How to Watch the FIFA Women’s World Cup for Free in Different Countries
Streaming
Download the FOX Sports Go app and you can stream Women’s World Cup action live. The only catch is a rather big one: You must have a pay TV subscription to use the app. Non subscribers have the option of paying for a different app, Fox Soccer2Go, which costs $19.99 per month or $100 for a year.
TV: Fox Sports 1 (U.S. — English), NBC Universo (U.S. — Spanish), RDS, TSN (Canada), BBC Two (U.K.), SBS One (Australia)
Online (U.S.): If your TV provider has Fox Sports 1, you can catch the game for free on Fox Sports Go, assuming they give you access to the service. There’s also Fox Soccer 2 Go, a paid service that requires no TV subscription. An online Spanish language option is provided by Telemundo’s streaming service.

Streaming Pay TV Package
Perhaps the arrival of the Women’s World Cup is all the justification you need to sign up for PlayStation Vue, the cloud-based service from Sony that allows subscribers to stream dozens of pay TV channels without a cable bill, through a game console system. UnlikeSling TV, the Dish Network’s $20 streaming service that includes ESPN and other pay TV channels but doesn’t come with FOX pay channels or any major networks, PlayStation Vue packages have most of the networks (including FOX) and sports pay TV channels like NBC Sports and FOX Sports.
The price of such a package starts at around $50 a month. But if you live in Chicago, New York City, or Philadelphia, you can test out the service with a free seven-day trial. Speaking of which, for the time being, the service is only available in Chicago, New York City, and Philadelphia. Here’s the list of channels you’ll get with a package inNew York City.
Watch in Spanish
Telemundo, a free over-the-air station in much of the country, is broadcasting 10 World Cup matches in Spanish—including the June 9 Colombia-Mexico match and the June 10 and France vs. Colombia on June 13. Most other matches can be viewed with Spanish commentary via NBC Universo, a pay TV channel, or the NBC Deportes website or app. CORRECTION: An earlier version of this story stated that viewers needed to sign in with a pay TV account to stream via NBCDeportes.com. But it looks like this step is unnecessary. We were able to successfully stream the Sweden-Nigeria match on the site in Spanish on Monday afternoon without signing in or providing proof of a pay TV subscription.
Listen on Satellite Radio
There will be no traditional radio broadcast of the tournament in the U.S., but Sirius XM subscribers will be able to listen to channel 94 to follow all of USA’s matches with live play-by-play simulcasts of the FOX Sports broadcasts.
