The Summer Olympics have arrived. The Opening Ceremony kicks off on Friday, July 26 in Paris, France, and fans of Team USA can expect to see some big names in attendance. First Lady Jill Biden will lead the American delegation, and LeBron James was announced as the male flag bearer. The ceremony will take place along the Seine River, which underwent a massive cleanup effort by the French government to get it in Olympic shape.
American viewers can catch the Opening Ceremony at 1:30 p.m. ET/10:30 a.m. PT. NBC will carry the games, so you can watch the opening ceremony and select events with an antenna or stream them with a subscription to Peacock. Another option is to sign up for Hulu + Live TV.
Like any major sporting event, merch is a big part of the Olympics. As has been the tradition since 2008, Ralph Lauren will outfit Team USA during the opening and closing ceremonies. Nike is the sponsor for Team USA’s competition uniforms, while Skims partnered with the team to provide loungewear and underwear for rest days in the Olympic Village. Major brands sponsoring world teams include Adidas, Lululemon, and ASICS, which are outfitting Great Britain, Canada, and Japan, respectively.
In addition to Team USA uniforms, plenty of brands are offering officially licensed fan gear like graphic tees and hats. Some of the coolest merch we’ve seen is retro-inspired gear for past events like the 1996 Atlanta Olympics or the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. Whether the Olympics have you feeling patriotic, or you’re just excited to see the best athletes in the world compete for glory, we’ve rounded up the best Paris Olympics Merch that you can buy right now.

Lululemon Team Canada Women’s Jacket
Canada’s National Team is outfitted by Lululemon, and the results are undeniably pretty cool. This jacket features an abstract, pop art-inspired Canadian maple motif. Since these are summer games, the jacket converts into a short-sleeve style thanks to the zippers on the arms.
