How to Watch the World Cup Live Without Cable

All of the remaining matches will air in the U.S. on Fox in English and on Telemundo in Spanish. Both over-the-air channels are available with an antenna, or you can get Fox with a subscription to Fox One and Telemundo with a Peacock subscription.

Fans can also tune in to the remaining matches with a trial to a live-TV streaming service like DirecTV or Fubo, which both have five-day free trials (or you can string multiple free trials together to catch the rest of the games). These are some of the best options for catching the remaining four games of the World Cup live.
