- In the US, plug in a TV antenna and open FOX, it is free. Already in a country that airs the game in the clear (UK, Ireland, Australia, Norway, Brazil)? You are set.

How to Watch Ivory Coast vs Norway Free in the US
American fans get the easiest deal of any market. The match is a FOX broadcast game, not an FS1 cable game, so a $20 indoor antenna pulls it in free in 1080p over the air, with English commentary. Cord-cutters can also stream it on FOX One or on Peacock, and Telemundo handles the Spanish broadcast. If you are out of the country on the day, the antenna does you no good, which is where the VPN route comes in.
Where to Stream Norway vs Ivory Coast Live in the UK, Canada, Australia and Ireland
In the UK, BBC One shows the game with a free BBC iPlayer stream, the surest free English-language feed of the tournament. Australia gets it free on SBS On Demand, and Ireland on the RTE Player, both with English commentary and a quick free sign-up. Canada is the outlier: Bell Media holds the rights, and while CTV airs a selection of matches free to air, most of the schedule sits behind a TSN or RDS subscription, so check the CTV listing on the day before assuming this one is free north of the border.
Norway vs. Ivory Coast: Why Your Free Stream Is Geo-Blocked, and How a VPN Fixes It
Free feeds such as BBC iPlayer and SBS On Demand read your IP address and shut out anyone outside the country. A virtual private network routes your connection through a server in that country, so the broadcaster sees a local visitor and the live stream opens.
The setup is quick: install the app, pick a city in the country whose free channel you want, connect, then load the broadcaster and hit play. A single NordVPN plan covers six devices at once, and its Smart DNS feature handles a smart TV that will not run a VPN app directly.
In our testing it connects in seconds and holds a steady HD stream, which is what you want when a Haaland breakaway is unfolding in real time. One honest caveat: most of these services still ask for a free account tied to the region, so create it before kickoff rather than during the warm-ups. If you want the wider field, our roundup of the best VPNs ranks the alternatives. ExpressVPN ($2.49/mo) and ProtonVPN ($2.99/mo) are solid backups, but Nord stays our pick on speed.
The price is the easy part. The code GIZMODO drops NordVPN to $3.37/mo, up to 70% off as a World Cup special, and the 30-day money-back guarantee means kickoff costs you nothing if you decide to walk away after.

Ivory Coast vs Norway: What Is at Stake
Two group runners-up separated by a couple of places in the world rankings, this is one of the harder Round of 32 ties to call. Norway top the eye test: their three group games produced 15 goals, exactly five a match, and Haaland already has four to his name. Ståle Solbakken rested him, Martin Odegaard and Antonio Nusa for the 4-1 defeat to France with qualification secure, so a fresh attack arrives in Texas. The flip side, per Squawka’s group-stage numbers, is a Norway defense that conceded seven goals across three games and left gaps in behind the fullbacks.
Ivory Coast pull the other way. Emerse Faé’s side opened the scoring in all three group games, only the second African nation to manage that at a World Cup, and closed Group E with a 2-0 win over Curacao on a Nicolas Pepe brace. Watch the flank duel: 19-year-old Ivorian winger Yan Diomande lines up against his RB Leipzig clubmate Nusa, a personal subplot inside a knockout. The winner meets either Brazil or Japan in the last 16. The same free-stream method here works for every match left in the bracket, so it is worth getting your route sorted now.
