Glunkbor

If you guys have a VPN and don't mind a different language, then you can watch the Austrian livestream on ORF or the Swiss livestream on SRF. Just pick the country accordingly and it's free.


doswillrule

Should be the same for UK coverage [here](https://www.itv.com/watch?channel=itv). You need to make an account but I think it only asks for a postcode, just grab one from Google Maps


Xian244

>just grab one from Google Maps SW1A 1AA Might as well treat yourself to a nice place.


Zandercy42

SW6 1TX if you want to rep James Acasters street gang


DaaneJeff

Wait zips contain letters in the UK??? Edit: bruh why did I get downvoted for that. All the zips I've ever seen in my life only contained numbers


Ruseger

First 2 letters are the city you’re in, next number/2 numbers are how close you are to the centre(it goes out and round in a circle) last 3 are a number and another 2 letters


DaaneJeff

Interesting


Quinto09

Isn’t that how your license plates work?


DonHugo92

Not really. Depending on the size of the city the first part of the plate can be up to three letters. Then afterwards you can customize the rest but it has to follow some convention: first 1 or 2 letters and then a number between 1 and 9999.


BongoStraw

Your neighbours the Dutch also have alphanumeric postcodes


HomerSPC

They're called postal codes in the rest of the world, BTW.


Glaiele

It's the same in Canada and I would assume other British colonies


pumpkin143

Thanks so much dude, it worked with uk vpn. They stream all games right?


GoonerSteve

Will be either BBC or ITV depending on the game - both free to stream


unusablered8

BBC iplayer?


fightfire_withfire

BBC Iplayer or ITVX depending on the game. All free.


gamnoed556

My vpn isn't working. Can tou share what vpn you use?


MoveOnToWhat

Is there any way to install the itvX and iPlayer app on an Android TV when Google play Geo blocks it?


ylno83

MY MAN. I’ve been missing the Laola1 free streams for the A. Bundesliga. Any idea if ORF carries those during the season?


Glunkbor

Sadly they only show a few games of the Austrian Bundesliga during the season, but not regularly. What they do show are the national team, big events like the EURO or world cup and things like the women's league and the second division of the Austrian league.


ylno83

Ahh gotcha - thanks for the info!


AlpineStrategist

nope, only on sky unfortunately


viemari

Try ServusTV too.


RebelSpoon

Or go UK if you want English streams the games are all either on BBC Iplayer, Itvx or 4od


GodofEther

Onefootball with brazilian vpn :)


tse135

Polish TVP Sport also has streams with English commentary or without it at all (if you want to watch the game in English, you have to open the match, select settings --> "ścieżka dźwiękowa" and choose "angielska" or "bez komentarza" if you want to watch without any commentary) https://sport.tvp.pl/euro-2024


AV15

No commentary option is amazing sometimes thanks 🙏🏻


Interesting_Rock_318

Thanks…not understanding the language is way easier to follow than a constantly buffering stream…


LumpyYou3763

Or shit American commentary for that matter


theveryendofyou

Or set vpn to Japan and go to ABEMA.tv, they also have English commentary for most of the games.


SausageChrist

With a Dutch one you can watch on NOS


Udreezus

RTE Ireland streams every match for free in english! Obv just set your VPN to Ireland and run wild


kampiaorinis

Alternatively RIK HD shows every match in 1080+ online for free. However, since it is a Cypriot channel, everything would be in Greek and don't expect anything other than bland commentary


LumpyYou3763

100% malakia


MyAssDoesHeeHawww

[Belgian state tv stream](https://www.vrt.be/vrtmax/livestream/video/vrt1/)


DaaneJeff

Same for ARD and ZDF


firthy

If they have a VPN, just use ITVX and the iPlayer


[deleted]

[удалено]


firthy

With a VPN, yeah. Free sign-up/login, is all.


AdamJr87

Read this as "the Australian Livestream" and got confused why it wouldn't be in English still


clyft

You are a life saver! Thank you!


AV15

I use ORF On for F1 as well. Also a Belgian server with the Auvio app works nicely with airplay. 


Roric

I have Youtube, ESPN+(with Disney+ and Hulu), Peacock, Paramount+, Max, and AppleTV and I still have to fucking pirate streams to watch EURO matches lmao. Just the absolute enshittification of everything.


lucifer_alucard

Did u get youtube tv just to watch premier league games not on peacock?


Roric

There's other reasons, but it's part of it lol.


