A Commonwealth Games mainstay, squash is one of the flagship events of Birmingham 2022, spanning almost the entire duration of the Games itself.

Read on as we explain how to watch a squash live stream at the 2022 Commonwealth Games wherever you are right now -including ways to watch every game for FREE.

Three-time Commonwealth Games gold medallist King reigned supreme on the Gold Coast four years ago, beating England’s Sarah-Jane Perry in the showpiece event of the women’s singles, while Coll was pipped to the top prize by Perry’s compatriot James Willstrop in the men’s singles.
Perry, who comes from Kenilworth just down the road, is sure to have a loyal crowd at her back, but will it be enough to push her that one step further?
Willstrop, who has stepped away from the limelight since that stunning victory over Coll four years ago, will certainly be in contention again, but the biggest threat to the world No.1 may instead come from Joel Makin, another local hero. Follow our guide as we explain all the ways to live stream squash at the2022 Commonwealth Gameswherever you are.
