The FIFA World Cup has officially begun.
This afternoon, Mexico will face South Africa, marking the start of the tournament.
If you’re not a cable subscriber, streaming the World Cup is simpler than navigating some other sports events since all matches are available on just two networks. However, consolidating subscriptions into a single app could streamline the process even more.
For those with Prime Video, here’s how to catch every World Cup match live:
