This is a fascinating matchup between two top sides who have impressed at Olympics 2024. The Gold medal is on the line and it should be a cracker.  Below we have all the information on how to watch Germany vs Netherlands in the men's hockey semi-finals at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.

Germany finished top of Pool A, a group that contained their opponents for this final as well as Team GB. They then knocked out Argentina and India to make it to the Gold medal match. They actually beat the Dutch when they faced each other earlier in the competition and will go into this rematch with plenty of confidence. It helps that they have Christopher Rühr, one of the tournament’s top scorers. He has netted 5 times so far.

That said, we know how strong the Netherlands are and will be favourites for the top prize. The Oranje faced Australia in the quarter-finals, impressively beating the always-strong Aussies 2-0. They then smashed Spain 4-0 in the semi-final, converting their goals from 11 shots in a dominant display. Jip Janssen is near the top of the scoring charts too, having also put in 5 goals.

Here's where to watch Germany vs Netherlands and all the 2024 Olympic hockey live streams online from anywhere – including FREE options.
