Licensed venues in NSW will be granted extended trading hours to show major events live during the Paris Olympics as the Games' opening ceremony nears.
Hotels, bars, clubs and live music venues in NSW will be able to trade until the early hours of the morning if they screen blockbuster events such as Matildas clashes, swimming finals or the rugby sevens.
The change to operating hours - which is yet to be announced in other states - could lead to licensed premises staying open until 8am to show the Games' opening ceremony.
