How to watch Olympic basketball: TV, broadcast, live streaming options for Paris Olympics
If there were ever an Olympic sport we Americans wanted to watch purely to see our nation destroy everyone else, it would be basketball.
The U.S. Men's National Team has won four straight gold medals and seven of the last eight. Our U.S. Women's National Team has been even more dominant, having won seven straight gold medals and nine of the last ten. Even our 3x3 women's basketball team won gold in 2020, the first year the event was featured in the Olympics. While there is no concrete evidence that our men's team would have also won gold if they had participated...you wouldn't be demonized for assuming so.
So, with basketball starting up in the 2024 Olympics tonight, it is our duty as Americans to support our quadrennial dominance on the hardwood. The best way to do so is obviously watching the games, but with so many different streaming services and viewing options, it feels impossible to know where each game is broadcasting and when.
Well, you need not fret any longer. USA TODAY has compiled the full basketball schedule ahead of the action. Here is how and when to watch every single basketball game in this year's Olympics.
