Watch the Beach Volleyball semi-finals at Olympics 2024 today for a competition that's peaking beautifully. Below we have all the information on how to watch Beach Volleyball semi-finals at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free streams.

First up today is Switzerland vs Canada (women), the two teams that ended American hopes. Brunner/Huberli's defeat of Cheng/Hughes was one of the upsets of the tournament, while Wilkerson/Humana-Paredes have made a mockery of their "lucky loser" tag. Up next is Germany vs Norway (men), with the dream of going back-to-back still very much alive for Mol/Sorum (NOR).

After that, it's over to Brazil vs Australia (women), with Patricia/Duda (BRA) still undefeated. While those two stormed into the last four, Tokyo silver medalists Artacho/Clancy (AUS) had to dig deep to down Switzerland, though they've been able to enjoy an extra day of rest. Last but certainly not least, Qatar vs Sweden promises to be the tie of the day, as Younousse/Tijan (QAT) got the better of No.1-rated Ahman/Hellvig in the group stage.

Here's where to watch Beach Volleyball semi-finals online from anywhere – including FREE options – and all the 2024 Olympic Beach Volleyball live streams.