MvN____16

I don't have Peacock...it's easy enough to watch Premier League games either thru the high seas or watch replays on hosted websites - but I just love (read: hate) the idea that games airing on USA Network or NBC aren't available to watch on Peacock. Even ESPN, as much as I will take every chance I get to shit on them, will have La Liga or Bundesliga games they air on TV also available to watch live on ESPN+.


WislaHD

I'll be honest, I don't have an EPL team to gloryhunt and there is no shortage of streams for that league on the high seas, so it is the one streaming service that I don't get. I pay for like 8 services though, what the fuck.


throwaway014210

Yes I did and im still fucking pissed about it


lucifer_alucard

Canadian fubo has all premier league games


Think-Weather4866

In order to watch all the games for the Premier League+UEFA and my local MLB team, I need: Peacock Fubo (LocaL sports Network only on fubo) Paramount+ AppleTV+ Hulu I called to see about actual cable, and it was $130 a month and didn’t get everything I needed. It’s insane


bearded_booty

Uzzu costs money, but it might be cheaper than all those streams. It has home and away of all baseball and USA for the matches not on peacock. It’s what I use. And I think recently they started adding MLS.


Maleficent_Resolve44

Mate you're wasting so much money for nothing. You can watch your shows and matches for free (if you know where to look) if they're going to fragment the market that much with ridiculous prices too.


Roric

For sure. I used to be a big pirate but settling down with family just makes it easier to sub than explaining and encouraging them how to pirate lol.


MvN____16

I can see how it could get tiring to explain to your kids why the stream might be buffering and everything associated with that, lol.


IncidentalIncidence

also the pop-up porn ads on every stream that somehow always beat my adblocker


WillyG2197

That shit posses me off, im fine with nonsensical stuff but the fucking porn popups should be punisable by lashings


Maleficent_Resolve44

Haha fair enough


PopcornDrift

Illegal streams are much less consistent though let’s be real. buffering, having to connect my laptop to the TV, finding a good one, clicking on the right play button without giving your computer a virus. I’ve used all the major sites and if you get a good stream it can work well, but it’s never guaranteed. I pirated everything in my earlier years but now that I have some disposable income I much prefer the convenience


SchraleAnus

Iptv.


MarvinGay

Could you message me some good places to look?


P_nom

Are you me?


JoaoNevesBallonDOr

Off topic, but Max is one of the dumbest rebrands of all time. HBO became HBO Max, then they went the twitter/x route of saying "screw the thing that the entire world recognises, let's just use a supper common and nondescript term for our brand"


Pogball_so_hard

I think they merged HBO with Time Warner so they probably wanted to do something to show they don’t exclusively have HBO content. Still kind of dumb to name it just Max but I can kind of understand keeping that rather than coming up with an entirely new name that people wouldn’t understand. 


dudettte

fucking same. almost same. only reason i have cable is for sports - i need to see every tennis game possible and yes national level soccer tournaments.. they kinda did the same with french open - some games only on peacock. fucking insane.


Shitmybad

You ever look at that ridiculous list and realise you shouldn't pay for any of them?


Roric

Yes. Often. lol.


danskiiiii

victheogfan

It’s insane we have to buy a million apps to stream games and yet they’re still not enough


estilianopoulos

I am surprised FOX never started their own Streamer. I believe they license much of their stuff to Hulu other than their sports.


AV15

Zivjeli to living in the untied states 🍻


cokecol

Wasn't univision the one who had the rights last euro. They were so much better


I_Dive_Deep

English language coverage in the US was on ESPN last Euro


tulikettuuuu

[I remember Maqwell's rant on that, and one commentator in particular - that was interesting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gjpQatKwAHA)


stingen

Ughh he's one of the MLS commentators so I definitely hear this quite often.


MvN____16

He was also the Devils play-by-play guy for years after Doc fuckin' Emrick, which couldn't have done him many favors being the guy replacing that kind of legend. I don't entirely agree with him about Ale Moreno though. I don't rate his analysis much but I find Moreno amusing.


tulikettuuuu

They now have the matches in Spanish on their streaming service ViX, which costs... *checks price* 6,99 $ / month.


stingen

Just to point out if "you" have TMobile with certain plans than [ViX premium is free](https://www.t-mobile.com/support/plans-features/vix).


vadapaav

Is it free when magenta Max plan??


stingen

Yes that's what I have.


vadapaav

Awesome just signed up! Will it have all the matches or only some?


stingen

I'm pretty sure they will have all the matches..unlike Fox. [They have rights other good content also besides international competition.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vix_\(streaming_service\)#Sports_programming)


vadapaav

Awesome! They have champions League as well Thank you


tulikettuuuu

it's the same case in Germany with Magenta Sport as well, some matches are broadcast live and free across Germany through ARD, ZDF, and RTL, but if you have T-Mobile then you can catch the Magenta Sport matches (like the current Hungary - Switzerland one) free of charge. The additional advantage of having T-Mobile compared to other German providers I guess, but Sky has the rights to some other leagues (including Bundesliga) so there is that


ladygagafan1237

Does ViX stream all of the Euro games in the US?


