When Will Basketball Be Featured at the Paris Games
Basketball usually starts early at the Olympics. In 2024, it started on the second official day, Saturday, July 27th. And the matchups ran to the very end. The men had their final games on Aug 10th and the women had their final game on Aug 11th.
Here is a list of today’s games:

What Channels Will Olympics Basketball Be Played On
NBCUniversal has been the home of the Olympics since 2000 and will continue so until at least 2032.
So the Olympic basketball games will air on a number of the NBCUniversal channels. The main ones are USA and NBC itself (especially for the medal rounds). Some will air on other channels like E! and CNBC. Peacock will feature coverage of most events. Many events that are only on Peacock are shown slightly later on the live TV channels.
How Can You Watch All the Olympics Basketball Action
Streaming services really do offer the best way to watch the Olympics. They are cheaper and include better features (like DVRs included with most plans). If you only care about the Olympics, you can sign up with Peacock.
Below are the live TV streaming services that will allow you to watch all the Team USA basketball games along with most others — and much more.
Fubo
Fubo is a great general streaming service with a focus on sports with a huge amount of extra content for the Olympics. Its basic plan offers all the channels you need: NBC, USA, E, and CNBC. In total, you get over 150+ channels, which include all the local ones.
In addition to the NBCUniversal channels, Fubo offers another 50+ sports channels for $79.99/month. You also get unlimited cloud DVR and the ability to stream on up to 10 TVs/devices at the same time. And if you upgrade to the Elite plan, you can watch NBC in 4K.
If you aren’t sure, you can use Fubo for 7 days free of charge to see if it’s as good as it sounds.

Hulu + Live TV
Hulu is an iconic on-demand streaming service, which allows users to watch recently aired TV shows any time they like. But their live TV streaming service, Hulu + Live TV, adds 95+ live channels to this for a very appealing package for just $82.99/month.
Get Hulu + Live TV for $59.99 Monthly
Hulu + Live TV offers a good general selection of channels that is comparable to better cable plans. These include all the ones you want to watch Olympic basketball: NBC, CNBC, and USA.
You can stream the Olympics on up to 2 TVs/devices at once with Hulu Live. And you get an unlimited cloud DVR.
Hulu + Live TV offers a free 3-day trial so what are you waiting for?
Sling TV
Sling TV offers a great service for very little money. The Sling Blue plan provides you with 40+ quality channels for only $40.00/month. And these channels just happen to include the main ones you need to watch Olympic basketball: NBC, USA, and E! For $6/mo extra, you can get the News Extra add-on, which includes CNBC.
If you want, you can get the Sports Extra add-on ($11/mo), which provides almost a dozen other sports channels including NBA TV.
Sling TV also comes with 50 hours of cloud DVR and the ability to stream on up to 3 TVs/devices.
There is no trial with Sling TV. However, they offer you the first month (with no contract) for 50% off.
Other Ways to Watch Olympic Basketball
Depending on just how big a fan you are, you may find some of these options to work as well for you:
- Antenna: If your primary interest is the metal rounds of the Olympic basketball competition, you will do well with just NBC. And being an OTA channel, you can probably pick it up with an antenna — in HD!
- DIRECTV STREAM: To get all the channels airing the Olympics, you will need the Entertainment plan for $86.99/month. It’s a complete cable replacement plan with over 90+ channels (including HBO MAX for the first year) and the streaming ability on unlimited TVs/devices at once.
- YouTube TV: A solid streaming service with all the channels airing Olympic events for $72.99/month.
Smart TVs and Other Devices to Live Stream Olympic Basketball
One of the best things that’s happened over the last few years is how compatible streaming services have become. All of the major services have apps that work on the vast majority of devices that are used today.
Fubo, Hulu, and Sling TV support LG and Samsung TVs in addition to all those that have Android TV built in. They also support the HDMI-connected devices like Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, and Roku.
Do you want to stream to your phone or tablet? No problem. Android and iOS (iPhone, iPad) are both fully supported. You can also use these devices to cast to your smart TV or Chromecast device.
And for the gamers out there, these services support streaming on the Xbox. Hulu supports the PlayStation and Nintendo Switch. And VR fans might want to check out Sling TV, which supports the Oculus.
