Yesterday in the men's basketball final, Team USA eased to victory over hosts France, much to the disappointment of those inside the Bercy Arena. Today the same two nations will meet in the women's final as France attempt to end the astonishing winning run of Team USA. Below we have all the information on how to watch the women’s basketball final at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.

Coming into this tournament it seemed inevitable that the USA would be in the final and that’s exactly how it has played out. They cruised into the gold medal match, completing a comprehensive 85-64 win over Australia in the semi-finals. They now have the chance to win gold for the eighth consecutive time and will be looking for more big performances from the likes of centre A'ja Wilson and shooting guard Jackie Young.

Hoping to deny the USA a 61st consecutive win at the Olympics are hosts France who needed overtime to edge past Belgium in the semi-finals. Les Bleues have relied on a tight defence to win games, forcing 22 turnovers (14 steals) and scoring 30 points off them against Belgium. They will also need star players Gabby Williams and Marine Johannès to be at their very best if they hope to delight the home crowd and win gold. 

Here's where to watch the women’s basketball final and all the 2024 Olympic basketball live streams online from anywhere – including FREE options.
