Below you’ll find the exact kickoff time where you live, every genuinely free broadcaster (plus the honest truth about the paid ones), and a quick look at the Haaland–Kane duel everyone’s talking about. Let’s get you sorted before the teams walk out in Miami.

Where to Watch Norway vs. England for Free
🇺🇸 USA: FOX & Telemundo — free with an antenna
FOX carries the English-language broadcast and Telemundo the Spanish one, and both are free over-the-air channels — no cable bill required. Plug a basic HDTV antenna (around $20) into your TV, run a channel scan, and you’ll have the match in full HD at 5:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM PT. Prefer to stream? Those routes are paid: FOX One offers a free trial, Fubo, YouTube TV and DirecTV have trials too, and Peacock carries the Spanish-language feed on its paid plans. For most households, an antenna is the simplest way to watch Norway vs. England for free in the USA.
🇬🇧 UK: ITV1 & ITVX — completely free
Quick heads-up: this fixture is on ITV, not the BBC — iPlayer only gets the highlights. ITV1 shows the match live on TV and ITVX streams it free on any device; all you need is a free ITVX account and a valid UK TV licence. Coverage builds towards the 10:00 PM BST kickoff, so it’s a proper Saturday night in. That makes ITVX the easiest way to watch Norway vs. England for free in the UK.
🇨🇦 Canada: CTV — free on broadcast TV
CTV airs the game free-to-air, so an antenna or any basic TV setup gets you the 5:00 PM ET kickoff at no cost. One catch: the CTV app and website ask for a TV-provider login. Cord-cutters can go through TSN or TSN+ instead, but that’s the paid route at roughly CA$8/month. If you have an antenna, you can watch Norway vs. England for free on CTV the moment coverage begins.
🇦🇺 Australia: SBS & SBS On Demand — free live stream
Australia has it easiest of all. SBS broadcasts the quarter-final live and SBS On Demand streams it completely free — no subscription, no trial, just a quick free account. The only sacrifice is sleep: kickoff is 7:00 AM AEST on Sunday 12 July. Coffee and a World Cup quarter-final is a fair trade. SBS On Demand lets you watch Norway vs. England for free from anywhere in Australia.
🌍 MENA: beIN Sports — paid only
We’ll be straight with you: there is no free legal option in the Middle East and North Africa. beIN Sports holds exclusive rights, so you’ll need a beIN subscription or beIN Connect to stream the match at 12:00 AM KSA / 1:00 AM UAE in the early hours of Sunday. So while you cannot watch Norway vs. England for free in MENA, beIN’s buildup coverage is typically excellent.

Haaland vs. Kane: Why This One Is Unmissable
This is the tie the neutrals wanted. Erling Haaland leads the Golden Boot race with seven goals after his brace knocked out Brazil 2-1 and carried Norway into their first-ever World Cup quarter-final. Harry Kane sits one behind on six, tucking away a penalty in England’s chaotic 3-2 win over Mexico — a game Jude Bellingham’s double won and ten-man England somehow survived. Remarkably, the two nations have never met at a major tournament, so Ståle Solbakken’s fearless Norway against Thomas Tuchel’s battle-hardened England is a step into the unknown for both. The winner faces Argentina or Switzerland in the semi-final. Eyeing the rest of the bracket? Our free-viewing guides for France vs. Morocco and Spain vs. Belgium have the other half of the draw covered. If this one is half as dramatic as the round of 16, don’t be late.
