STAMFORD, Conn. – May 29, 2025 – NBC Sports will continue to present USA Swimming's most prestigious events on NBC and Peacock through 2028 as part of a multi-year extension of their partnership, both parties announced today.

The event will return to NBC Sports in 2026 after an eight-year hiatus. NBC Sports' commitment to USA Swimming is in addition to its coverage of the 2028 U.S. Olympic Trials and Los Angeles Olympic Games and further showcases its commitment to Olympic sports coverage between Olympic Games.

'We are proud to partner with USA Swimming to follow the journeys of these incredible athletes for another four years on the road to LA28, and showcase their incredible stories and performances across all of our platforms.'
Team USA Swimming earned 28 medals – eight of them gold – at the 2024 Paris Olympics, the most of any country. It was the ninth consecutive Olympics that the U.S. has won the swimming medal count. Katie Ledecky won four Olympic medals, bringing her total Olympic medal count to 14 and making her the most decorated U.S. female Olympian of all time.

Bears' Kevin Byard sounds off on NFL players playing in Olympics
Bears' Kevin Byard sounds off on NFL players playing in Olympics For the first time in history, NFL players will be allowed to compete in the 2028 Olympic Games for flag football. While much of the conversation will be revolved around the potential risks vs. rewards in the decision to the let NFL players compete in the Olympics, there's been a widespread response around the league, and veterans on the Chicago Bears are also weighing in on the decision. Safety Kevin Byard recently stared his thoughts about the ruling. While he understands the allure of playing for his country in the Olympics, he's not necessarily looking to participate. "I think for any athlete to be able to have the opportunity to go and get a gold medal for our country, I think that's an enormous opportunity and it's a blessing," Byard said. "Would I want to play? Probably not, if you asked me probably five some years ago, I probably would be one of the guys in the front of the line. I did hear something about it, I think it'll be during training camp. I don't want to speak too soon, but I just don't know how that would work." Byard believes Bears quarterback Caleb Williams would be a good fit for flag football, but with teams preparing in training camp, he doesn't see how the timing would make sense for anyone who is involved. "I think we got a lot of guys on our team that probably can do it," Byard said. "I'm not sure he's going to want to do it, but I think Caleb would be an excellent flag football team quarterback. Especially with the broken plays and being able to scramble around, do those type of things. I think it is a blessing for sure." It's going to be interesting to see how the NFL and their top players come together to decide on how they'll play in the 2028 Olympics. While it would be beneficial for the worldwide reach of the league and sport, it also comes with risk of top players being banged up before the regular season.

Tyrese Haliburton claps back at Ben Stiller after sending Knicks packing from playoffs
Ben Stiller talked his trash and paid the price. The actor and die-hard Knicks fan joked before Game 6 that Tyrese Haliburton 'brought his duffel for the flight to NY' after seeing footage of the Pacers point guard dressed in all black. After the Pacers eliminated the Knicks with a 125-108 win, Haliburton clapped back. 'Nah, was to pack y'all up,' Haliburton posted on X in response to Stiller. Indeed, it was likely a long night for Stiller, who was a regular at Knicks playoff games throughout the team's run, though he did not appear to make the trip for Game 6 after doing so for Game 4. Haliburton's clapback was well-earned. He outplayed counterpart Jalen Brunson in Saturday's Game 6, putting up 21 points with 13 assists, much of it coming in the second half when the Pacers broke the game open. 3 Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton celebrates during the team's Game 6 Eastern Conference finals win over the Knicks on May 31, 2025. Getty Images 3 Knicks guard Jalen Brunson (11) greets Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (0) after Indiana's Game 6 win to clinch the Eastern Conference finals on May 31, 2025. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Brunson, meanwhile, was locked up by Andrew Nembhard after a masterful adjustment by Pacers coach Rick Carlisle. The Knicks' leading man scored 19 but was 8-for-18 from the field and never got going with the season on the line. After Haliburton beat out Brunson for a spot on the Olympic team last year, he justified that controversial decision in this series.

Haliburton, who flashed the choke sign after the Knicks blew Game 1 of the series, became a villain at Madison Square Garden this series as a result — a status only enhanced now by taking on one of the Garden's most recognizable celebrities. The Pacers will face the Thunder in the NBA Finals, the first time Indiana has played for a championship since 2000, when it lost to the Lakers. 3 Ben Stiller (r.) with Timothée Chalamet (l.) and Kylie Jenner (r.) during Knicks-Pacers Game 5 on May 29, 2025. Getty Images The Pacers have never won an NBA title. The Thunder technically won in 1979 when they were the Seattle Supersonics, but haven't done so since moving to Oklahoma City in 2008. Game 1 is Thursday at 8:30 p.m. in Oklahoma City and will air on ABC.
