Whether you don't have a TV at home, or you
need to be out during the matches of the Fifa
World Cup that starts from Thursday, you
needn't give up hope, because there are plenty
of ways in which you can keep up with the
action as long as you are online.
Most of the well-known international apps and
sites like the BBC iPlayer, don't have the rights
to air the matches in India, but there are
plenty of local alternatives.
Since there is no single global solution, this
guide is only useful to people in India;
different broadcasters hold the rights to
stream the matches around the world, so it
wouldn't be possible to list solutions for every
country. However, if you can do without video,
you can follow the action on radio thanks to
TuneIn Radio - it is free and works on iPhones
and iPads and Android devices. You can also
visit the website directly, and go to their World
Cup Page . Otherwise, here is a list of
broadcasters for the Fifa World Cup globally -
check your local broadcasters page and you
might find a way to follow online.
Here's what you'll need in India, to watch the
Fifa World Cup on your PC, phone or tablet.
Liv Sports website
Sony Liv has the digital rights for the Fifa
World cup in India, and you can watch along
on their webpage. To watch the matches, just
visit the website from your computer and
register online for free. Aside from watching
the streams, you can also get information
about the games, match stats, highlights and
exclusive interviews. The website is offering
the Fifa World Cup pack for 120 rupees for the
entire tournament, which seems like quite a
bargain.
YouTube
In case the Liv Sports website isn't working
properly for some reason, you can double
check with the official Sony Six Channel on
YouTube . The channel will carry a delayed
broadcast of the matches, which might also be
handy if you've missed something exiting and
want to "rewind" a little. Also, on the official
Fifa channel on Youtube you can watch
highlights from the matches, and also classic
matches and other videos.
Liv Sports app
This is the official app for Sony Liv, and the
easiest way to watch the matches on your
phone or tablet. However, it also requires an
up-front payment to watch the action, just like
the website.
On your phone, you need to download the Liv
Sports app (pictured above), which is available
for both iOS and Android devices. The app is
free to download, but you need to pay to
watch the streams. A Rs. 120 in-app purchase
will give you access to everything, but if you
just want to follow your favourite team, you
could unlock all the matches of a single team
for Rs. 60.
Aside from the HD streams, the app also
includes real time stats and commentary of the
matches, which are available to everyone.
Tata Sky Everywhere TV app
If you are a Tata Sky subscriber then you can
download the mobile application for iPhone ,
iPad or Android devices and watch the World
Cup live. After that, you will need to activate
Everywhere TV from Tata Sky, which is free for
one month. After that, Tata Sky charges Rs. 60
for the service.
This is not a bad deal for a Tata Sky user,
since it gives you access not just to the
matches, but all your TV channels, on the go.
And since the first month is free, you could
use this to watch the matches without paying
anything.
