There are plenty of ways to watch the 2018 World Cup when the soccer tournament kicks off in Russia on Thursday. And the explosion of streaming options since the last World Cup in Brazil four years ago means you don’t need cable. The streaming review site [FOMOPOP](http://www.fomopop.com) helped Cheddar compile the best ways to [watch all 64 matches of the World Cup](https://www.fomopop.com/world-cup) in English, on Fox and Fox Sports 1, and in Spanish, on Telemundo and NBC Universo. **Buy an Antenna ** The cheapest way to watch is to purchase an OTA antenna for your TV to get the local Fox and Telemundo channels. FOMOPOP, which may earn a commission on purchases made through its site, recommends the [Mohu Leaf 30 TV Antenna](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004QK7HI8/?tag=fomopop-20) to get a over-the-air channels within 30 miles. It costs about $35 on Amazon. The [Mohu Leaf 50 TV Antenna](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004QK7HI8/?tag=fomopop-20) has a 60-mile range for about $60. You won’t get every match, but you will be able to watch most games in the group stage and knockout rounds. **Subscribe to a Live Streaming Service ** One of the biggest changes since the 2014 World Cup is the advent of half a dozen [live streaming services](https://www.fomopop.com/guides/live-tv-streaming) that offer broadcast and cable channels. [YouTubeTV](https://www.fomopop.com/guides/live-tv-streaming/reviews/youtube-tv) and [FuboTV](https://www.fomopop.com/guides/live-tv-streaming/reviews/fubotv) will give you all the games in English and Spanish for about $40 and $45 a month. They both offer free trials. [DirecTV Now](https://www.fomopop.com/guides/live-tv-streaming/reviews/directv-now) also offers a package that includes the full English and Spanish schedule, normally for $60. But it’s offering a special promotion that would give you $25 off a month for three months. A DirecTV package that includes Fox, FS1, and Telemundo that normally costs $35 a month would only cost $10 with the promotion. Adding Universo raises it to $35. You can get all of the games in English, and most of them in Spanish, with [Hulu Live](https://www.fomopop.com/guides/live-tv-streaming/reviews/hulu-live-tv) and [PS Vue](https://www.fomopop.com/guides/live-tv-streaming/reviews/playstation-vue) for $40-45. [Sling TV](https://www.fomopop.com/guides/live-tv-streaming/reviews/sling-tv) ($25) offers the least-expensive option in English, but you won’t get Telemundo, and Fox is only available in 15 markets. **Added Convenience** All of the services allow you to stream games on your computer, Apple TV, Roku, Chromecast, Fire TV, and Android and iOS devices. If you miss a game — they’re being broadcast live from Russia — all of the services offer a DVR to record a game or the ability to watch on demand.
