Watch France vs USA men's basketball final at Olympics 2024 to the the gold medal match many people dreamed of when the tournament began. It is Wemby vs his fellow NBA all-stars. Below we have all the information on how to watch France vs USA men's basketball final at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free streams.

The USA recovered from being, at one point, 17 points behind Serbia to come back and win 95-91. Stephen Curry scored 36 points to help them make it to today's final. There they will face the host nation and try and continue a gold medal-winning run that began at Bejing 2008. France beat Germany to reach the final match on their home court. It means fans will get to see French star Victor Wembanyama take on fellow NBA big-hitters like LeBron James, Anthony Edwards and Joel Embiid.

This is a repeat of the Tokyo Olympic men's basketball football, which was won by the USA. Indeed, these two nations have met each other eight times at the Olympics. The Americans have won on 7 occasions. They might clear favourites but are under huge pressure to win and showed against Serbia that they can be got at. Having the home crowd behind them should help Les Bleus.