MHPengwingz

Yes they do


ladygagafan1237

Nice, I think I’m going to get that. Thanks


NewAccountNow

If you have VPN the Mexican version of Vix is superior in every way.


ylno83

Anyone is better than fox. I like my streaming services to not be struggling after an 800m lawsuit for lying about US election results


astarkey12

They also whitewashed the hell out of Qatar during the 2022 World Cup. Not a mention of any of their controversies as hosts.


MvN____16

The Fox sports division might be separate from their news division but it's all still Rupert Murdoch so the denominator remains the same.


Killzig

Yes but they've also put a ton of matches on vix premium. Thankfully I speak Spanish and am a T-Mobile customer so I could sign up for a free year.


estilianopoulos

It looks like Univision's Spanish commentary is on the premium Vix package. I have access to the Univision app, and you can't see the games live on their app. And yeah I enjoy the Spanish commentary much more than listening to a dour British commentator.


justalittleahead

This is probably the first time since the mid-2000s that a major international soccer tournament isn't accessible on US television or an easy-to-purchase streaming service. I remember Euro 2008 being aired on ESPN, and all of the World Cups that decade were on ESPN as well.


habdragon08

Kickers games are easier to get than euro. What a time to be alive


fizzelcastro

Two Kickers fans in r/soccer were not what I expected to find you two may be the only one’s rocking that flair.


Party_Wolf

There are dozens of us! Actually, dozens might be an overestimate


illsellyouthat

You have amazing coverage in the States as a general rule don't you? Ie you can watch 3pm kick offs and so the vast majority of Prem games? Coverage of club football is shocking in the UK - need about 589 different monthly subscriptions that total the cost of a flight to Thailand. We're never shortchanged on the International front though, thank fuck. For the euros there's a few suggestions in this thread for you boys in America looking to watch all the games.


luminous_moonlight

For the Premier League? Sure, at least in comparison to England. But broadcasters here seem determined to kill the game in their quest to wring every dollar out of football fans. It's getting a lot harder to watch international tournaments/domestic cups in the US precisely because they keep throwing a ton of matches on random streaming platforms that nobody in their right mind would subscribe to.


ThePrussianGrippe

We were debating opening the bar I work at early for the 9am game but it’s on fucking streaming! And one we don’t have. It’s fucking maddening.


illsellyouthat

Yeah mate that's the exact same story here. Meant to be a game for everyone but soon enough (if it isn't already) you'll have to be a top earner just to watch your team on the TV lol. Mental


toasterb

One of the problems here is that we’re also paying for different services for the top four sports. Football is #5ish and you still have to pay for a variety of services to watch.


Air5uru

I remember when fubo first came out, I had most games for: La Liga, Bundesliga, League 1, Serie A, liga MX, a ton of Libertadores, all champions and europa leagues, all of the Conmebol and Concacaf qualifiers, copa américa *and* the world cup. I paid like $50/month. It's a small fraction of the coverage now, and twice as expensive.


Alt4816

The worse thing in the US is trying to watch all the away games during World Cup qualifiers. Not sure how the rights are handled in Europe but CONCACAF lets the home team in qualifiers sell all the broadcasting rights to whoever they want. This lets the FAs of smaller countries fund themselves by selling the US and Mexico broadcasting rights to the games they host those teams, but it means the games during qualifying are on all different services and sometimes on straight up pay per view.


Eddie5pi

Usually it's actually pretty nice tbf, PL can be a bit annoying at times since to see all the games you need a pretty pricey cable subscription in addition to a Peacock subscription. But ESPN+ for like 6 or 7 bucks a month gets you Bundesliga, La Liga, and FA Cup, and Paramount for about the same price gets you CL, EL, ECL, and Serie A.


