How to watch Washington Spirit players in the 2024 Paris Olympics

The summer Olympics are upon us, and six Washington Spirit players are in France preparing to represent their countries on the soccer field. To help YOU prepare, we’ve collected all the details about the group stage matches featuring your Washington Spirit. Warning: you might need two screens if you want to catch every one of their games.

All matches are available on NBCSports.com with a cable subscription and on Peacock. Select matches are also airing on USA Network and Universo.

United States

The United States Women’s National Team has the highest number of Washington Spirit players, with Casey Krueger and Trinity Rodman on the roster and Croix Bethune and Hal Hershfelt available as alternates. With this year’s new alternate rules, either could see game time if another player is injured for a match. The U.S are in a tough group, facing Germany, Australia, and Zambia.

For the USWNT, the Washington Spirit are hosting game watch parties at different bars in D.C., some coinciding with Summer Cup watch parties. We’ve gone ahead and included the locations in the chart.

Knock-out rounds

Wow–soccer at the Olympics is off to a great start (not). Two hour delay for VAR in one match. And a scandal involving the Canadian women. Asst. Coach and analytics person caught flying a drone over the New Zealand practice. Asst. and analytics person are sent home and Canada’s coach promises not to coach the Canadian team when they play NZ. Ugh!

USA men lose to France 3-0 but that’s to be expected. France is talented and deep and playing at home.
