Australia were devastated to miss out on a spot in the Basketball World Cup Final on Friday night, but the Boomers still could take home a medal if they defeat France today.
Want to live stream the match? Or watch it on TV? You’re in the right place – we have everything here you need to know to do exactly that.
Under a new TV deal with Basketball Australia and the NBL, the only way to watch this Boomers pre-World Cup match will be through SBS.
They will broadcast the game on their secondary channel, SBS Viceland. This can be found on Channel 32.
The coverage will begin at 7:30pm (AEST), with tip-off likely to be delayed by around 20 minutes from the scheduled time to allow a pre-game show, as it was against Canada in Perth last weekend.
If you’d prefer to follow the game online, you’ll be able to through SBS on Demand. Their coverage will be exactly the same as what’s used on TV, and the service is free to use – all you’ll need to do is sign up with a valid email address.
Kayo Sports customers will also be able to stream the match via that platform. If you’re not already a Kayo customer, the service offers extensive sports live streaming options from $25 per month.

These two nations both produced sizzling basketball throughout the tournament, and will both of them consider themselves unlucky not to be playing off for the gold medal.
Australia lead Spain for most of their semi-final but allowed their rivals to level the scores both at the end of regulation time, and the first overtime period, before pulling away comfortably in the second overtime.
France, who lost narrowly to the Boomers earlier in the tournament, had a remarkable win against tournament favourites the USA in the quarter-finals, but couldn’t back that up in the semis.
