August 30, 2017
Though a few domestic meets remain, for all intents and purposes, the 2017 track season will come to an end on Friday as the Memorial Van Damme in Brussels hosts the second of two Diamond League finals. With $50,000 on offer for the winner of every event, the fields are stacked and the competition will be fierce. 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 the Olympic Channel (formerly Universal HD).
This meet will air live in the United States on the Olympic Channel from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. ET on Friday.
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, 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).
