Expect an electric atmosphere inside the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles today as hosts France, who won gold three years ago in Tokyo, come up against underdogs Poland in the men's volleyball final. Below we have all the information on how to watch the men’s volleyball final at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.

France have expertly dealt with the pressure of being defending Olympic champions and performing in front of an expectant home crowd. They were superb in the semi-finals as they blew away Italy, securing victory in under an hour. Now they need one more big performance and may well look to Trevor Clevenot to lead the way. The 30-year-old was brilliant against Italy, leading the way with 17 points and a pair of blocks.

While France are used to being in finals, Poland will challenge for Olympic gold for the first time in 48 years after coming through an epic two-hour and 200-point contest against the USA. The Poles showed plenty of skill and determination to win that semi-final, with Wilfredo Leon leading the way with 26 points and two blocks. They will be hoping for another big performance from the Cuban-born star as they look to win gold for the first time since Montreal in 1976.
