Lichess Broadcasts is the tournament coverage section of Lichess, providing free, real-time display of games from major over-the-board events. When a top tournament is in progress, games are typically available on Lichess within seconds of each move being played, displayed on interactive boards with live Stockfish analysis.

The platform broadcasts hundreds of events per year, from world championship matches and supertournaments to national championships and open events. Each broadcast includes player information, round schedules, and standings. Games are automatically archived after the event, building a growing database of professionally broadcast OTB games.

Broadcasting on Lichess is free for tournament organizers who use the Lichess Broadcaster app. Following broadcasts requires no account. It is one of the best ways to follow top-level chess in real time without a subscription.
