Note: Both cable channels and OTT streaming services are included in the list.

1. FuboTV

FuboTV was initially focused on soccer streaming, and gradually expanded into a big name for sports, entertainment and shows. Compared to other live football streaming apps, FuboTV is a pricey choice. It's worth it if you are a huge fan of sports. It covers tons of channels, albeit the notable absence is TNT and TBS channels. Bad news for NBA fans.

Fubo TV live streaming app

FuboTV's wide channel support has you covered if you love sports. Besides the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Champions League, Liga MX, Ligue 1, MLS, Premier League, sports from beIN SPORTS and ESPN, and other leagues and tournaments, FuboTV also offers other sports networks. You can watch MLS, NHL, NASCAR, golf, tennis, boxing, MMA, college sports and more on FuboTV. Still, NCAA games, NFL RedZone and NFL Networks requires a Sports Plus package.

The Pro account offers you up to 1000 hours of Cloud DVR, so that you can record epic games when you miss the live streaming. Besides the Pro account, there are Elite, Ultimate, and Latino plans. For each plan, FuboTV allows users to create 6 profiles for the account, so that people can enjoy it with friends and families. But note that each account can be streamed on two devices simultaneously.

Except for PS4, FuboTV is available on major platforms and devices, including smart TVs, iPhone, Android, Roku, web browsers, etc.

Price: 7-day free trial. Starting from $64.99/mo ($24.99/mo Latino). FuboTV is available in the United States, Canada and Spain. The pricing differs per country.

2. YouTube TV

YouTube TV is certainly one of the big powerhouses for live football TV streaming. With 100+ channels for the base plan, and add-on sports packages, YouTube is another go-to choice as the live football streaming app. It has all the popular leagues and tournaments under its roof, and streams through broadcasters such as FS1 & 2, CBS Sports, ESPN, NBA TV, NBC Sports, NFL Network, MLB Network, NBA TV, etc.

YouTube TV Sports

Since Fox network and FS1 are available on YouTube, you can surely watch the 2022 FIFA World Cup with the $64.99/mo base plan (a newly registered account only costs $54.99 for the first 3 months).

One thing to notice is, some sports channels require an add-on package, which YouTube TV named Sport Plus, billed $10.99 per month. With this extra, you can enjoy NFL RedZone, beIN SPORTS, beIN SPORTS XTRA, FOX Soccer Plus, Stadium, SportsGrid, and more. See the full list at Google Help.

Besides a wide array of sports streams, there is also a plethora of news, lifestyle, entertainment, and family & kids content.

If you are deliberating between YouTube and Fubo, YouTube has TNT, the must-have channel that's missing in Fubo TV for basketball fans. Other merits are unlimited cloud DVR, and the support of 6 accounts to share between family members.

3. Hulu+Live TV

Hulu+Live TV is one of the best places to watch the 2022 FIFA World Cup live streaming and other sports. With Fox, FS1, NBCSN, Fox Sports, Fox Deportes, and 75+ channels coverage, sports fans can enjoy all the games of the Premier League, UEFA Champions League, MLS, and more.

Hulu with Live TV for football streaming

Hulu+Live also offers unlimited DVR cloud recording storage. When you fail to catch up with the game in real time, you can save it for leisure time. With the robust app on iOS and Android, it is easy to rustle up the game and cast it on TV to start streaming.

At $69.99/month, Hulu+Live TV also offers the Disney bundle with Disney+ and ESPN+, which could be a nice choice if you also love those originals and exclusive games.

Hulu+Live TV supports all mainstream devices: iPhone, Android, Roku, Chromecast, PC/Mac, Apple TV, smart TVs, Play Station 4/5, and even Nintendo Switch.

4. Sling TV

Sling TV is one of the most popular live football streaming apps in the US. As a live TV streaming service, it is divided into two plans, Sling Blue and Sling Orange. Blue works best for entertainment and news, while the Orange Plan is best for sports. If you cannot forgo NFL and ESPN, Sling TV Orange+Blue is the best solution.

As for the FIFA football live stream, since the broadcasting rights belong to Fox and Telemundo this time, Sling TV Blue's plan has FOX channels covered (FOX, Fox News, FS1, etc).

Besides streaming content, Sling TV also contains cable TV channels from the US, including AMC, CNN, Cartoon Network, Discovery, FX, History, and so on.

You can install the Sling TV app from iOS App Store, and Google Store. For FireStick, get it from Amazon Store. The APK file also works on Roku, Mi box, and smart TVs.

Price: 50% discount first month, $35/mo for Orange or Blue, $50mo Orange+Blue.

5. DirectTV Stream

Besides the 2022 FIFA World Cup, if your main interests lie in regional sports, DirectTV stream is among the best list of live football streaming apps as well as for other sports. Remember the TNT and TBS that's missing from FuboTV? DirectTV Stream has you covered.

DirectTV Stream App for Sports Streaming

If you also love news, TV shows and entertainment, you will love the DirectTV stream's coverage on ABC, CBS, CNN, Comedy Central, ESPN, Food Network, NBC, and Fox.

The unlimited DVR cloud recording gives it a leg up against competitors, especially when the plan is set at a less competitive price. However, users can only save their favorite sports and shows for 90 days over the cloud.

As with other mainstream live TV apps, DirectTV stream is available on iOS, Android devices smart TVs, Roku and so on.

Price: Starting at $69.99. Occasional deals are applicable.

6. Vidgo

Vidgo is one of the newest live football streaming apps for people trying to cut the cord. Since its launch in 2019, Vidgo has been widely acknowledged for streaming college sports. You can enjoy America's premier college sports, and access Big Ten Network, the Pac-12 Network, SEC Network, and Longhorn Network. In fact, Vidgo is the only live sports streaming service that unlocks these four major NCAA channels.

Vidgo Interface

For football and soccer fans, the Vidgo Plus and the Vidgo Premium plans grant you access to FOX, FS1, FS2, ESPN, EPSN Deportes, Stadium, etc. Therefore, you can watch FIFA World Cup 2022 with Vidgo. This live football app also invests in bilingual TV, with its Video Mas package covering 45 VOD Spanish-language channels, from where you can watch Fox Deportes, Univision and other entertainment.

However, if you are less interested in college sports, subscribing Vidgo merely for the FIFA World Cup 2022 may not be a bargain. Vidgo only offers 20 hours of Cloud DVR hours, while its competitors such as FuboTV allow for 1000 hours, and Hulu + Live TV even offers unlimited DVR hours.

Price: Plus $59.95/month, Premium $79.95/month, Vidgo Mas $39.95/month.
