Although there are only a few days left in the 2024 Olympics and many events have wrapped up, there are still plenty of exciting boxing bouts scheduled over the coming days. If you're hoping to tune in to the men's and women's finals, you've come to the right place. Keep reading to learn where to watch Olympic boxing, along with the start times of some of the most-anticipated bouts.
Although boxing made its Olympic debut more than 100 years ago, it has been a constantly evolving part of the games. Women's boxing didn't become an Olympic event until the London Games in 2012, and it was just eight years ago at the 2016 Olympics that professional boxers were first allowed to participate in the competition.
In the past decade, Cuba and Great Britain have pretty much dominated the Olympic boxing field. At the Tokyo Olympics, Cuba won five medals (four of which were gold), and Great Britain received six (two of which were gold). As most weight classes reach their final rounds, a new slate of medalists will emerge.
Below, we've outlined everything you need to know about how to watch the men's and women's boxing finals. Plus, you can check out our official Olympics streaming guide for info on other events. Olympic boxing wraps up on August 10, and the Olympics officially conclude the following day.
Boxing live streams through Peacock in the US. Subscriptions start at just $7.99 a month and grant you access to every moment at the Olympics. While select major events also air on NBC, USA, E!, and other TV channels, we haven't seen much boxing broadcast in the US, so your best bet will be Peacock.
You can catch boxing and the rest of the Olympics through Eurosport in the UK. Subscriptions through Discovery+ start at £3.99 a month and will grant you access to every can't-miss Olympics moment.
While lots of Olympics coverage is available for free through 9Now in Australia, there doesn't appear to be a ton of boxing available here, so you're best bet to see every bout is through Stan Sport. Subscriptions will cost you about $27 a month, based on the $12 price of a standard subscription and the $15 Sport Add-on, which is required to view the Olympics.
If you'll be traveling outside of your home country during any notable bouts and still want to tune into your subscriptions, you can do so using a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs enable people to alter their device's virtual location so that they can access their usual websites and apps from anywhere in the world. They're also handy tools to upgrade online privacy, even for those who aren't away from home. Since most of the services we've outlined require country-specific payment methods, this option will be best for people who are just traveling away from home at the moment.
Our tried-and-true recommendation is ExpressVPN. It's easy to use, even for those new to VPNs, and has a 30-day money-back guarantee. For additional details, check out our ExpressVPN review.
Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
