HOW TO WATCH

There will be several live streaming options for viewers around the globe.

European fans can turn to Eurovision Sport’s All Aquatics‘ stream, which has teamed up with British Swimming to feature Andy Jameson and Jazz Carlin commentating each finals session live.

For American viewers, finals sessions will be available to stream on the Olympic Channel (via NBC Sports), while Canadians can turn to the ever-reliable CBC Sports stream.

Both the U.S. and Canadian streams only have the finals sessions listed. For those interested in watching the prelims, Eurovision Sport will feature the “world feed” during the heats, which will likely not include commentary.

For fans in other regions around the world, check out where you can stream the meet as listed by FINA here.

LIVE RESULTS

Live results will be on Omega Timing, and the “entries book” (AKA psych sheets) can be found there as well.

Official start lists for each event will be listed on Omega prior to each session (Day 1 prelims lists are already out).
