Simone Biles, Sam Mikulak and the nation’s best gymnasts are in Kansas City this week for the 2019 US Gymnastics Championships. Biles and Mikulak, who are each chasing their sixth national all-around title, are the favorites to again take home gold, but there’s still plenty of intrigue at this year’s competition.
Coverage of the 2019 US Gymnastics Championships will be televised live on NBC Sports Network (Thursday Men Day 1, Friday Women Day 1, Saturday Men Day 2) and NBC (Sunday Women Day 2). But if you don’t have cable, you can watch all the coverage live on your computer, phone, or streaming device via one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:
NBC (live in most markets) and NBC Sports Network are two of 95-plus live TV channels included in the main FuboTV bundle, which is largely tailored towards sports.

2019 US Gymnastics Championships Preview
A year ago, Simone Biles claimed gold in every event to claim her fifth individual all-around nationals title. On the men’s side, Samuel Mikulak also took his fifth all-around gold. This year, Biles and Mikulak will each attempt to break a three-way tie with Blaine Wilson for the most all-time all-around nationals titles.
In July, Biles won gold at the US Classic, her 19th consecutive all-around victory, a streak that’s spanned six years.
“I’m very satisfied,” the 22-year-old said, according to NBC Sports. “I’m a little sad that I went out of bounds on floor [exercise], but overall I feel like there are improvements to be made.”
Riley McCusker, who claimed team gold with Biles at the 2018 world championships, took second behind Biles at the US Classic. The 18-year-old won gold in the uneven bars and silver on the balance beam.
“I didn’t come in expecting anything, just to take it one skill at a time,” McCusker said, according to The Associated Press. “It was great to start off and hit a beam routine, because that’s always a nerve-wracking event to start on, so I was glad I did what I did every day in the gym.”
