QUESTION
What is the cheapest way to watch the World Cup without cable?
Cheapest in the U.S.: $0–$30 one-time for an indoor antenna if you can get your local FOX station over the air. If you need more than FOX, expect about $20–$60 for one month of a live TV streaming trial/subscription that includes FOX + FS1. Spanish-language streaming may be about $6–$15/month if the matches you want are available there.
Best cheap setup:
- Start with an antenna if your address gets FOX clearly. That can make some matches free after the one-time antenna purchase.
- Use a no-contract live TV streamer only for the tournament month if you need FS1 or broader coverage.
- Check Spanish-language streaming if you’re okay with Spanish commentary; it can be the lowest monthly option.
Caveat: prices and channel rights can change, so check sold/completed listings and current channel lineups before buying or subscribing.
