How to Watch the FIFA World Cup 2022 for Free?

Posted by Bam Margera on December 24th, 2022

In the first few weeks of the tournament, there have been a lot of surprises, like Saudi Arabia's win over Argentina, Belgium's elimination, and No. 1 Brazil's elimination by Croatia. 

Argentina, France, and England are still the favorites to make it to the quarterfinals, but Morocco, who beat Spain in the round of 16, is showing that ranking isn't everything at the World Cup. The Netherlands beat the U.S. in their first round of 16 matches on Saturday, which is bad news for us Americans.

Below, we've listed the best ways to watch the premier broadcast 프리미어중계 of the World Cup online in 2022, including how to get a free live stream of the World Cup online using a VPN.

How to Use a VPN to Watch the World Cup Online for Free?

The best way to watch the World Cup online for free is to use a virtual private network (VPN) like ExpressVPN or NordVPN to access a free live stream in another country.

VPNs are browser add-ons or apps that "trick" your device into thinking it's in another region. This lets you access websites, streaming services, or different versions of U.S. streaming services (like Netflix) that are only available in other areas. VPNs are safe, reliable, and easy to use. The best VPNs are also not expensive.

To watch the World Cup for free with a VPN, first sign up for ExpressVPN or NordVPN and add it to your web browser. The two VPNs are very similar, and both works perfectly for getting legal, free live streams of the World Cup. 

ExpressVPN is slightly faster, and Nord VPN has more servers (i.e., more locations you can connect to). Here, you can read a full comparison of the two best VPNs.

Once your VPN is set up, change the location to somewhere in the United Kingdom. You will be able to watch every World Cup game in English for free on BBC iPlayer or ITV Hub. You can also set your location to somewhere in Australia and use the country's SBS streaming platform to watch every game for free. Bonus: a VPN will also help you watch Premier League games for free.

Peacock 

Peacock, NBC's streaming service, will show all 64 World Cup games live. The first 12 matches could be watched for free with a Peacock subscription, but the rest of the games require a .99-per-month Premium subscription. But there is a catch with Peacock: their live streams of the World Cup come from Telemundo Deportes, so the commentary is in Spanish.

FuboTV

Getting a live TV streaming service like fuboTV is a great way for people in the U.S. to watch the World Cup online with English commentary. The two U.S. channels that show English World Cup games, Fox and FS1, are both part of fuboTV's large list of channels, so you can watch every game live online.

FuboTV costs .99 per month, but you can try it for free for seven days before you have to pay. Plus, you get 1000 hours of cloud DVR storage, which is great for catching the few World Cup games that happen early in the morning, U.S. time.

Sling

Sling is another great live TV streaming service that will let you watch the World Cup live online. Sling is the cheapest live TV streaming service that still gives you a tonne of popular channels. It costs a month, but the first month is only right now. The Blue package of the service has 41 channels, including Fox and FS1, so you can watch the World Cup live online.
