Watch the men's table tennis team final at Olympics 2024 to see if the Swedish team can defy the odds and upset China. Below we have all the information on how to watch men's table tennis team final at the 2024 Paris Olympics from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free streams.

The bare statistics don't exactly look encouraging for Sweden going into Friday's final. Since table tennis was inducted into the Olympics in 1988, China has 17 medals (from a total 31 available) compared to the Scandinavians' four. And the Chinese have won all four of the men's team events since the category's inception at Beijing 2008.

Ma Long has five golds himself, and is part of a team that hasn't yet dropped a match at these games. He's joined by this year's individual gold medallist Fan Zhendong and rising star Wang Chuqin. An intimidating trio.

But Sweden are led by 22-year-old sensation Truls Möregårdh who powered his way to the individual final in Paris. He, Kristian Karlsson and Anton Källberg made an astonishing comeback from 2-0 down in the semi-finals against Japan to make the final two, with Källberg winning a nerve-jangling deciding rubber. The Swedes certainly have the spirit, but can their skills somehow match the formidable Chinese across the table?
