Watch taekwondo at Olympics 2024, eight new champions to be decided at the Grand Palais over four days of combat. Below we have all the information on how to watch taekwondo at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games from anywhere in the world with details on worldwide TV channels, broadcasters and free streams.

After a thrilling third day where 18-year-old Hungarian Viviana Marton won a surprise gold medal in the women's 67kg and Tunisia's Firas Katoussi was the dominant victor in the men's 80kg, two final Olympic titles will be decided on Saturday.

And with neither of Tokyo's +67kg or +80kg champions returning to defend their titles, it's all up for grabs.

France's own Althéa Laurin is hoping to give the home crowd something to cheer when she steps into the arena and, having won world championship gold last year, is a genuine hope for a last gasp push up the medals table. Lee Da-bin (who hails from South Korea, which is the founding country of Taekwondo) will be out to upgrade her silver from last time, while Turkey's Nafia Kuş is another force to be reckoned with in this weight class.

The men's heavyweight category is looking near impossible to call. Throw any of the big names in the air – Ivan Šapina (Croatia), Carlos Sansores (Mexico), Caden Cunningham (Great Britain) – and it's easy to imagine any one of them landing at the top of the podium. But Ivory Coast's knows what it requires to taste gold, having won the 80kg category eight years ago.

Here's where to watch taekwondo and 2024 Olympics live streams online from anywhere – including FREE options.