LampseederBroDude51

Just use the fox sports preview on incognito and switch tabs every hour


nepia

If you don’t mind Spanish commentators, vix


FoxWarner14

Yeah doing the same.


jewmacian

I'm doing that lol. I can understand some of it and the English comms are crap anyway.


odiamemas16

Clutch


MyCarHasTwoHorns

PSA: you can use the same card an infinite number of times for the Fubo free trial. Need a new email address each time. I recommend outlook through Microsoft dot com, free and no 24 hour period to wait to use it like with some other places like Protonmail.


Joystic

How have they not fixed that when their stock price has been plummeting lmao. Such a shit company.


Coys8

Or just gmail lol


AvrupaFatihi

You can put a dot anywhere or plus sign at the end and anything and it'll come to your email but count as a new account.


MrBlue_8

You can even put random characters behind the plus sign and it will still work iirc


AlexE1089

You're a legend, thank you for this!


MyCarHasTwoHorns

lol I didn’t even think about gmail because I use that for my main email and having multiple logins has always driven me nuts but yeah good call.


SaamsamaNabazzuu

I've been using the + trick (first.last+[service]@gmail.com) to help organize and cut down on spam since everything under the sun requires a sign in these days.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MyCarHasTwoHorns

I did it yesterday with the same card I’ve used like twenty times so I guess YMMV


MedicalJellyfish7246

Ya i tried it and didn’t work. They are finally on it


j1h15233

Further PSA, no you can not. They have blocked all of my cards from ever signing up again. I did get a lot of free trials though


Truffles413

And then they wonder why people pirate streams.


Incelphobiaism

I love the idea of having an IPTV * wink wink nudge nudge *


Pablo_Esc

Well, looks like the pirates will be getting more ad revenue from these 5 games.


wazdopest

fox is so ass. do they have copa too?


ylno83

Unfortunately yes. I wonder which games they’ll farm out to fupa


wazdopest

well that sucks even more cuz it means alexi lalas doesn’t it? luckily i have TUDN even if i dont speak spanish


MyCarHasTwoHorns

I love fupa.


bubbabear244

Opening ceremony isn't on Fox, and yet I'm chilling here watching both tourneys on TSN, or CTV, or TLN 😎🇨🇦


djama

and instead Fox sports is broadcasting the fishing competition. Think again, sports network decides fishing is more sports than the football


__prifddinas

Fox is by FAR the worst of the major US networks when it comes to football/soccer games. I'm always livid when I learn they're the ones with the rights to a particular tourney or game. Their apps & tech are the least modern, and even if you're a paying customer, you sometimes simply can't watch the game. Or they'll do something like that - where they prioritize random other events over the games, and good luck finding where to watch it. The other networks might paywall their stuff behind subscriptions but with Fox it genuinely feels like them having the rights is basically a "fuck you, you're not gonna be able to watch this" even if you PAY them. That's how bad their service is. Pirating being easier than watching a game LEGALLY is an absolute joke.


KingTocco

Also you have to deal with Alexi Lalas who is beyond insufferable


fitzellforce

The man literally implied that Peter Schmeicel had a small penis today. To his face on air


Frick_KD

What a joke. Let me go get my eye patch real quick


masonbrit

So fucking annoying. I got the trial, but is my app fucked or do they just not show the score or time?


stingen

They show glances every now and then but it's not a constant on screen.


masonbrit

As in glances to it being displayed in the stadium or do they have a graphic?


stingen

A graphic. It's extremely rare to see but they show it after goals or how much added time is left. I guess Fubo didn't put much effort into this since it just seems like it's the raw World Feed.


LinwoodKent

No score or time. Amateur hour


Purpsmcgurps

I found that so annoying! Just means I will not be watching any of these matches beyond my 7 day free trial. What a joke


MyCarHasTwoHorns

Fubo only has five exclusive games so if you started the trial yesterday you’ll get two of the four remaining. Romania v. Ukraine on Monday Turkey v. Georgia on Tuesday Slovakia v. Ukraine on Friday Georgia v. Czech Republic on Saturday.


Purpsmcgurps

Which is great, don't have time to watch 3 games per day anyway


[deleted]

[удалено]


MightyDuck07

Would highly recommend subscribing to TelevisaUnivision's streaming service ViX for only $4.99 ($6.99 if you don't want ads) in order to get these games (+ all the Euros and Copa America games as well) instead of paying for FUBO.


-Gh0st96-

I don't know this streaming service because I'm from Europe (or at least I never heard of it) but what do they stream that makes them ask 80 fucking US dollars a month? That is just insanity wtf. Is that a typo?


