The fast answer
Travelling and don't want to miss a kick-off? Here's what you need to know:
DAZN is the official global broadcaster for all 63 FIFA World Cup matches. You can create an account and access the tournament through their app or website; check DAZN directly for current access options and pricing in your country, as these can vary.
Are you traveling and don't know how to watch the FIFA World Cup games?
If you're abroad right now or heading somewhere during the tournament, the biggest issue isn't finding where to watch. It's having a reliable internet connection to actually stream.
Hotel Wi-Fi cuts out. Roaming charges pile up. And nobody wants to be standing in a hotel room desperately refreshing a buffering screen during extra time.
The fix is simple: get a travel eSIM before you fly. With a local data plan on your phone, you can stream every match wherever the tournament takes you, without worrying about your bill when you land back home.

Watching from anywhere else
DAZN's deal with FIFA covers global distribution, so it's the most consistent option regardless of where you are when a match kicks off. The most important thing is that you have a reliable internet connection to stream, which is where a travel eSIM makes a real difference.
What if you're abroad and can't stream?
This is where most travellers hit a wall. You've found where to watch, but your phone is burning through roaming data or the hotel Wi-Fi can barely load a thumbnail.
A travel eSIM solves this completely. Instead of relying on roaming (which is expensive and unreliable), you load a local data plan directly onto your phone before you travel. You get fast, local-speed data from the moment you land, no queues, no SIM swaps, no bill shock.
With a Sim Local eSIM, you can stream every FIFA World Cup match on DAZN in the destination you're travelling to, whether that's the USA, Europe, Asia, or beyond.
