00:00The World Cup is the biggest event in global sports, but figuring out how to actually watch every match can
00:05get messy fast.
00:06There are so many streaming services offering coverage of the event and different channels covering different games.
00:12In this video, I'll break down how to watch it, where to watch it, and even how you might be
00:16able to watch it for free.
00:19Leave a like and subscribe for more how to watch videos. Let's get into it.
00:26Good news here, guys. Throughout the entire tournament, only two channels will be needed to enjoy the World Cup.
00:31Fox and FS1. That's it.
00:34Normally, I would sign off from the video here, but we have a few more important things to share to
00:38help you guys pick out the best way to watch the World Cup for cheap.
00:42For the most complete access to the World Cup, a live TV streaming service that has both channels you'll need
00:47is your best bet.
00:48Fubo TV, Sling TV, and YouTube TV would be my recommendations as options to check out.
00:54They all offer various free trials and limited-time discounts, with Fubo currently being the cheapest with a free trial,
01:00followed by $25 off your first month, bringing a month of coverage to about $46 a month.
01:06YouTube TV will cost more for the first month, but offers a 21-day free trial.
01:10And if you're looking to just catch a game or two, Sling offers $5 day pass options.
01:14That said, Fox games in particular can often be watched for free over the air with an antenna, depending on
01:20your location.
01:21It's worth checking out, especially if you're big on quality.
01:24Plus, Tubi will simulcast the opening ceremonies and two opening matches, including the US Men's Opener, in 4K for free.
01:34It's good news for fans in the UK and Ireland.
01:36They can stream all 104 matches live on BBC and ITV in the UK, and RTE and Virgin Media Player
01:43in Ireland.
01:44Note that you need a TV license to use UK streaming services.
01:47Hablo de Español?
01:48You can stream most games for free on Spain's RTV ePlay.
01:52Even if you aren't in these countries and are traveling abroad, you can still access your usual free stream from
01:57anywhere with a good VPN.
02:00With the right VPN, you can connect back to your home country and stream the World Cup, just like you
02:05normally would.
02:06Not all VPNs are built for streaming, but we've tested plenty, and Norton VPN is a great choice.
02:12It's fast, reliable, and comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee, so you can try it risk-free.

02:28I wasn't even born the last time the US hosted the World Cup, and this will be the first time
02:32ever the World Cup has 48 teams participating for the trophy.
02:36It will definitely be an exciting one to watch.
02:38Let me know if you have any other questions about the best ways to watch the World Cup.
