Where to watch Argentina vs. Austria free live streams

The World Cup group stages continue, and today's match has the potential to make tournament history. We've compiled everything you need to know about where to watch Argentina vs. Austria, including free and global streaming options.

In Argentina's first group stage match against Algeria, Lionel Messi scored a hat trick, defeating Algeria 3-0 and tying Germany's Miroslav Klose for the most goals in men's World Cup history (16 goals). If he scores again today, he'll become the all-time leading scorer. However, Austria could prove to be a worthy adversary, as the team defeated Jordan 3-1 in their first Group J match last week.

Below, we'll break down global watch options for the potentially historic match. You can catch the game on FOX via a live TV service in the US, free on BBC iPlayer in the UK, and free SBS On Demand in Australia, among other regions. You can access your favorite watch options from anywhere with the help of a VPN. For additional match viewing info, check out our where to watch the World Cup streaming guide.
