Networks that Stream FIFA Matches Live
Many major sports networks broadcast FIFA Matches in the United States. CBS Sports, ESPN (1&2), Fox Sports (1&2), and NBC Sports all broadcast FIFA Games, including the World Cup each year. However, there isn’t one network in the US that airs the entire season from start to finish. That said you should check the channel’s broadcast schedule to determine which matches are being aired and when.
Watch FIFA Matches Live Without Cable
The vast majority of people don’t find conventional TV cable convenient. The long-term commitment coupled with being tied down by the limitations of a cord turns off many soccer fans who also have full-time jobs or are students. Cord-cutting services like AT&T TV NOW and Sling TV, enable streaming on the go. Plus, they don’t require a long-term commitment which opens it up to a wider audience. Both services stream an array of sports and entertainment networks just like regular cable.
Prices vary depending on the packages you choose. However, Sling TV starts at $25 a month with AT&T TV NOW costing just $50+ a month with no excessive upfront costs.
