May 24 update: The World Relays are also on Universal Sports via DishWorld. For today’s 4×800 final, the final is right before the live broadcast starts at 6:30 pm eastern. We assume they will show the 4×800 race on the broadcast, but if you want to watch it without knowing the results, avoid the internet for a little while.
Track and Field fans in the United States wanting to watch a stream of the 2014 Diamond League live online now have options and can watch the 2014 Diamond League for free if they get Universal Sports via cable/satellite or for $10/a month live or on demand via DishWorld if they don’t.
