How to watch Basketball at the Paris Olympics 2024: Full schedule, channel and live stream

The much-awaited Paris Olympics 2024 is about to start in a few days. With some of the best basketball stars participating, this edition of the Summer Games is expected to be the most exciting in a long time. LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Nikola Jokic, Victor Wembanyama and others will vie for the ultimate national honor in what is scheduled to be the best international basketball tournament in a long time.

But for those who can only hope to watch the best of the best superstars from the NBA and international leagues go at each other, here is the list of mediums that will broadcast the games live.
