According to Spaceflight Now [spaceflightnow.com] SpaceX is going to make another attempt at a Starlink 9/BlackSky Global launch today in two hours from when this story goes live: at 1054 EDT (1454 UTC):

Launch site: LC-39A, Kennedy Space Center, Florida

A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket is expected to launch the tenth batch of approximately 60 satellites for SpaceX’s Starlink broadband network, a mission designated Starlink 9. Two Earth observation microsatellites for BlackSky Global, a Seattle-based company, will launch as rideshare payloads on this mission. Moved forward from June 24. Delayed from June 23, June 25 and June 26. Scrubbed on July 8 due to poor weather.

Have been unable, as yet, to find an official SpaceX stream. Here is a link to Everyday Astronaut's Live Stream [youtube.com] on YouTube.
