Quick facts

Austria face Jordan, Argentina and Algeria in Group J.
FOX and FS1 hold the English-language TV coverage in the United States.
Telemundo and Universo provide Spanish-language broadcasts.

Fubo’s free trial offers access to FOX and FS1, while its standard English-language tier includes Telemundo. Universo is available through the Latino plan, Latino Plus add-on or the Extra package.

Fubo’s post-discount monthly prices are $55.99 for Sports + News, $73.99 for Pro and $83.99 for Elite. The introductory first-month rates are $45.99, $48.99 and $53.99 respectively.

The Sports + News tier includes FOX, FS1 and FS2. Fubo also offers multiview on Apple TV and selected smart devices, allowing viewers to follow as many as four games on one screen when group-stage kick-offs overlap.

Its cloud DVR can record individual fixtures or the full tournament, while apps are available across iOS, Android, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV and major game consoles. Subscribers can cancel and retain access until the end of the paid billing period.

DirecTV Stream has a five-day trial and carries FOX, FS1, Telemundo and Universo. Its Entertainment, Choice and Ultimate packages are listed at $59.99, $64.99 and $89.99 for the opening month, rising to $89.99, $94.99 and $124.99 thereafter.

The service allows unlimited streams on a home network and keeps cloud DVR recordings for up to nine months. It is also available through major mobile, streaming and smart-TV platforms.

Sling does not offer a conventional trial, but advertises introductory prices of $10 for Sling Select, $23 for Sling Blue and $33 for Orange & Blue. Their later monthly prices are $19.99, $45.99 and $60.99.

There is a warning for Sling users: local FOX stations are only carried in selected major markets, including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta and Dallas. Viewers elsewhere may need an antenna for FOX fixtures, although FS1 remains available through the relevant plans.

Sling Blue permits three concurrent streams, increasing to four with Orange & Blue, and includes 50 hours of cloud DVR storage.

Peacock is the full Spanish-language streaming option for the tournament, with all 104 matches available live. Telemundo is set to show most high-profile games, while Universo takes selected fixtures, simultaneous group matches and additional programming.

In Austria, ORF and ServusTV will each broadcast 52 matches free to air. ORF has exclusive coverage of the opener and final, plus Austria’s first and third group fixtures; ServusTV will air Austria’s second group match. Both networks will stream their coverage through ORF ON and ServusTV On.

What happens next: Austria open their World Cup return against Jordan on June 16. US viewers without cable or internet can receive FOX and Telemundo broadcasts with a digital over-the-air antenna, generally priced around $15 to $30, although FS1 games will not be available that way.

Telemundo is expected to provide a free Spanish alternative for most matches carried on FS1. Antenna viewing also avoids streaming delay and delivers uncompressed HD reception where local signal strength permits.
