Below we have all the information on how to watch the women's singles badminton final at the 2024 Paris Olympics Game from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.

World number one Se-young showed plenty of fight to secure her spot in the final, coming from one game down in her last two matches. The reigning world champion fought back against Japan’s Akane Yamaguchi in the quarter-finals before overcoming Gregoria Mariska Tunjung of Indonesia in a tight semi-final.

The South Korean will start the final as the favorite against world number eight Bingjiao who advanced to the gold medal match after Spain’s Carolina Marín was forced to withdraw due to injury. The three-time world champion won the first game and was leading in the second before she was forced to withdraw with a knee issue. It was a bit of fortune for Bingjiao who finished fourth at the Tokyo Games.
