It's live stream time for Team USA vs Dominican Republic volleyball. It's a skirmish to advance to the semifinals, but all the major issues at hand revolve around injuries. The winner advances to an early Friday morning match, but if you're on the U.S. side, how healthy will you be for this Tokyo Olympics match? [Injured All-Star Jordan Thompson is expected to be available for this quarterfinal. However, setter Jordyn Poulter suffered an ankle injury in the third set against Italy.

If Thompson can return and be in full form for this match, the team definitely has a chance. Nevertheless, four members of the DR team scored in double figures in the win that ousted Japan from the tournament. Priscilla Rivera-Brens (17 points) led the team and will be a threat in the quarterfinals.

The biggest player to watch for Team USA will be Annie Drewes. She started in place of Thompson and led the U.S. with 19 kills and three blocks. Also of note was Michelle Barsh-Hackley (13 kills, 2 blocks, 2 aces).

The Team USA women's volleyball team is ranked No. 1 in the world, but has yet to win gold in volleyball at the Olympics. Therefore, expectations are higher than the net.

Of the services needed for these matches, Peacock helps to watch highlights at night, while Sling TV and Fubo TV help to catch the matches on tape delay. Logging in from the latter helps to watch the games live.

The Olympics are a global event and can be seen in almost every country on earth. However, if you are not in your home country and cannot watch Team USA vs. the Dominican Republic at your usual service, or if you prefer to watch the games in your native language, you are not out of luck.

A virtual private network, or VPN, allows you to access the same streaming services you've already paid for by pretending you're surfing the web from your hometown (or anywhere else not hit by power outages.) VPNs are perfectly legal and inexpensive and easy to use.

I'm not sure which VPN is right for me. After testing a variety of services, the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. It offers great speed and excellent customer service. However, there are other VPN options out there.

The VPN is incredibly easy to use.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we have mentioned, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. select the location you want to connect to with the VPN app. For example, if you are in the US and want to see UK services, select UK from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Go to your preferred website or streaming service and tune in.

This match will be easy to watch live, at least for those in the West. The live stream of Team USA vs. the Dominican Republic will air tonight (tomorrow, August 3, to be exact) at 12 a.m. ET.

Next, find your streaming/cable login, as NBCOlympics.com (the only place to watch this match live) requires a login; NBC will be joining the match already in progress, but no replay time has been announced yet.

Of course, Peacock's nightly coverage will likely include updates.

NBCSN is part of the $35/month Sling TV Blue package, and Olympic watchers will want the Blue package, which also has NBC. Olympic channels are also available as an add-on for $11/month.

Sling is one of the best streaming services, along with the other services we recommend for Olympic viewing: Fubo TV has over 100 channels (more than Sling), including all of the above networks.

To watch all the competitions live, we recommend subscribing to Discovery Plus, which provides coverage of all Tokyo 2020 events.

Discovery is currently offering a free three-day trial of this service, after which a full subscription is available for £6.99 per month or £29.99 per year. Additionally, the service is available for streaming on a number of devices, including Chromecast, Apple TV, Android TV, and apps for iOS and Android.

BBC iPlayer used to be the primary source for all Olympic coverage for the British public, but things have changed.

The BBC does not have a monopoly on Olympic coverage in the UK because the IOC has sold its major European broadcasting rights to the Discovery Network. As a result, the BBC's coverage, while still good, is limited to no more than two live broadcasts at a time.

Americans abroad can use any service they like by logging in via a VPN such as ExpressVPN.

The Team USA vs. Dominican Republic game will likely be broadcast on Sportsnet's SN or SN1 channels. That's because the midnight programming block is described as "scheduled events include baseball and volleyball."

TSN - either TSN1 or TSN4 - also has Olympic coverage, so it could be broadcast at that time.

CBC also shares Olympic coverage, so you may need to channel surf if you can't find it; TLN also airs some Olympic coverage, but judging from their schedule, it will likely be a recorded broadcast.

Again, Americans can use Peacock, Sling, Fubo, and other services by logging in via a VPN such as ExpressVPN.

Downunder, Aussies can watch a live stream of Team USA vs. Dominican Republic for free on the 7Plus network's streaming service; 7Plus's streaming service allows you to watch USA vs. Dominican Republic for free; and 7Plus's streaming service allows you to watch Team USA vs. Dominican Republic for free.
