This guide explains how to watch women's Olympic football live streams when the gold medal is decided today – including details of how you can use a VPN to tune into the game if you're away from home.

Olympics women's football live streams: key info

 FREE Streams: BBC iPlayer (UK), 9Now (Australia), CBC Gem (Canada)

In the UK, Olympics coverage is available free-to-air on BBC iPlayer, or via the Eurosport/Discovery Plus subscription service. There are also comprehensive free options in Australia (9Now) and Canada (CBC Gem), while viewers in the US can tune in via NBC's Peacock streaming platform. 

The USWNT maintained their 100% record in their semi-final, but needed extra time to overcome Germany – who secured the bronze medal in yesterday's third-place play-off. Brazil were rather more emphatic in their last-four game, beating Spain 4-2. That win sets up a potentially fairytale ending for the talismanic Marta, who's set to retire after the Olympics. The Brazil star was suspended for the two knockout games, but now has a chance to sign off her spectacular career with a gold medal in today's final. 

The gold medal match is sure to be a hot ticket, so read on to plan your best tactics for viewing the action – and make sure you know how to watch a women's Olympic football final live stream, whether you're home or away.

Watch women's Olympics football in the UK

The BBC has had a long association with the Olympics and that continues for Paris 2024. You'll be able to watch free 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 the gold medal match isn't among the sports covered today, 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. Until tomorrow 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.

Travelling abroad today? Fans away from home can still watch their usual women's Olympics football live stream as they would back home. All you need is a quality VPN, such as NordVPN, to watch your usual free stream when overseas. Read on to find out how.

Use a VPN to watch from anywhere

If you’re overseas for the gold medal match, 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:

NordVPN, featuring a 30-day, money-back guarantee
