USA vs Japan: Times, how to watch 2024 WBSC Premier12 Super Round on TV and online
Chasing their first ever title in the WBSC Premier12, the United States begin the Super Round with a clash against defending champions Japan, the top-ranked team in the international baseball competition.
Which teams have qualified for the Super Round?
Together with the USA and Japan, Chinese Taipei and Venezuela have also reached the four-way Super Round, in which the quartet of teams will all play each other once over the next three days. The top two finishers in this round-robin phase will contest Sunday’s championship final, and the third and fourth-placed teams will go head to head for the bronze medal in the hours before the gold-medal Game.
Japan is hosting the Super Round and Finals in Tokyo, after the 12-team pool stage was held in Mexico and Taiwan.
United States vs Japan: Super Round game preview
The USA, who reached the final four by finishing second in Group A, beat Japan in the Super Round five years ago, in the Premier12’s most recent edition.
That 4-3 win was not enough to help the Americans qualify for the 2019 championship final, however; after coming fourth in the Super Round, the USA had to settle for a place in the bronze-medal game, which they lost to Mexico.
Japan, meanwhile, made it to this year’s Super Round by winning Group B with a perfect record. Their 2019 defeat to the USA was the last time they lost a Premier12 game; since then, the Japanese have put together eight victories on the spin in the tournament.
When does United States vs Japan start?
The United States and Japan meet at Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan, on Thursday November 21, 2024. The clash is scheduled to begin at 7:00 p.m. local time; in the US, that’s 5:00 a.m. ET/2:00 a.m. PT.
How can I watch United States vs Japan?
Viewers in the US will be able to watch the game on the streaming service DAZN, which has the exclusive broadcasting rights to the 2024 Premier12.
