European Badminton Championships live stream 2024: How to watch it FREE online

The cream of European badminton, headlined by reigning singles champions Carolina Marin and Viktor Axelsen, are in action at Saarlandhalle in Saarbrücken, Germany, for the 30th edition of the prestigious continental tournament. Here's where to watch European Badminton Championships live streams online for free – from anywhere. 

Marin, the current world No.5, enters her favourite tournament in superb form, having secured victory at both the All England Open and the Swiss Open within the last month. The 30-year-old has a remarkable record at the European Badminton Championships. She's won the women's singles six tournaments running, and it's tough to see anybody aside from Denmark's Mia Blichfeldt stop her from making it seven.

By comparison Axelsen, the world's most dominant men's singles player over the best part of the last decade, has lifted the trophy three times. As ever, his main competition comes from his world No.4-ranked compatriot Anders Antonsen, though Christo and Toma Junior Popov always tend to make their mark too.
