The standard method is to use a VPN on a laptop or mobile device, and then
use a HDMI cable to connect the device to your TV and display the image, effectively turning the TV into a monitor.

You could also try wireless casting via AirPlay, Chromecast, or Windows Miracast, but the experience is rarely as straightforward as your TV maker or the casting technology pretends it is. It all takes precious fiddling around time and that's time that your World Cup watch party guests will not be willing to wait.

Instead, turn to your hardware and try out your VPN provider's native TV apps or its apps for media streamers like Fire Sticks or Apple TV boxes. For most of these devices, it's incredibly simple to get going. Go to their app
stores, find your VPN provider and install.

Then, just set your server location to the UK or Australia or wherever else you need to tune in, as usual, and then head to your regular streaming app whether that's BBC iPlayer, ITVX, SBS or wherever else you find your free World Cup live streams .

And, if you don't already have a World Cup VPN , then you might want to try Norton VPN at the moment. It's a great streaming VPN and the only one to
offer a 60-day money-back guarantee. That's more than enough to iron out any teething issues and will also see you through to the end of the World Cup itself. Exclusive deal Norton VPN Deal 60-day money back guarantee

Watch free World Cup streams without limits using Norton VPN and its apps for Fire Stick, Apple TV and smart TVs. It delivers fast, secure connections with global servers, so you can stream from anywhere with ease. 60-day money-back guarantee Unlocks free World Cup games

Dont miss a second. Stream the World Cup from anywhere with total
confidence. View Deal Of course, there are other options if Norton VPN isnt
to your liking. ExpressVPN is a solid pick for TV streaming, thanks to
support for multiple platforms and intuitive Smart DNS capability the last
of which is a good solution for TVs that dont support VPNs as standard.

For more alternatives, NordVPN is our choice for the best VPN overall, while Surfshark is our pick for the best cheap VPN but lacks Smart DNS features for Samsung and LG TVs .

As a rule of thumb, if your TV OS is Android TV, you should find it easy to set up the VPN direct on your TV set. If you've got a Samsung or an LG and would rather keep things simple, then your Fire Stick or Apple TV box is
best.

Happy streaming!
