Watch women’s sports this weekend! Surfing and 3x3 basketball
I usually only watch sports during the Olympics, but I recently decided to keep up with some women’s sports year round.
I’m a newbie but wanted to share in case anyone else wants to watch!
Two events I’m interested in this weekend:
World surf competition in Portugal
The website is fantastic, you can watch for free in browser with minimal ads. They censor scores on the site to avoid spoilers and you can choose between full and condensed replays of heats.
U.S. women’s 3x3 basketball
I really enjoyed this sport at the Olympics, much more fast paced than regular basketball.
I missed the beginning of the season, but the semifinals are Sunday night and the finals are Monday night.
Edit: to watch for free, you can sign up for a free trial of YouTube Live TV. If you cancel your trial immediately you’ll still have free access for the next 10 days (I just tested this). Search for “unrivaled”, then click to add the games to your playlist. This will set them to record and save to your playlist so you can watch them at your leisure afterwards.

Thank you for sharing. I've never been a big fan of watching traditional basketball, or most sports, but 3x3 is much more engaging. Basketball in the Olympics is the most boring sport, because the medal table is usually a forgone conclusion.. but 3x3 is much more variable because of the different skill set required and because the "big names" tend to gravitate toward regular basketball.
I agree, 3x3 is really fun to watch! I edited the post to include info on how to watch them upcoming semifinals and finals for free, if you don’t already have a way to watch.
Holy shit how did I miss this? I really got into following women’s surfing at the Olympics and was wondering how I could watch more of it. I’ll have to see if I missed the entire competition…I hope not but hopefully I’ll have more of an eye on it in the future
