The Paris Olympics are almost over, but the women's soccer final is still to come. This year, the United States and Brazil will compete for the gold. We've combed through all the watch options to identify everything you need to know about how to watch USA vs. Brazil, including what time the game kicks off and free streaming options.
The United States Women's National Team (USWNT) has already advanced further than it did at the Tokyo Olympics when the team was knocked out in the semifinals, ultimately leading to a bronze medal. The team is vying to regain some of its former glory, like the 2004 to 2012 stretch when it took home the Olympic gold three times in a row. Two of those three finals saw the USWNT go up against Brazil, which has yet to earn a gold.
The USWNT has gone undefeated so far at this year's Olympics, while Brazil lost two games in the first round. During the semis, Brazil defeated Spain 4-2, and the US squeaked past Germany (who went on to win the bronze) with one goal. Mallory Swanson of the US and Gabi Portilho of Brazil have been particularly influential stat leaders on their respective teams during this year's Olympic games.
