Below we have all the information on how to watch Netherlands vs Great Britain at the 2024 Paris Olympics Game from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters, free streams and start times.

If there ever was a point to be made about starting a tournament well, then this is it. Team GB's women's hockey team lost their first two matches in Paris, and indeed their last group game, leaving them with a record of 2 wins from 5 played which was just enough to qualify for the quarter-finals. Their prize for qualifying in fourth place from Pool B? A draw against reigning women's Olympic hockey champions, the Netherlands.

The might Dutch finished top of Pool A and were the only team to win all five of their group games. They've averaged just under four goals per game. That might actually come as a relief to Team GB given that the Dutch beat them 5-1 in the semi-finals in Tokyo. Netherlands vs Great Britain begins at 11.30 ET / 4.30pm BST today.

Here's where to watch Netherlands vs Great Britain, and all the hockey live streams from the 2024 Olympics – including FREE options.
