Do you know any good paid or free services to watch the upcoming FIFA World Cup online?

Yesterday I used a VPN (TunnelBear) + ITV (UK) app to watch the Roland Garros final.<p>For the WC I will download whichever TV channel app that streams the football and use it with a VPN in order avoid geo blocking. I will do this for whichever game I can&#x27;t watch for free on TV. Given that I live in the EU, and using this as precedent (<a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/business-17150054" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;business-17150054</a>), I don&#x27;t think this is illegal in any way. Hope that helps.

In Canada (or through a Canadian Proxy&#x2F;VPN):<p><a href="http://www.cbc.ca/sports-content/soccer/brazil2014/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.cbc.ca&#x2F;sports-content&#x2F;soccer&#x2F;brazil2014&#x2F;</a>

I rely on wiziwig[1] to watch Football&#x2F;Soccer streams. The quality for Flash video streams is not great but it&#x27;s enough for me to know what&#x27;s going on. There are additional sites mentioned on this post [2].<p>[1]:<a href="http://www.wiziwig.tv/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.wiziwig.tv&#x2F;</a><p>[2]: <a href="http://designzum.com/2014/06/09/best-sites-to-watch-fifa-world-cup-2014-live-online-free/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;designzum.com&#x2F;2014&#x2F;06&#x2F;09&#x2F;best-sites-to-watch-fifa-wor...</a>

Probably not legal in most countries, but when I can&#x27;t find something on cable or I&#x27;m away from my home or in a different country I turn to: <a href="http://www.usagoals.tv/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.usagoals.tv&#x2F;</a>

<a href="http://mundialonline.com.uy" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;mundialonline.com.uy</a> it is a free service from an Uruguayan cable operator, it has only 2 non-intrusive ads (you don&#x27;t see them if you go full screen).<p>It is in spanish, and I&#x27;m not sure if it has any kind of geo-filtering (I tried with Tor without problems). It claims to be hd, but IMHO it isn&#x27;t.

There are some illegal streams at Roja Directa.<p>In my country, suscribers to the Antel Vera service can stream them legally, but it&#x27;s only in Uruguay.<p><a href="http://tv.vera.com.uy/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tv.vera.com.uy&#x2F;</a><p>I&#x27;m REALLY hoping Netflix or Hulu or Twitch&#x2F;Youtube or someone will disrupt this and offer some sort of paid, premium or whatever live sports streaming package, then I can ditch Cable TV.

I&#x27;m in CZ and have no TV. I paid to watch the NBA finals and Euroleague games. I&#x27;d gladly pay to see WC games too and F1 but since they are not available anywhere, I&#x27;m stuck with illegal streaming. Best I could find was: <a href="http://www.vipboxeu.co/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.vipboxeu.co&#x2F;</a>

Hi,<p>Thanks for the post about World Cup. Just a tip about those who don&#x27;t live in countries that stream world cup online. You can use UnoTelly to remove the geoblock and stream World Cup 2014 in your country free worldcup.unotelly.com

<a href="http://www.univision.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.univision.com</a> has all the games in Spanish. Usually it&#x27;s more exciting to watch because the announcers get really into it.
