Frequently asked questions

Is the 2026 World Cup free in India?
No official broadcaster has been confirmed for India yet (as of 2026-05-05). FIFA+ may carry select matches as a fallback — check fifa.com/fifaplus.
How do I watch India's coverage from abroad?
Connect a VPN to a India server before opening your broadcaster's app or website. Your home stream will work exactly as it does at home — geo-blocks are bypassed, logins work normally. We recommend NordVPN (rated 4.8/5, from $3.39/mo).
What app can I use to stream the World Cup in India?
FIFA+ (possible fallback) is the main free streaming option in India.
