How to watch Portugal vs. DR Congo from anywhere
As you'll find throughout the 2026 FIFA World Cup, every game will be streaming for free somewhere in the world, as is the case today with the examples mentioned above. You can enjoy these options, even if you're not in one of the free broadcast countries, via the use of a VPN (virtual private network) to bypass geo-restrictions. This will also let you continue using your home streaming services while traveling overseas.
These easy-to-use VPN apps let you temporarily digitally alter the location of your device, like your laptop, phone, or streaming stick, to appear as if you were physically in another country, in addition to helping bolster your online security.
NordVPNis our top recommendation for unlocking international streaming services and for digital privacy, and it ranks as thebest VPNI've personally tested - and plenty of other tech writers have ranked it #1, too. Nord's global servers are perfect for streaming the World Cup online from anywhere, and the 30-day money-back guarantee makes it a risk-free, affordable spend that you'll have plenty of use for beyond the World Cup.
There are free live streams available for every match of the World Cup. The channels can change game-to-game, but the simplest, most consistent options include SBS in Australia (every game) and BBC or ITV in the UK (every game between them). So it's worth using a VPN to access these streams internationally throughout.
Where to watch Portugal vs. DR Congo in the US
The next 2026 World Cup game airs on FOX in the US today (games are shared between FOX and FS1 throughout the tournament). So if you have these channels in your package already, or can access them via an antenna, you're all set.
If this is the jolt you need to finally join the world of cord-cutters to pick up a deal with a wider selection of channels, you'll find that the best live TV streaming services we've tested are a great place to start. Let's break down your specific options, all of which can be canceled at any time, with no contracts required.
YouTube TV is one of the best options right now for FOX and FS1, and we have an exclusive offer for you: save $15 a month for your first five months after your free trial, bringing the monthly price down to $67.99. That's a $75 saving if you keep it for five months, but you're free to cancel at any time.
Fubo Sports + News is another great choice, with 25 other channels and ESPN Unlimited bundled in for $46 for your first month ($56 after), and you can cancel at any time. It also includes a 5-day free trial.
Sling TV is another option, but it's not a good fit for all US World Cup fans, as FOX channels aren't available everywhere. Be sure to check coverage options in your zipcode before joining up. If you get the green light, look for the Sling Select or Sling Blue plans, as they both include FOX and FS1. Sling Select is the cheapest at $25 a month, and Sling Blue is $51, but offers more channels.
If you'd prefer Spanish coverage, there's a great-value deal: you can find it on Peacock Premium for just $11 a month. This covers every match of the tournament. Subtitles are also in Spanish.
