Netherlands vs Japan: How to Watch World Cup 2026 Live Free

Kickoff is Sunday, June 14 at 4 p.m. ET / 1 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. BST. In the United States the match is available free over the air on FOX, and Peacock will stream it for subscribers. In the United Kingdom ITVX carries the game for free; you may need to make a free account to watch.

If you are outside a country showing the match free, a VPN can place you on a home-server and reopen the stream. The article tested NordVPN, which connected in about ten seconds and allowed ITVX to play in HD; the promotional price listed is $3.37 a month with the code GIZMODO and a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Pick a server in the broadcaster’s country (a London node works for ITVX), swap cities if you hit a lag spike, and use Smart DNS for smart TVs that won’t take a VPN app. One subscription covers multiple devices. On the field, Japan is described as the chaos pick, set up in a 3-4-2-1 around Kaoru Mitoma and Takefusa Kubo that can turn an opener into a coin flip.
