Just two Diamond League events remain until the 2017 IAAF World Championships, which will be held in London from August 4-13. The first of those two comes on Sunday as the Diamond League heads to Africa for the Meeting International Mohammed VI d’Athlétisme de Rabat. Television and streaming information for the meet is listed below.
How to watch:
In USA: U.S. fans, we’ve got great news for you. We’ve learned you can watch this meet and all of the 2017 Diamond League season live on TV without shelling out $69.99 for the NBC Sports Gold Track & Field Pass. NBC has told us that all 14 meets will air live on TV in the U.S., either on NBC, NBCSN or Universal HD.
However, Universal HD is being replaced by the Olympic Channel this weekend. We believe that if you previously subscribed to Universal HD, you’ll now get the Olympic Channel instead, but you should check your local listings to be sure.
This meet will air live in the United States on the Olympic Channel on Sunday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. ET.
If you want to watch online, meets shown on NBC or NBCSN can be streamed live through NBC Sports’ website or the NBC Sports app. The Olympic Channel can also be streamed on OlympicChannel.com or through the Olympic Channel app, but we don’t think you can access the online stream unless your cable company gets the Olympic Channel. The only guaranteed way to watch live online coverage is to buy the NBC Sports Gold Track & Field Pass. The pass, which costs $69.99 for the entire year, provides access to every Diamond League meet, the World Outdoor Championships, major marathons and select other meets (full schedule here). With the pass, you can also watch full event replays online as well as extra live dedicated cameras for Diamond League meets (meaning you can watch field events in their entirety).

In Canada: t the CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) is broadcasting all 14 Diamond League events, and live streaming them also.
In Europe: It was announced that Eurosport would carry the Diamond League live in 2017 except for the meets held in Britain. BBC will have access to highlights for a highlight show. If you have a European IP address, you can watch Eurosport live online here for £3.99/month (yearly subscription) or £5.99/month (one month at a time).
