The 2018 FIFA World Cup is getting underway later this month, with the first round beginning on June 14. Those that are in the US and want to watch the FIFA World Cup live from Russia, there are many ways to watch it. If you’re a cord-cutter, there are more ways than ever to watch the FIFA World Cup, including watching through Fox Sports Go, which is the network’s mobile app. If you are a cord-cutter, you will need to pay $19.99 for a month of Fox Sports GO, or $139 for a full year (if you only want it for the FIFA World Cup, then one month will cover it). But there are other options for watching the FIFA World Cup as well. Let’s go over the best ways to watch.
DIRECTV NOW
The 2018 FIFA World Cup is being broadcast on Fox and FS1 in the US, both of which are available from DIRECTV NOW, and you through the end of this month, you can get your first three months for $10 each. That’s a good deal, and it does tie in nicely with the FIFA World Cup. DIRECTV NOW allows you to stream on Android, iOS, Chromecast, the web, Roku, Amazon Fire TV and select Apple TV. For $35/month, you will get around 60 channels included here, which includes Fox’s channels, and depending on where you are located, local sports channels are also included. DIRECTV NOW does also allow you to add on HBO or SHOWTIME for a discounted rate. DIRECTV NOW does offer up a 7-day trial here, but if you want to take advantage of any of its promotions, you cannot use the free trial, so keep that in mind.

Sling TV is also a pretty good cord-cutter streaming TV service that is available. It has a plan that starts at just $20 per month, however to get Fox and FS1 channels included, you will need to pay for the $25 per month service. Of course, you can get everything Sling TV has to offer for $40 per month. Sling TV does also offer up other channels in packages that range from $5 to $20 per month. This is an a la carte approach by Sling TV, so that you are only paying for the channels you want. Sling TV is available on most devices these days. Including Android, iOS, Chromecast, Android TV, Apple TV, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. So you can watch it virtually anywhere. Sling TV does offer up a 14-day free trial to check out the service before purchasing it.

Hulu Live TV is the streaming service’s own live TV service, which is priced similar to YouTube TV – at $40 per month.

Now if you don’t subscribe to any streaming TV services, you can pay for a month of Fox Sports Go for $19.99, or get a full year for $139.99 – which is great for those that are watching other sports on the network, like the World Series this Fall.

There’s a slew of options for watching the 2018 FIFA World Cup, which includes watching it on your TV through your cable or satellite provider. But if you are a cord-cutter, there are plenty of other options too. The best option right now is obviously DIRECTV NOW, since you can get three months for $10 each (a total of $30), which is cheaper than the other services, and it has many more channels available. But you really can’t go wrong watching the FIFA World Cup through any of these services.
