Your complete guide to watching football at the Tokyo Olympics, including Team GB fixtures and a full TV schedule to enjoy every game live.
The Olympics football tournament is well underway now, with Team GB in the hunt to go all the way and one of their most fierce competitors showing they can be defeated.
Team GB’s women have won both of their opening matches without conceding a goal, while the revered USA team have bounced back from a stunning opening defeat to Sweden.
The USWNT were crushed 3-0 by Sweden in the first game but struck back with a 6-1 win over New Zealand in their second encounter.
Team GB and Sweden are the only two teams confirmed to have qualified for the next round so far and will both feel confident about a deep run in the competition.
In the men’s tournament, Brazil are shaping up nicely with Everton striker Richarlison finding the net three times in his opening display.
If Euro 2020 hasn’t quite bridged the gap between Premier League seasons, there’s plenty of football action to soak up here.
RadioTimes.com brings you the full guide to watching football at the Olympics including Team GB fixtures and a full TV schedule for the women’s and men’s tournaments.
