If you’re seeking a Women’s World Cup live stream to watch USA take on Portugal, we can help. There are free streams nearly everywhere, but notably not in the USA. If you’re not interested in subscribing to cable or another streaming app, we’ll show you how to watch the free USA vs. Portugal live streams available in other countries with a VPN.
This is a pivotal matchup for the United States women’s national team, who started the group stage by beating Vietnam 3-0 before tying with the Netherlands. The imperfect record makes the road to the round of 16 a bumpier one. The team can secure a spot with either a win or tie, which puts the ball firmly in their court. A loss doesn’t immediately doom the USWNT, but it would need Vietnam to beat the Netherlands.

Fox and Fox Sports 1 have the English language streaming and broadcast rights to the US Women’s World Cup live streams. So if you have those channels on your cable package, you’re all set. However, if you’re a cord-cutter and want to access these cable channels temporarily, you could opt for a service like Sling Blue or Fubo TV.
Sling is usually $40 a month, but new subscribers can get the first month for just $20, and you can cancel anytime. Fubo TV is much more expensive at $75 a month, but you can get a 7-day free trial before you’re charged for your first month.
If you don’t mind Spanish broadcasts courtesy of Telemundo, you can also catch the game via Peacock. The service starts at just $5.99 and offers a wide selection of games across all competition groups through the final round.
Or, if you have a VPN, you can watch for free if you hop on over to the UK and enjoy their free coverage on ITVX, as described above.
