The FIFA World Cup is the biggest event for the most popular sport in the entire world. According to FIFA and Kantar Media, almost half of all people who are alive tuned in at home to watch at least a minute of one match of 2014's World Cup in Brazil. Over one billion people watched the final game.
The 2018 World Cup will take place in Russia, and many of the matches will be easy to watch in the United States (if you live on the east coast, at least). Here's our guide to catching as many of the beautiful games as possible.
What Is It, Anyway?
The World Cup is a soccer tournament where national teams compete for the world title. Each country that qualifies to participate is organized into different groups, which ascend through brackets by winning matches. This starts on June 14 and goes for a month, with the final on Sunday, July 15. This year, the United States failed to qualify, as did Italy, the Netherlands, and Chile.
But don't worry, there will still be plenty of drama. For example, the tiny nation of Iceland is making its World Cup debut—and against none other than the team led by superstar Lionel Messi, playing for his final chance to bring the Copa del Mundo back home to Argentina. Suspense!
When Does the World Cup Start?
The first match is between Russia and Saudi Arabia on Thursday, June 14 and takes place in Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium. Kickoff is at 11 am EDT (8 am PDT).
Russia is an enormous country, and matches will take place in far-flung stadiums in Sochi, St. Petersburg, and Ekaterinburg, among others. If you want to watch a particular team, look up their group schedule. Find the match schedule, which channels are streaming which match, and input calendar reminders here, or find scores on FIFA's website.
During the group stage, matches will be taking place between 6 am EDT (3 am PDT) and 3 pm EDT (noon PDT). Some of the early match-ups that you might want to make room for on your schedule include:
- Iceland's debut against Argentina on Saturday, June 16 at 9 am EDT (6 am EDT)
- Germany, the returning champs, facing off against Mexico on Sunday, June 17 at 11 am EDT (8 am PDT)
- England's fearless and unbelievably young striker Marcus Rashford in the first game against Tunisia on Monday, June 18 at 2 pm EDT (11 am EDT).
If you live on the west coast, you'd better have a DVR. Or you may have to resign yourself to watching a few game highlights after the fact, since only deranged people will drag themselves out of bed to watch France vs Australia at 3 am PDT.
What Streaming Service Do I Use?
For English speakers in the United States, Fox Sports has exclusive broadcasting rights and will be showing every game. If your soccer-viewing would feel incomplete without an announcer yelling 'GOOOOOOOL!', Telemundo and NBC Universo have your back.
First, you need a streaming service that shows these channels. DirecTV Now might be the easiest and cheapest one. The 'Live a Little' bundle includes both FS1 and Telemundo, and right now the company is offering a free 7-day trial period, or $25 off for the first three months. (It will go up to $35 after that). DirecTV Now also offers an app for iOS and Android devices, and you can stream the games online at DirecTVNow.com.
If you're not interested in the Spanish-language games, SlingTV carries Fox Sports and FS1 in the Sling Blue package. Sling is also currently offering a free 7-day trial period. If you think you might want to stick with a streaming service after the World Cup, Sling Blue offers 45+ channels and is cheaper than DirecTV at $25 per month. Sling also makes apps for iOS and Android devices.
You might also want to consider FuboTV. Its base package offers 85 channels for $45 month and includes FS1 and Universo. There are iOS and Android apps too. More services to consider: YouTubeTV carries Fox Sports, FS1, and Universo for $40 per month; Hulu Live TV, which carries the Fox, FS1, and Telemundo channels for $40 per month; and Playstation Vue, which carries FS1 for $40 per month.
If you really don't want to pay anyone any money, you can wait until July to use one of the 7-day free trials to stream the final game for free.
What Device Do I Use?
After you subscribe to one of these services, log in to the Fox Sports app on your streaming device. We love the Roku Ultra, but Amazon's Fire TV and Apple TV also support these services. If you don't immediately see the game you were looking for, don't panic. Check the schedule, since some games will be streaming on a different Fox channel. All of the games should be available on FoxSports.com and the Fox Sports GO app.
If you decide to stream from your phone, it will be easier to watch on your television with a $35 Google Chromecast. True cheapskates—and I salute you—will avoid paying for any service whatsoever with a digital antenna, like this one, which will let you watch Fox games over the air.
You also don't have to watch all the games to enjoy the experience of the World Cup. There will be endless articles, recaps, and analysis. Our personal recommendation for podcasts is Al Jazeera's Game of Our Lives, which examines soccer through the various lenses of politics, economics, and cinema, with guests like Werner Herzog.
Finally, I have one last suggestion: Check to see if your local bars, restaurants, or movie theaters are planning on playing games during business hours. If there's anything more fun than watching soccer, it's watching soccer with fifty of your new best friends, while drinking beer at 11 am. Just a thought.
Update on June 8, 2018: Fox Sports will also be partnering with LiveLike to offer a streaming VR experience through their Fox Sports VR app (available for iOS and Android devices). Watch the games in a virtual in-stadium suite, and switch on social VR to 'sit' with either your Facebook friends or viewing partners picked at random (you can also switch this feature off). Users will also have access to pre-produced 360-degree features and watch previously-recorded tournament moments.
Update on June 13, 2018: For $50 per month, Xfinity will also be covering English and Spanish coverage of the World Cup, with access to both Telemundo and Fox. You can also watch online at xfinity.com/tv or on the Xfinity Stream mobile app. Their World Cup hub will also offer easily searchable live replays, scores, and stats.
Want to brush up on your soccer and World Cup history before the big event? I’ll be binging on Gold Stars on Amazon, which is the history of the FIFA World Cup tournaments. You can also watch this Cristiano Ronaldo documentary and email me so we can plot out elaborate conspiracy theories about how he plans on getting Spain eliminated from their group. Fox also has a docu-series called Phenoms on Hulu, if you want to learn about other exciting players in the game.
FuboTV will also be making the five Fox bonus feeds available. You can watch team feeds for each team playing (that is, choose between Spain or Portugal’s team feeds). If you buy a new Roku and activate fuboTV, you will also be offered a free month.
Are you afraid that you might miss a second of World Cup coverage because you were too busy getting sucked into Twitter threads about party fouls and which celebrity has used which plastic surgeons? Just in time for the World Cup, Twitter is debuting a host of news features designed to keep you abreast of what’s happening, such as introducing topic tabs in Explore and personalized news notifications based on things like who you follow and what you Tweet about. You can also follow accounts like FIFA’s official account (@FIFAWorldCup), Fox’s soccer analyst, Stuart Holden (@stuholden), NBC’s soccer fanatics @MenInBlazers, and, of course, regular old soccer crazies like model Rawan Bin Hussain (@rawan).

