1. Is it legal to use a VPN to watch the World Cup from another country?

Using a VPN is legal in most countries, but it usually breaks the streaming service's terms of use, so accounts can be blocked.

2. Where can I watch free clips and highlights if I miss a match?

YouTube and TikTok are preferred partners for the tournament and carry short clips worldwide, plus full matches in selected markets.

3. Can I watch the World Cup on a flight or a cruise ship?

Yes, Sport24 holds the in-flight and cruise-ship rights, so many airlines and cruise lines will carry live matches.

4. Will any matches be shown in 4K or 8K?

Several broadcasters carry 4K feeds and China Media Group is showing matches in both 4K and 8K.

5. Why do so many matches start after midnight in Asia and Oceania?

Because every stadium sits in a North American time zone, kick-offs fall in the early hours across South Asia, East Asia and the Pacific.