Interesting_Rock_318

It’s actual television, not a true “streaming service”


-Gh0st96-

Yep, someone replied with that. It makes sense now


LinwoodKent

It's extremely sports heavy. I can watch pretty much any sporting event from around the globe, it seems.


nicehouseenjoyer

Fubo in Canada is pretty good, although pricey. EPL, HGTV for the wife, Serie A, onesoccer for CPL and Voyageurs Cup matches, some Paramount Plus and HBO stuff, Adult Swim..


PuppyPenetrator

In Canada at least there’s a sports only option for $25 or so a month. Still too high


Law5_LOTG

It's an internet based cable tv service like YouTubeTV.


-Gh0st96-

Ah, it's cable, now that makes much more sense, thought it's just another streaming service like netflix, disney etc.


DeapVally

Think Now TV, if you're British.


WislaHD

I'm Canada, it is how we watch Premier League after they took over from DAZN. I cannot believe I miss DAZN.


__prifddinas

They used to have a sports-only package that was priced way more reasonably, and I happily paid for it because you would get almost all the games. Then they clumped that into their TV package for that price and I fucked off from ever using them again. Like you, I couldn't believe my eyes. Greedy bastards


welcometoheartbreak

Watching Euro Today with Alexi fuckin’ Lalas is really making me miss ESPN. This is making such a mockery of the competition.


Haunting-Whereas3495

He’s an absolute bellend.


ylno83

Lmao he’s the cringiest person on this planet. The jokes about Schmeichel’s dick size and the Scottish needing to get better at more than drinking made me implode like a dying star


MHPengwingz

Fuck Fox Sports....trash coverage. I just heard Tom Rinaldi say Balloon D'or...fucks sakes get someone who actually does their homework


atropicalpenguin

LMAO, meanwhile here in South America ESPN bought them and broadcast every game on their regular channel.


FoxWarner14

Bro I saw the schedule in Canada. TSN is showing every game for copa and euros on their channels


ysolia

Get a VPN and watch it in rtve.es it's free


YesTottiYesParty

vix.com streams Euro matches in spanish for $7/mo and has every match


RuairiQ

Greedy fucking cunts.


asmusedtarmac

Thank you, I went nuts trying to scour all my fox sports subscriptions to no avail. I made sure to write a very polite email to their customer service /s


Udreezus

fox soccer is the absolute fucking worst. Really wish paramount or nbc could get these international tournament rights


__johnw__

YO HO YO HO


Lord_Santa

It's free to air on British television, two public broadcasters to be exact. Google and find the relevant online platforms, use a VPN, create an account and remember to say yes when they ask you a certain question. Have fun!


JeremyUsbourneWebb

If you google the name of the app we are using, followed by the term traditionally used for sailing the seas, you can watch the games


EcoSoco

Fox has always treated their soccer properties like garbage. They bid huge $$$ and then make up for the costs by cutting corners and going cheap with the programming. Terrible


the_big_xavi

If you live in the states and are ok with listening to radio, Talk Sports in Tune In Radio app are playing it. That is how I been able to listen to it.


abzz123

Just watch a Spanish version on VIX


xenon2456

the fox sports website gives a 60 min preview


A__eric

By the way, FUBO isn’t $80 in most markets. $80 is base price + $10-20 county/state surcharge for “local” events. Shitty advertising morals on their end.


victheogfan

Won’t catch me dead or alive using fox so I’m off to sail the seven seas


SqueakyBumTym

Piracy and publicly funded national stations. I'm not paying these scumbags a penny outside of a TV licence so they don't take my house.


devioustrevor

Fubo is $80/m in the U.S.?!?!?! It's like $250/yr in Canada.


JT91331

Fox Sports is the absolute worst. If they didn’t have the NFL they would’ve gone under.


FplBeach

Get Vix for 6.99 a month and I believe it streams every Euro game. It will also stream the Copa America games. Plus it is in spanish so better commentary


LaxKonfetti

Ahoy mateys, time to set sail!


messisleftbuttcheek

I'll pay for streaming when I have access to all the matches at a reasonable price.


WaltJay

🏴‍☠️


ambiveritas

I just found this out, trying to watch the Romania-Ukraine game tomorrow, guess I gotta get FUBO now 😒


jag0009

I'll just go to the steaming websites to watch those games then. Fuck Fox.


ItsMeDoodleBob

This is a fucking nightmare. Hope they never win another rights because they sublet games
