How to watch Canada vs Bosnia-Herzegovina in the US
YouTube TV is our favorite option here thanks to its 21-day free trial, which will take you far into the World Cup before requiring a subscription – and that subscription is discounted for a little while as well – $54.99 per month for the first three months. That’s for the Sports Plan, which means you’ll get all the Fox World Cup streams as well as the NFL Network, TNT and ESPN.
Peacock is doing something unique this year: it’s taking the Spanish-language broadcasts of every World Cup match from Telemundo and streaming them using both Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, so you’ll be able to feel like you’re right there in Toronto Stadium. You’ll need Peacock Premium for that experience, and it costs $10.99 per month – or zero per month if you’re a Walmart Plus subscriber. If you aren’t, there’s a deal right now that gives you 30 days of Walmart Plus with Peacock Premium for just one dollar.
There are two more options for US soccer fans. Fox One gives you access to all the games in 4K for $19.99 per month, although the free trial is only three days. Fubo offers two more free days, carries both Fox and FS1 streams and costs $55.99/mo for the Sports + News package once your free trial is up.
As with other World Cup matches FIFA and broadcasters are using Eastern Time for scheduling, and the match kick-off will be at 3pm ET.
As ever with streaming, providers use geoblocking so if you’re going to be outside the US for the match you’re going to need a VPN in order to stream the game from US streamers. Our favorite VPN is Norton VPN thanks to its low price, great performance and rock-solid stability.

If you’re going to be outside the UK for this match iPlayer won’t be available to you unless you use a VPN. We’d recommend Norton VPN for its speed, security and reliability.
