Please note that each streaming service is intended for users located in the country where it operates.

Generally, if you try to access one of these services from abroad, you will receive an error message and will not be able to watch the World Cup.

For example, because the UK's BBC/ITV are intended for users in the UK, you won't be able to watch the World Cup if you access them from outside the UK.

However, by connecting through a server in the UK, you can watch the World Cup even from abroad — so rest assured!

For detailed instructions, please refer to our guide on how to watch the World Cup from abroad by connecting through a server in the relevant country.

We also explain how to enter a campaign offering 25 pairs of World Cup tickets, including tickets to the final.
