Key athletes to watch
Team USA Women’s roster features the power-packed duo of Kelly Cheng and Sara Hughes, who have been a team dating back to 2015 when they were both at the University of Southern California. Cheng, 27, and Hughes, 29, won consecutive NCAA championships in 2016 and 2017 and most recently took home the gold medal at the 2023 FIVB World Beach Volleyball Championships.
Joining them on the U.S. roster is the duo of Taryn Kloth and Kristen Nuss. Kloth, 27, and Nuss, 26, played on the same team in college and went on to win the AVP Gold Series Chicago together in September 2022.
Team USA Men's beach volleyball roster for the upcoming season showcases a blend of seasoned talent and promising newcomers, including 29-year-old Andy Benesh and his partner Miles Partain.
Born and raised in Rancho Palos Verdes, Benesh's journey into beach volleyball began on the sand courts, where he honed his skills during offseason breaks from indoor team sessions. After playing indoor volleyball at the University of Southern California, he decided to continue playing beach volleyball in 2018, per Team USA.
Partain, known for his agility playing for the University of California, Los Angeles, has quickly risen through beach volleyball ranks with impressive performances on the domestic and international circuits.
Once an NBA player, Chase Budinger now shines as a beach volleyball star, pairing with longtime partner Miles Evans. Budinger competed in the NBA for seven seasons, played on five national teams, one international team, and played a total of 407 games across eight years, per NBC Olympics before retiring in 2017 to pursue beach volleyball. Evans, a former coach at the Jon Lee Beach Volleyball Camp for youth at East Beach, has been eyeing an Olympic spot for 16 years. The player makes his Olympic debut after playing on the men's volleyball team at UC Santa Barbara.
How to watch
Every day during the Summer Olympics, NBC will offer fans at least nine hours of daytime coverage of the Games’ most exciting events, including live finals coverage of swimming, gymnastics, track and field, and more. Considering the time difference (Paris is six hours ahead of the U.S.’s eastern time zone), fans will be able to watch the day’s most popular events live on NBC in the morning and afternoon. NBC will also deliver an enhanced Olympics primetime show each night, providing three hours of must-see entertainment.
In addition, every event from the Summer Olympics will be broadcast live on Peacock, which will be home to an innovative Olympics hub that will include "curated rails of live and upcoming events, dedicated in-depth hubs for nearly 40 sports, medal standings and an interactive schedule."
