Football at the Olympics: Team GB fixtures and TV schedule
Your complete guide to watching football at the Tokyo Olympics, including Team GB fixtures and a full TV schedule to enjoy every game live.
Football at the Olympic Games has taken a twist as Great Britain have fallen out of the running to be crowned champions at Tokyo 2020.
The women's team were tipped to go far in the tournament but were dumped out of the Games after a 4-3 extra-time defeat at the hands of Australia who have set up a clash with Sweden.
There are still big games to go in the women's tournament, while the men's knockout rounds are just getting started with Brazil among the favourites.
If Euro 2020 hasn't quite bridged the gap between Premier League seasons, there's plenty of football action to soak up here.
RadioTimes.com brings you the full guide to watching football at the Olympics including Team GB fixtures and a full TV schedule for the women's and men's tournaments.
- Viewers who are looking to watch each and every sport from the Tokyo Olympics 2020, you can tune in for full coverage via online streaming platform discovery+
