How to Watch the 2014 World Cup

<snip>
To watch the games live on TV, here are the channels you should tune into:

• USA: ESPN, ABC and Univision

• UK: BBC and ITV

• Australia: SBS

• Brazil: Globo

For a full list of countries and their corresponding networks that have licensing rights to broadcast the games, check out this resource provided by FIFA. For a full schedule of all of the games, check out this detailed list on ESPN. Sports Interaction also has a beautiful interactive schedule.

After you've familiarized yourself with players' backstories and learned how to pronounce their difficult names, follow this guide for the worldwide web of the World Cup. It's important to note that mega TV networks mainly hold all the rights to streaming the games online. (Though there are plenty of other sites that might stream the matches, they're not always legal.)


USA: ESPN, the all-sports-all-the-time network, is all over the event. The channel will not only present all of the games live on TV via ESPN (43 matches), ESPN2 (11 matches) and ABC (10 matches), it will livestream all 64 games online. Every game will be available via the WatchESPN site and app, which is available for iOS, Android, Kindle Fire, Chromecast and more.

I'll have to go to front row sports and watch from there.

I can view those channels on TVPC.com but it is every bit as buggy and I can go directly to the game I want to watch (tried an ESPN channel during the ECF w/ no luck).
