Canoe slalom and canoe sprint events are part of the Paris 2024 schedule. Here's how to tune in, wherever you are in the world
Looking to watch an Olympic canoeing live stream in 2024? This guide will tell you everything you need to know to tune into the racing as it takes place at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium on the outskirts of Paris.
Olympics live streams are available for free on 9Now in Australia, CBC in Canada and BBC iPlayer in the UK. And if you’re going to be away from home during the competition, you can use a VPN to tune into your usual service from anywhere in the world.
You’ll have to wait until Tuesday 6 August for the canoe sprint events, but the canoe slalom gets underway on Saturday 27 July. The slalom races see competitors carving a path through strategically placed gates on an artificial white-water course – they incur penalties for missing or touching gates.
Australia’s Jessica Fox, a gold medalist in Tokyo three years ago, is chasing the opportunity to become the most decorated canoeist in the history of the Games, competing in the C-1, K-1 and kayak cross events. Czechia’s Jiri Prskavec is also trying to break records, as he tries to become the first man to win three medals in the K-1 category.
Read on to find out how to watch Olympic canoe live streams in Australia, the UK, the US, New Zealand, Canada and beyond. You’ll also find the schedule for today and tomorrow at the end of the article, and you can check out our guides to watching sailing, windsurfing and rowing events.

How to use a VPN to watch Olympics canoeing from anywhere
If you’re travelling overseas and try to watch your domestic coverage as you would at home, you’ll soon encounter a problem – geo-blocking. That’s where the broadcaster prevents you from watching your usual feed from abroad.
There is a way to take your regular broadcaster with you, however. By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it’s back at home. The tech experts at our sister title, TechRadar, have done extensive testing of the best VPN service and Nord VPN consistently comes out on top.
Using a VPN is as easy as one-two-three…
1. Download and install a VPN – as we say, the top choice according to the experts at TechRadar is NordVPN.
2. Connect to the appropriate server location – open the VPN app, hit ‘choose location’ and select the appropriate location, eg: ‘Australia’ for 9Now.
3. Go to the broadcaster’s stream – head to your home broadcaster’s site or app and watch as if you were at home – 9Now for Aussies abroad.
How to watch Olympic canoeing live streams in the UK
If you live in the UK and want to watch every single bit of the action from the Olympic canoeing live you will need to head to Discovery+. Thanks to a special Olympics offer you can subscribe to the Standard plan for £3.99 per month (a huge saving on the usual £6.99) until 11 August. This will get you access to every moment of Paris 2024, including all of the canoeing taking place at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium.
There is also a free option. As is traditionally the case, you’ll be able to watch Olympics live streams for free on the BBC via BBC One, BBC Two, the BBC Red Button and the BBC iPlayer – as long as you have a valid TV Licence. Unfortunately, BBC coverage is limited to two streams at any one time, so if the broadcaster’s eyes are on other sports, you’ll have to watch Olympic canoeing live streams elsewhere.
