Team USA delegations will be participating in both the World Age Group Competition (WAGC) and World Championship (WCH) in Baku, Azerbaijan. The WAGC competition is for Jr Elite 12-18 and 13-19 age groups. The WCH is for Sr Elite only.
Note that this year there is a change to the competition format for the seniors at WCH. In addition to all-around finals with athletes performing their combined routines, there will also be individual exercise finals for both the balance and dynamic routines. This means pair/groups have the chance to qualify to three different finals and earn three different medals! The juniors at WAGC will still compete balance and dynamic routines during qualifications and have only one all-around final with their combined routines.

Live Feed
A live feed and live scoring during the WAGC will be available at the website link below: https://gymtv.online/
Following the WCH will be a little different than following WAGC. Generally, qualifications are live streamed on the same link used for the WAGC and qualification routines are posted on the FIG YouTube channel shortly after they are performed. This year there does not seem to be an official livestream for the qualifications rounds except on local television and some live coverage on the @azegymnastics Instagram account.
Finals are live-streamed on the FIG YouTube channel, but the stream is geoblocked in different regions based on broadcasting rights. If you have trouble accessing the live stream, you can try using a VPN to access the FIG livestream from a different region.
In the USA, broadcasting rights are owned by NBC and finals are usually shown on the Olympic Channel as a time delayed replay.
