This morning, the men’s breaking will take place for the first time at the Olympics. All matches will be broadcast on NBC and E! Network. The event will begin at 9 a.m. CT with preliminary rounds, followed by knockout matches at 1 p.m. CT.
Fans can watch every fight in this event online for free using free trials of Fubo TV and DirecTV Stream. Alternatively, Peacock will stream every round live today.
Team USA will be represented by two breakers in this event as Victor Montalvo and Jeffrey Louis try to win a gold medal today.
Montalvo will be a tough competitor in the group stage as he won the gold medal at the 2022 World Games. Notably, Louis won the silver medal at the 2022 World Games. The two Americans battled each other in a match that ended 3-1, so Louis will look to avenge his loss later today.
