OUTSIDE BRAZIL? ACCESS YOUTUBE FROM ANYWHERE WITH NORTON VPN

How to watch the World Cup on YouTube from anywhere

Although YouTube is available almost everywhere, the free World Cup coverage is limited to Brazil.

Football fans traveling or working outside Brazil will need to use a VPN to access YouTube's free World Cup streams.

We use Norton VPN. Here’s why:

It's really easy to use a VPN to watch World Cup 2026 on YouTube.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, Norton VPN is the best choice.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're visiting the US and want to watch your free Brazil YouTube stream, you'd select 'São Paulo'.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to the CazéTV channel, sign in, and watch the World Cup on YouTube for free.

What will YouTube's World Cup coverage include? Every game?

All 104 World Cup games are free-to-air on the CazéTV YouTube channel.

Full game replays are being posted to the channel too.

Is YouTube a good way to watch the World Cup?

There are pros and cons to CazéTV's free YouTube channel to watch the World Cup coverage.

The positives: you don't need an account to tune in, most people are familiar with the user interface, and every single game is being shown in the same place.

However, coverage is exclusively in Portuguese, which is great if you're fluent in the language or interested in learning it – not so much otherwise.

Free English-language coverage of every World Cup game, meanwhile, is available via SBS on Demand in Australia, BBC iPlayer and ITVX in the UK, and RTE Player in Ireland.
