How to Watch Netherlands vs Sweden Live for Free

Kickoff is 1 p.m. ET / 10 a.m. PT / 6 p.m. BST at NRG Stadium in Houston. The match is free in many countries, and unlocking a local stream from abroad takes about as long as a loading screen. If you are in the UK, Australia or Brazil, open the BBC, SBS or CazéTV feed and you are good to go.

Outside those territories, you can use NordVPN for $3.37/month with the code GIZMODO: pick a server in a country that streams the match free (a UK server keeps the commentary in English), launch the broadcaster, make a free account if requested, and hit play. Swap server cities and reload if you see buffering; NordVPN includes a 30-day money-back guarantee.

In the US the English broadcast is split across FOX and FS1; FOX can be received free with an antenna while FS1 requires cable or a streaming bundle. Telemundo offers a free over-the-air Spanish option. Point a VPN at the UK to access the free BBC feed in English without a cable subscription.
