The Olympics loom at the end of the month, which means it’s time for Team USA to begin its tune-up.
The men’s basketball team begins its five-game exhibition slate on Wednesday, July 10. The Americans will play their five games on three different continents, with exhibitions set for Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi, and London.
LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and Kevin Durant headline Team USA’s star-studded roster. Jrue Holiday and Jayson Tatum represent the reigning NBA champion Celtics, while Timberwolves’ budding star Anthony Edwards is primed for his Olympic debut.
The women’s basketball team is set for an exhibition game against Germany in London on July 23. Their roster is teeming with talent, including Kelsey Plum, Sabrina Ionescu, and Breanna Stewart.
Plum and A’ja Wilson are among the four representatives from the Las Vegas Aces, the reigning WNBA champions.
Here is everything that you need to know about watching the men’s and women’s Olympic teams play before Paris.
All five men’s exhibition games will air live on either Fox or FS1. You can also stream all of Team USA’s games on Fubo, which offers a free trial.
