Below we have all the information on how to watch Serbia vs USA at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.

Serbia, the back-to-back reigning champions, secured their place in the last four with a last-gasp Hail Mary. There were just three seconds on the clock when Nikola Jaksic's long-range potshot straight from the restart – Greece having evened the scores moments earlier – pinged off the crossbar and skipped over the line. Little wonder the narrative around this team has turned to destiny.

USA had to do things the hard way, coming back from 5-2 down to beat Australia on penalties after Johnny Hooper's sending off. Hannes Daube and Alex Bowen dragged them back into the game with two goals apiece, but goalkeeper Adrian Weinberg was in inspired form, saving two penalties to allow Marko Vavic to strike the telling blow. Here's where to watch Serbia vs USA and all 2024 Olympic live streams online from anywhere – including FREE options.
