Engagement
A typical post picks up 140 interactions against 1.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.013%. Measured over 50 original posts, its engagement rate beats 38% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end.

Compared with accounts its own size
NBC Olympics & Paralympics's engagement rate beats 38% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 30% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 05:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked.

A typical post picks up 140 interactions against 1.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.013%. Measured over 50 original posts, its engagement rate beats 38% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 31K times each, and 0.452% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.76% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 05:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week.

- What is NBC Olympics & Paralympics's engagement rate on X?
- NBC Olympics & Paralympics (@NBCOlympics) has an engagement rate of 0.013%, based on the median interactions across 50 original posts from the last 30 days against 1,125,232 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.013%, NBC Olympics & Paralympics sits above the 25th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @NBCOlympics have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 38% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @NBCOlympics post?
- Most posts go out around 05:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.1 posts per day across the measured window.
