Basketball will again be one of the most popular sports at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, with 11 other nations in both the men’s and women’s tournaments again out to stop the USA.
Australia’s Boomers and Opals have both qualified for the Olympics, with the program to kick-off on July 27 and run until just hours before the closing ceremony when it finishes with the women’s gold medal game.
Most of Australia’s group stage games are in a friendly time slot for domestic audiences, although there are no guarantees that will continue during the knockout stage, with matches played overnight.
Here is the full Basketball schedule for the 2024 Olympic Games.
All times are AEST. For those in South Australia or the Northern Territory, subtract 30 minutes. For those in Western Australia, subtract two hours.
