How to watch the World Combat Games for free

There are a lot of broadcasters and streaming services offering coverage of this year's event, but anyone can livestream the 2023 World Combat Games for free on the Olympic Channel or via the official Olympics app for mobile devices.

The catch here is that "territorial restrictions may apply." The livestream on the Olympic Channel and app will not be available from all around the world due to geo-restrictions.
