Watch the FIFA World Cup in the UK:

You can watch the World Cup on ITV and BBC if you reside in the UK. You can opt for on-demand ITV Hub services and iPlayer or free-to-air TV. As the World Cup matches coverage will be divided between the two outlets, you’ll need both to enjoy the matches in full.

However, if you’re residing outside of the UK during the Qatar World Cup, you can still use ITV and BBC iPlayer to enjoy the events. However, you’ll need to subscribe to some VPN services to access these exclusive streaming platforms.
