Watch Fencing at Olympics 2024 for one of the most French-feeling sports at the Summer Games. This competition is always electric. Players need fast hands and even faster feet to get the first buzz. Below we have all the information on how to watch Fencing at the 2024 Paris Olympics Game from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free streams.

The fencing has been made for compelling viewing throughout Paris 2024, but Sunday is the final day of action. Ukraine won a fantastic gold medal in the women's team Sabre on Saturday. The men's foil team competition takes centre stage on Sunday and it is the Italians, one of the dominant nations in this sport, taking on Japan for the gold medal. This is going to be a tight one. 

The Italians started the day by beating Poland, while the Japanese saw off Canada. They then had to face France and the USA respectively, no easy task. It leaves us with a really exciting final. Interestingly, neither of these sides were in the medals for this event at Tokyo 2020, finishing fourth and fifth. Italian Filippo Macchi is the main man to watch out for. He already has a silver in the individual version of this discipline and could well lead his nation to team gold. 

Here's where to watch Fencing and 2024 Olympics live streams online from anywhere – including FREE options.
