Your guide to watching the America's Cup 2024 on TV and live stream, plus the full schedule.
The 37th annual Louis Vuitton America's Cup gets under way this week as Great Britain and New Zealand go head to head.
The defender Emirates Team New Zealand will face INEOS Britannia after the latter won the Louis Vuitton Cup to book their spot in the America's Cup.
Ben Ainslie, who is the most successful sailor in Olympic history, is the INEOS Britannia skipper and they have never won the competition before. It's the first time Great Britain are making an appearance in 60 years and they could become the fifth nation to win it all following in the footsteps of Switzerland, Australia, the United States and New Zealand.
The format of the race is winner takes all and it's a first-to-seven match. Each race is worth one point and the winner will defend the 38th America's Cup.
The crews will sail at Port Olimpic in Barcelona, which is a 3.2km course. The boats must stay within a 0.9km width restriction or face a penalty if they fail to do so.
