  • Team USA Basketball opens the Olympics on July 28 vs. Serbia.
  • USA’s second group game is a rematch against South Sudan.
  • A gold medal for Team USA would be their eighth in the last nine Olympics.

In search of their fifth straight basketball gold medal, Team USA begins their campaign on July 28. 

The first game of Team USA’s schedule is arguably the most intriguing. To open, they’ll face Nikola Jokic and Serbia in Lille, France. 

To close out the group stage, Team USA will battle South Sudan, who nearly captured an upset as 43.5-point underdogs in a tune-up match, and Costa Rica. 

Here’s a look at the Team USA basketball schedule along with Olympics 2024 odds at the BetMGM online sportsbook.