2018 FIFA World Cup Quotes & Tweets – Friday, July 6
France vs. Uruguay
Uruguay head coach Oscar Tabarez admitted that France’s attack will be tough to stop (via BBC):
France's strongest points are the attackers, (Antoine) Griezmann and (Kylian) Mbappe. If you let France have space it will be very difficult.
Tariq Panja pointed out that Uruguay hasn’t had any success with the Argentinian ref that will be working this match, although France did eliminate Lionel Messi and the Albiceleste in the Round of 16:
#URU have lost all four games officiated by the #ARG referee who’ll take charge of #FRA game tomorrow
— tariq panja (@tariqpanja) July 5, 2018
ESPN FC noted that Sky Blues star Cavani is “likely” to sit out this contest:
Uruguay striker Edinson Cavani is likely to miss his country's World Cup quarterfinal clash with France on Friday, sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/HDysSX9Ute
— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) July 5, 2018
France defender Adil Rami spoke about the fantastic chemistry that his team possesses (via BBC):
I have rarely liked a bunch of players as much. I worry about saying that because there could be a boomerang if we lose. What is great about this squad is that there are experienced players as well as very young players. Yet there are no clans. We all get along with each other. The older ones joke with the youngsters. There is respect but no barriers.
Coral found that the last five meetings between these countries have been gritty affairs:

Uruguay talisman Luis Suarez understands that he has to be a leader on this squad (via Reuters):
I have to be one of the calm ones, because there are a lot of youngsters here now in the squad, some for the first time. I must lead by example. With so many games in the national squad, I’ve learnt a lot about how to handle this situation.
Belgium vs. Brazil
Brazil defender Miranda knows his side must be prepared for a varied attack today (via ESPN FC):
Belgium is not just [Romelu] Lukaku. They are a very strong attacking team, but the main way to stop the opponent is to be aware of all of the players who are on the pitch because there are several high-quality players, they are very skilful. Our defence is going to be very well prepared to neutralise all of the opponents' attacks.
Soccer AM joked that Brazil star Neymar is working hard on his diving ahead of the Belgium showdown:

Belgium defender Vincent Kompany discussed tactics ahead of his side’s matchup with Brazil (via ESPN FC)
I try to make people understand that nothing will change in our preparation. There was a lot of talk about finishing first or second in the group. I would have preferred to play Brazil in the final. We knew that by finishing first in the group our path would be tougher. It's our final. We scored a lot in the group stage and against Japan. Our biggest regret would be to play an insipid match and lose 1-0 like against Argentina in 2014. We would have the impression of having missed out on an opportunity.
There's no shame in not beating very good teams. But we would like to play in our way, which has been our strength for a long time. If we talk about their individual qualities and the fact they are well organised, there's no point in comparing ourselves one on one. In that case, Brazil are going to win, we have no chance. But I can tell you that we're going to look them in the eyes. I am emphasising the collective spirit as I know how much of a deciding factor that will be on the match. They will have chances. I just want us to have as many and we'll see who wins.
SB confirmed that Marcelo would be back in the lineup for the Selecao on Friday:

Kehinde Wiley thinks that Belgium’s unselfishness separates them from their Brazilian foe:
Lukaku, Hazard, De Bruyne don't care about scoring. They just want to win. That's what separates them from a team like Brazil with Neymar always looking to take center stage.
— Kẹ̀hindé Wiley (@ThisIsKennys) July 2, 2018
Manchested United manager Jose Mourinho believes Neymar is far from the only player diving at the World Cup (via ESPN):
People are focusing on Neymar, but if it was only Neymar I'd be happy -- but it's not only Neymar. Every team has lots of diving, lots of pretending, lots of putting pressure on the referee. The game loses quality, and for me that was the negative point…It's almost every match, they are creating such a difficult job for the referees in every match. Even with VAR the players are creating problems…The players should feel the responsibility of playing in the World Cup in front of billions of spectators
