Australia’s Boomers will play against Spain for the bronze medal in men’s basketball at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, with the match starting at 12:30am (AEST) on Monday, 22 August (AEST).

If you are wanting to view the Boomers, the match will almost certainly be broadcast live on TV on the Seven Network and will also be available via a live stream online, or using the Olympics on 7 app.

The Seven Network has exclusive rights to televise events from the Rio 2016 Olympic Games and is doing so on all three of its channels – 7, 7TWO, and 7mate.

Given the immense popularity of the Boomers, Seven is certain to televise the match – most likely on 7.

Of course, another option for viewing the game is going to be watching it via a live stream. This is possible to do via one of two different routes.

Your first option is to watch the live stream online – simply go to Seven’s Rio 2016 Olympic Games live-streaming website and select the appropriate channel.

The other choice is that you can instead use the Olympics on 7 app. This gives you access to the same live stream on mobiles or tablets, and is available on both iOS and Android.

The basic live stream service gives you access to the broadcast of all three of Seven’s television channels. Since the Boomers game will likely be televised on one of these three channels, that should be all you need to watch the match.

However it’s worth mentioning that there is also a premium service available that allows increased access to various events.

To unlock the premium service, you can either access it completely for free if you happen to be a Telstra customer, or you can pay a fee of $19.95 to do it.

So in short: if Seven elect to broadcast the Boomers match to one of their channels – and it seems essentially a certainty that they will – you’ll be able to watch it on TV or live stream it via the free service.

If not, you’ll need to access their premium content and live stream it through that method.
