How to watch US-France in Women’s Basketball Olympics gold medal game for free

Yesterday, the Team USA men’s basketball team won their fifth Olympic gold medal in a row. Today, it’s the women’s turn. Can they make it a historic eighth gold medal in a row?

These Paris Olympics are the first time in the history of the games that both basketball finals are being played by the same countries. That’s right — to take home the gold, Team USA will first have to get past host country France.

The gold medal game is actually a rematch of the 2012 Olympics’ gold medal game, where Team USA emerged victorious. During the 2020 Olympics, France fell just short of the final, winning the bronze medal.

The US women’s basketball team is just one win away from gold. Below, we outlined everything you need to know to tune in to USA vs. Australia at the 2024 Olympics.
