1. Download and install a VPN
We’ve tested all of the major VPN services and we rate ExpressVPN as the absolute best. It’s compatible with all of your devices, supports most streaming services and ranks amongst the fastest. You can even install it on devices like an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox and PlayStation. So for a one-stop shop, you can’t go wrong with Express – but there are more fantastic VPN options out there as well:

The best 3 VPNs for streaming sports online
1. ExpressVPN:  the best all-round VPN for streaming, comes with 30-day money back guarantee and/or 15 months for the price of 12
2. VyprVPN:  a 40% discount and blazing speeds make VyprVPN a great choice for 4K – and during the World Cup, it’s giving you the chance to win a PS4 + FIFA 18

2. Connect to the appropriate server location
Simply open the VPN app, hit ‘choose location’ and select the appropriate location – it’s super easy to do. If in any doubt, just head straight to the UK.

3. Go to the broadcaster’s live stream or TVPlayer.com
If you know exactly what station you’re hoping to catch the game on, then you don’t need us any longer – head straight there. If you’re not sure, just stick with TVPlayer.com in the UK. It will be showing all the games for free. You don’t even have to sign up.

Want to record the game and catch it in your spare time. TVPlayer Plus carries a £5.99 monthly fee but let’s you ‘record’ up to 10 hours of TV to watch at your leisure. And you can take advantage of its 14-day free trial, too.

Football fans in the US can watch the World Cup on Fox Sport as the network is the official broadcaster in the US. The South Korea vs Mexico match will begin at 2pm ET or at 11am PT and will be shown on Fox. If you’re on the go, you can also watch all of Fox’s coverage via its Fox Sports Go app on either Android or iOS.

Cord cutters without a cable subscription don’t have to miss out on the action either, as they can watch the World Cup on streaming services such as Sling or fuboTV.

If you’d rather watch the match for free, you could also use a VPN to change your location and watch another country’s broadcast online. 

If you live in the UK and have a television, you can watch South Korea vs Mexico live on ITV. The network’s coverage of the game will begin at 4pm BST and if you prefer to watch the match on your mobile device you can do so with the ITV Hub app.

If you’re not in the UK then you’ll have to rely on the VPN route and then stream the whole thing live on TVPlayer.com.

If you live in Canada and want to watch the World Cup, CTV is the best option to catch all of the matches as the network is the official broadcaster of the event in Canada. CTV will show the South Korea vs Mexico match on Saturday, June 23 and its coverage will begin at 10:30am ET. You can also watch the match on your mobile devices using the CTV Go app. 

Logging into another country’s broadcast with a VPN is also a great way to catch the game if you don’t have a cable subscription and we’ll walk you through the whole process in the instructions above. 

While Optus Sport may be the official Australian broadcaster of the 2018 World Cup, technical issues with the network’s World Cup coverage have led to a new agreement with SBS. Besides broadcasting all of the country’s national team games, SBS will now simulcast the World Cup until the end of the Group Stage on Friday, June 29. This means that football fans in Australia can now live stream the World Cup for free until we reach the Knockout stage.

SBS will show the South Korea vs Mexico game at 1am AEST on in the early hours of Sunday, June 23.

Sky Sports has won the rights to show all of the World Cup matches in New Zealand and unlike in the UK, you’ll have to be a cable subscriber to watch. Sky Sports will show the South Korea vs Mexico game at 3:00am NZST. You can also catch the game on your mobile devices with the Sky Go app.

As is the case in other countries without a free option to watch the World Cup, you could always tune into another country’s broadcast by using a VPN.
