Top-ranked USA meet second-ranked reigning World Cup champions Spain in a blockbuster quarter-final. They're familiar foes at the Olympics, with La Roja painfully aware of just how lopsided the rivalry is, having lost all three of the gold medal games they've contested (1984, 2008, 2016) - each of them to Team USA. Read on as we explain how to get a USA vs Spain live stream and watch the 2020 Olympics basketball quarter-final online from anywhere - and where you can watch absolutely free of charge.
Kevin Durant is walking on air, having become the all-time top scorer in US men's Olympic basketball history in the romping 119-84 win over the Czech Republic. The victory secured that precious final seed, which means Gregg Popovich doesn't need to worry about any of the group winners yet.
Spain, however, are the best of the rest. Sergio Scariolo's men finished second in Group C, behind Luka Doncic's Slovenia, and are led by Ricky Rubio, who was one of the most impressive players in the group stage, averaging 21.3 points and 7.3 assists per game.
There's no precious metal on the line, but quarterfinal should still be great game, so read on as we explain how to watch USA vs Spain online and live stream Olympics basketball from anywhere today.
How to watch the men's basketball in the US - and for free
USA vs Spain tips off at 12.40am ET / 9.40pm PT on Monday night/Tuesday morning, so depending on which coast you're on you may have a late night in store.
The game is being shown exclusively on NBC's new-ish streaming platform Peacock TV, which means there's a way to watch the Dream Team for FREE!
Peacock costs just $4.99 a month for an ad-supported service that gets basketball fans all of the US Men's Olympics basketball games, plus loads more premium sports coverage, TV shows, and movies.
Alternatively, you can pay $10 a month for commercial-free coverage.
But best of all, Peacock even offers a FREE 7-day trial you can take advantage of, which means you'll be able to watch at least one Team USA game for free - play your cards right and it could be more.
If you've already hopped on the Peacock bandwagon but are abroad when USA vs Spain is on, don't forget that you can still tune in like you're at home with the help of a good VPN. We explain in more detail below.
Who has a free Olympics basketball live stream?
One of the best things about the Olympics is that loads of the action, including the basketball, is being shown for free around the world. Those living in Australia have the benefit of Channel 7's free-to-air coverage for example, which can be live streamed on 7Plus.
In the UK, plenty of Olympics action is being shown for free on the BBC and BBC iPlayer, though the broadcaster's coverage varies, and it isn't 100% clear which basketball games it will be showing.
How to watch Olympics basketball from outside your country
You should be able to find an Olympics basketball live stream (whether paid or free) in whatever country you happen to be in. But you may find that: a) your usual domestic coverage is geo-blocked when overseas; or b) that your place of work or college has blocked the ability to watch online where you are.
There's a really easy way to solve those issues, thankfully. By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer, phone or tablet into thinking that it's somewhere completely different. That way you can enjoy your usual coverage without having to find an illegal stream.

How to watch USA vs Spain FREE: live stream Olympics basketball in Canada
Basketball fans based in Canada can watch USA vs Spain through CBC Sports, but brace yourself for a late night if you're near the East Coast, with tip-off scheduled for 12.40am ET / 9.40pm PT on Monday night/Tuesday morning.
It's being shown through the channel's standalone streaming service, and better still, CBC Gem offers a 1-month FREE trial. After that, a subscription costs CA$4.99 per month.
In fact, if you're really lucky, this one may even end up being shown completely free on the CBC website and across its apps for iOS, Android, Apple TV, Android TV, select Smart TVs and Amazon Fire TV Stick. So double-check there before you sign up to anything.
Sportsnet and TSN are also offering plenty of Olympics coverage, but at the time of writing it isn't totally clear if either of them will be showing USA vs Spain.

Not only does the 7plus service have a massive range of Tokyo Olympics coverage, you can also watch it on a whole host of devices like PCs, Macs, iOS, Android, Fetch TV, Apple TV, PS4, Chromecast and more.

How to watch USA vs Spain: live stream Olympics basketball in the UK
Basketball fans based in the UK need to prepare for an extremely late night or a very early morning, with the USA vs Spain game set to tip off at 5.40am BST in the early hours of Tuesday morning.
In previous years, all the Olympic action you could handle would have been on the BBC, but coverage has been scaled back in 2021 and the schedules suggest it's unlikely to be showing this game (although we'd suggest double checking on the online BBC iPlayer first).
Discovery+ and Eurosport are your best options for watching Team USA vs Spain, along with all the rest of the Olympics basketball action.
Each one costs £6.99 per month or a bargain £29.99 for a whole year. And if you want to see just how comprehensive the coverage is (spoiler alert: very!) then there's also a three-day free trial you can take advantage of.
If you’re out of the UK for the 2020 Olympic Games, make sure you install a VPN so you can continue accessing UK streaming services from anywhere - whether that's on the BBC, Discovery+ or Eurosport.
