Sling TV
Depending on which package they subscribe to, viewers can watch FS1 and Fox (in certain local markets) on Sling TV ($40+ per month). Telemundo isn’t available on Sling, so anyone interested in the Spanish-language broadcast should look elsewhere. On Fox and FS1, the broadcast team will include former U.S. World Cup players Stu Holden, Cobi Jones, Landon Donovan, and Aly Wagner.
Vidgo
Live TV streaming service Vidgo ($59.95 per month) includes both Fox and FS1, although like Sling TV, it doesn’t offer Telemundo. Check out the Fox and FS1 broadcasts to see if up-and-coming star Christian Pulisic can lead the U.S. team to victory.
