USA vs Germany live stream

Date: Sunday, July 28


Kick-off: 8pm BST / 3pm ET / 12pm PT / 5am AEST (Monday)
FREE STREAMS:  9Now (Australia), CBC Gem (Canada), BBC iPlayer (UK)

The USWNT kickstarted their Olympic campaign in perfect fashion with a 3-0 win over Zambia. A Mallory Swanson brace helped the Stars and Stripes to their first win at a major tournament under new manager Emma Hayes.

Germany, meanwhile, secured a dominant 3-0 win over Australia in their tournament opener to underline their credentials as one of the most powerful forces in the competition this summer

Kick-off is at 8pm BST. Make sure you know how to watch women's Olympics football wherever you are, and for full fixture information, head to our complete schedule for Olympics 2024 football.

Watch USA vs Germany in the UK

You'll be able to watch free Olympics live streams throughout the Games across the BBC's terrestrial channels, the Red Button and the BBC iPlayer streaming service – though you will need a valid TV Licence to tune in. 

Unfortunately, the BBC doesn't have full rights to the Olympics, and is limited to broadcasting two streams at any one time. In other words, if USA vs Germany isn't one of the lucky events chosen you'll need to go elsewhere. 

For the most comprehensive service in the UK you'll need to subscribe to Eurosport and Discovery Plus, who are offering 3,800 hours of live coverage across 55 streams. Between now and 11 August you can take advantage of a special Olympics offer to subscribe to the Discovery Plus Standard plan. This gives you access to all the Olympics action for just £3.99 per month, a massive saving on the usual £6.99. Even better, new customers will be able to take advantage of the discounted price for the rest of the year.

Use a VPN to watch United States vs Germany from anywhere

If you’re travelling abroad for USA vs Germany then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal when you know you'd have access back home.

But help is at hand. All you need to do to navigate those geoblocking restrictions is buy yourself a VPN (Virtual Private Network) – assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, of course. 

A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is also entirely encrypted – and that's a result.

There are plenty of good-value options out there, but NordVPN scores particularly highly for the Olympics:
