The first of the Football gold medals are up for grabs at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games with Sweden taking on Germany.
The match is scheduled to start on Saturday, August 20 at 6:30am (AEST). Pending the need for extra time or a penalty shootout, the match should finish at around 8:30am.
This will follow the Bronze medal match earlier in the day between Brazil and Canada, which will get underway at 2am.
Channel 7 have the exclusive rights to the Olympic Games in Australia across both TV and any digital or pay networks.
To stream the match online in its entirety, you will need to have access to the Olympics on 7 app which allows you to stream every single event of the Olympic Games.

As mentioned, Channel 7 have exclusive access to the Olympic Games. Because this is a gold medal match it should be shown in its entirety on one of the Free-to-Air stations.
To find out which station this will be, you will need to check your local guides closer to the match start time, and keep the remote control handy in case it changes mid-match due to other sports.
Interestingly, neither of these teams finished at the top of their group, with Sweden sweeping through to the finals after finishing third in Group E, while Germany finished equal on points with the Australian Matildas, but finished second on goal difference behind Canada.
