How To Watch Brazil vs Norway and Mexico vs England For Free
The simplest option for English language coverage is FOX One, the network’s own streaming service, which comes with a free trial period for new sign ups. Since every match streams live and on demand, a short trial window is enough to cover both games on July 5.
Spanish language fans can watch for free through Peacock, which streams every match. Peacock is also included at no extra cost through services like Walmart Plus and Instacart, giving another route to watching without paying a subscription fee directly.
For those who want access to the full FOX and Telemundo channel lineup, live TV streaming services including YouTube TV, Fubo, and DirecTV all offer free trial periods long enough to cover the rest of the Round of 16. YouTube TV in particular offers one of the longer trial windows available right now.
An old fashioned digital antenna remains one of the simplest options as well. Since FOX is a broadcast network, anyone with an antenna in range of a local FOX affiliate can watch both matches at no cost at all.
Brazil vs Norway Preview
Brazil enters this Round of 16 clash unbeaten, having needed a stoppage time winner from Gabriel Martinelli to see off Japan in the previous round. Vinicius Jr has been the focal point of an attack that has found the net in every match so far under Carlo Ancelotti.
Norway advanced with a 2-1 win over Ivory Coast, their first ever World Cup knockout victory, powered by a late goal from Erling Haaland. The two nations have met four times since 1988, with Norway still unbeaten against Brazil across that stretch, a stat that adds an extra layer of intrigue to Sunday’s meeting.
Mexico vs England Preview
Co-host Mexico has been one of the stories of the tournament, winning all four of their matches without conceding a single goal. El Tri have never lost a World Cup match at the Azteca, a run that stretches back decades and includes eight wins and two draws.
England reached this stage with a 2-1 comeback win over DR Congo, with captain Harry Kane scoring twice late in that match. Kane now sits just behind Miroslav Klose and Gerd Muller on the all time list of headed World Cup goals, and his battle with Mexico’s back line looms as one of the key subplots of the night.
Both matches promise plenty of drama as the World Cup narrows toward the quarterfinals, and with several free viewing options available, there is no reason to miss a minute of either game.
