A Commonwealth Games mainstay, squash is one of the flagship events of Birmingham 2022, spanning almost the entire duration of the Games itself. It's really five tournaments - 10 if you count the Plate competitions - rolled into one enormous festival of squash, and New Zealanders Paul Coll and Joelle King have top billing. Read on as we explain how to watch a squash live stream at the 2022 Commonwealth Games wherever you are right now - including ways to watch every game for FREE.
Dates: Friday, July 29 - Monday, August 8
Venue: University of Birmingham Hockey and Squash Centre, Birmingham

Three-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist King reigned supreme on the Gold Coast four years ago, beating England's Sarah-Jane Perry in the showpiece event of the women's singles, while Coll was pipped to the top prize by Perry's compatriot James Willstrop in the men's singles.
Perry, who comes from Kenilworth just down the road, is sure to have a loyal crowd at her back, but will it be enough to push her that one step further?
Willstrop, who has stepped away from the limelight since that stunning victory over Coll four years ago, will certainly be in contention again, but the biggest threat to the world No.1 may instead come from Joel Makin, another local hero. Follow our guide as we explain all the ways to live stream squash at the 2022 Commonwealth Games wherever you are.

Can I watch squash at the Commonwealth Games in the US?
Sadly, there's no confirmed broadcaster for the 2022 Commonwealth Games in the US at the time of writing. The only alternative is to use one of the best VPN service providers to tap into coverage from another nation, as described above.
The software is generally ideal for this as it allows you to change your IP address and appear to be in a completely different location - and all through a safe, encrypted connection. But do bear in mind that most paid streaming services do require a credit card based in the same country as the service.
