 24.)

Now, on your mark, get set, Go Team USA!

Performers of all types will be showcased in and around Dallas this weekend, with stage actors leading the way in five separate theater productions, including a national Broadway tour. Other choices include three comedy events, an art and music festival in Deep Ellum, a dance troupe, two concerts, the final days of a notable exhibition, and a comedy magician.

Below are the best ways to spend your free time this weekend. If you want more options, check out our calendar for an even longer list of the city's best events. And for a master list of Dallas restaurants serving Easter brunch (better book a table now), go here.

Thursday, April 2

UT Arlington Department of Theatre and Dance presents Hair
Hair’s tribe of young people protest U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, rehearsing a topical array of such issues as racism, the ethics of war, and the need to listen to young people’s ideas. Premiering at the Public Theatre in 1967, Hair soon moved to Broadway and remains a favorite rock musical. The production will run through April 12 in the Fine Arts Building on the UT Arlington campus.

Second Thought Theatre presents Bull in a China Shop
Inspired by the real letters between Mary Woolley and Jeannette Marks spanning from 1899 to 1937, Bull in a China Shop is a fast-paced comedy that asks: What is revolution? What does it mean to be at odds with the world? How do we fulfill our potential? And how do we grow old together? The co-production with Amphibian Stage in Fort Worth, where it ran earlier this year, will run through April 18 at Second Thought Theatre.

Punch Line Irving presents Emil Wakim
Emil Wakim is a stand-up comedian, actor, and writer based in Brooklyn who joined Saturday Night Live for its milestone 50th season as the first Lebanese-American cast member. He made his late-night television debut on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and was selected as a New Face of Comedy at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal. Wakim has opened for comedians like Roy Wood Jr., Kyle Kinane, Nikki Glaser, Hasan Minhaj, and Neal Brennan. He'll perform four times through Saturday at Punch Line Irving.

Improv Addison presents Monét X Change
Monét X Change is an entertainment spitfire and the first double crown winner from RuPaul’s Drag Race, having earned the title Miss Congeniality on season 10 and becoming the first queen of color inducted into the hall of fame after winning All-Stars 4. Known for delivering energetic and show-stopping performances, Monét’s showmanship is a reflection of a tireless work ethic to cultivate and perfect her immaculate lip-syncing skills, comedic chops, and (mostly) pitch-perfect live singing skills. She'll perform five times through Saturday at Improv Addison.

Broadway Dallas presents Some Like It Hot
Set in the Prohibition era, Some Like It Hot is a fast-paced comedy that follows two musicians who take up new identities and go on the run after witnessing a mob hit. Their cross-country journey brings them face to face with a dazzling singer with dreams of stardom, who captures one of their hearts, while the other catches the eye of a wealthy suitor set on finding true love. Still under disguise, they must find a way to untangle their messes and stay alive from the gangsters hot on their tail. The production runs through April 12 at the Music Hall at Fair Park.

Soul Rep Theatre Company presents Madam Queen
Madam Queen is a fully staged world premiere production of the final work by the late Dallas playwright diannetucker. Inspired by the life of Stephanie St. Clair, Harlem’s legendary “Queen of the Numbers” and one of the nation’s first Black female millionaires, Madam Queen brings to the stage a powerful portrait of ambition, resilience, and survival in 1920s Harlem. The production runs through April 19 at South Dallas Cultural Center.

Friday, April 3

Deep Ellum Community Arts Fair
The annual Deep Ellum Community Arts Fair transforms Deep Ellum’s iconic streets into a three-day celebration of art, music, community, and culture. Visitors can explore eight blocks of original art, live performances, and culinary delights, featuring booths from more than 120 fine and decorative artists and sounds from more than 80 bands and performing artists spread across four stages. The event takes place through Sunday.

Pocket Sandwich Theatre presents The Legend of Deadeye Mary
The Legend of Deadeye Mary is a rip-roarin’ Western melodrama full of gunplay, music, audience participation, and popcorn flyin’ at the villains. Framed by a dime-novel writer’s tall tale, the show follows legendary bounty hunter Deadeye Mary as she chases an outlaw, buried gold, and a crooked lawman who chews Shakespeare like chaw. The production runs through May 16 at Pocket Sandwich Theatre in Carrollton.

Saturday, April 4

TITAS/Dance Unbound presents Complexions Contemporary Ballet
Led by dance legends Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson, Complexions Contemporary Ballet is turning heads and winning hearts around the globe. Bold, passionate, and always fresh, Complexions is what contemporary ballet looks like now — and where it’s headed. With music ranging from David Bowie to Lenny Kravitz, Bach, Beethoven, and Prince, this definitely isn’t your grandmother’s ballet company. They'll perform at Winspear Opera House.

Orchestra Noir presents The Culture 2000 Tour
Orchestra Noir was founded in 2016 by Maestro Jason Ikeem Rodgers. Through orchestral performance, they celebrate the cultural achievements of African-American music pioneers across all genres, including classical, jazz, blues, hip-hop, and R&B. They'll perform at Majestic Theatre.

NMIXX in concert
Girl group NMIXX is one of the latest bands to come out of the South Korean K-pop machine. Formed in 2022, the six-member group put out a series of EPs in 2023, 2024, and 2025 before releasing their debut album, Blue Valentine, in late 2025. They'll play at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving as part of their first world tour.

April Fools Comedy Jam
Individually, comedians DeRay Davis, Eddie Griffin, and Corey Holcomb are regulars in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, playing at the various comedy clubs at least once a yea. But the April Fools Comedy Jam will be a chance to see all of them perform on the same stage, as they'll join forces at Texas Trust CU Theatre in Grand Prairie.

Sunday, April 5

Arlington Museum of Art presents "Game of Thrones: The Exhibition" closing day
After six months, Sunday will be the final day to view "Game of Thrones: The Exhibition" at the Arlington Museum of Art. The exhibit features more than 60 meticulously crafted costumes from all eight seasons of the HBO show, including Daenerys Targaryen’s regal dragon-scale gowns, Jon Snow’s battle-worn Night’s Watch gear, and more. The collection highlights the vision and detail of the show’s award-winning costume designer and the hundreds of talented production designers, set builders, and other specialty artisans.

Lucy Darling: Simply Darling
Award-winning performer Carisa Hendrix stars as charming socialite and cocktail enthusiast Lucy Darling as she continues her vivacious vagabond voyages with Simply Darling, a touring variety show featuring her razor-sharp wit, unquestionable advice, and skillful magic. She'll perform at Winspear Opera House.
