Teams USA and Serbia have advanced to the men's basketball semi-finals at the 2024 Olympics, and it's shaping up to be an entertaining showdown. Below, we've outlined everything you need to know about how to watch USA vs. Serbia, including free global options.
So far, the United States has gone undefeated at the Paris Olympics. Serbia has only lost one game, a preliminary round match-up to the US, so they've also had a pretty successful run this year compared to 2020, when they failed to qualify for the Summer Olympics. On Tuesday, the US defeated Brazil 122-87, and Serbia beat Australia 95-90, advancing both teams to the semis. The winner of today's game will compete in the final against the victor of the France vs. Germany game.
