The USA will play against Serbia for the gold medal in men’s basketball at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, with the match starting at 4:45am (AEST) on Monday, 22 August (AEST).

If you are wanting to view the match, it will potentially 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.

It’s not clear at this point whether or not the full match will be televised, so the most reliable 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.

However since the full game may not be televised in full, you may need to purchase the premium service, which 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 match to one of their channels, 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.
