Soccer fans around the world know that the world cup is a must-watch event every four years. This tournament draws an immense global audience and never fails to thrill its millions of admirers.

On November 20th in Qatar, the world cup began and will conclude with Argentina versus France on December 18th. NBC is broadcasting the game in Spanish, but there are several ways to watch without cable subscription.

Pay-per-view

The world cup is an exciting event that draws millions of fans from around the world. Beginning November 20 and concluding with Argentina versus France on December 18, here are some great ways to watch all the action live online.

Fox has exclusive broadcast rights for the world cup in America, so you can stream matches on either Fox or FS1 through your television provider, digital antenna, or live TV streaming service.

Another way to watch the World Cup is Google's streaming service, YouTube TV. With channels like FOX, FS1, Telemundo and NBC Universo available on their platform, you'll have access to all major matches throughout the tournament.

Additionally, you can watch the world cup via pay-per-view (PPV). This subscription model involves users paying a set fee each time they view content such as films or sports events.

Pay-per-view services are increasingly being offered as an option to subscribers of traditional TV channels, enabling them to watch special events or films without cost. It has become a worldwide method for monetizing video content.

The pay-per-view market has seen a meteoric rise, driven by the increasing popularity of television broadcasting and streaming services as well as expanded internet access. Estimates predict this sector to experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.2% during the forecast period.

When selecting a pay-per-view platform, look for features that enable content delivery to viewers around the globe. This should include an international video CDN that guarantees low latency and fast speeds for your viewers, as well as two-factor authentication to prevent sharing of your material with third parties.

Sling TV

If you want to watch the World Cup but don't have access to cable or satellite TV services, Sling TV is one of the best alternatives. This streaming service provides live and on-demand television channels through its app for smart TVs, Roku devices, Apple TV, Android phones and Xbox One consoles. It's available across different platforms such as Roku, Apple TV and other smart TVs that run Android or Apple iOS operating systems.

Sling TV's main channel lineup is led by ESPN, but it also includes a wide variety of other networks like ABC and Disney-owned channels. It offers two main packages - Orange and Blue - each tailored towards a different audience.

The main distinction between Orange and Blue is that Orange emphasizes sports, while Blue provides more dramas and movies. No matter which plan you select, both allow you to watch FOX and FS1 on Sling; however, this option is only available in certain markets.

Additionally, you can purchase additional channels to customize your Sling experience. For instance, the Total TV Deal costs $21 a month and provides seven extra channel packages; alternatively, you can get the four-extras package for just $13 extra each month.

Finally, Sling provides a limited amount of free content to current subscribers. Even if your free trial ended after the offer was taken advantage of, you can still access some shows and movies through the "Watch Now" row on the Sling TV app.

Sling is an affordable option for budget-minded consumers who don't mind working around some quirks. However, if you require extensive live sports coverage or need more than 200 hours of DVR space, other alternatives such as fuboTV and YouTube TV should be taken into account.
