DirecTV carries FOX in all of its signature packages, along with select cheaper genre packs like MySports and MyNews.

Sling TV is another live TV service with World Cup coverage, though you should double-check whether FOX is available in your ZIP code, as Sling's local channel coverage varies by market.

When local channels are available, Sling Select costs at $25 a month, and Sling Blue costs $51 a month.

How to watch USA vs. Paraguay from anywhere

If you're away from the location where your streaming service works, don't worry. You can access your free option from anywhere with the help of a VPN, or virtual private network. VPNs are easy-to-use tech apps that help people temporarily alter the location on their electronic devices so their favorite websites work from anywhere in the world. They're especially popular among those looking to keep up with their usual services while traveling abroad or hoping to boost their day-to-day cybersecurity and privacy.

NordVPN consistently ranks among the best VPNs we've tested. It's fast, user-friendly, and offers an impressive selection of global servers. Plus, it includes a 30-day money-back guarantee, so there's no sweat if you find that it's not what you're looking for.

Note: VPN use is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content may constitute a breach of the terms of use for some services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
