How to watch:
In USA: Unfortunately, since this meet goes up against European soccer it will only be streamed live on the internet in the US (and not be on TV live). (We believe the rest of the non USA Diamond League meets in 2016 are on beIN Sports TV) . It will air live on beIn Sports Connect from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. ET on Saturday. You can stream it live through beIN Sports Connect (if you have a a cable susbscription with BeInSports).
All of the cable providers in the US allow subscribers of beIN Sports access to beIN Sports Connect except for Xfinity/Comcast. It’s worth noting that beIN Sports Connect is not part of the Slingtv package. We have discovered you can purchase beIN Sports Connect over the Internet for $19.99. It’s supposed to be for Canadians only but we went to beINSPORTSCONNECT.ca and put in Toronto as our hometown and used by US billing address and we now are subscribers for $19.99 a month. It doesn’t stream on chrome though. You need firefox or explorer.
