How to watch USA vs Paraguay game without cable tonight
The United States’ home World Cup begins Friday night, and the wait is finally over for USMNT fans. As one of the host nations, the U.S. enters this tournament with more excitement, pressure, and expectation than it has faced in years, and its opening Group D match against Paraguay is the first chance to turn that energy into results. The team comes in healthy, the country will be watching, and a win to start the Group Stage would be a massive first step in a tournament where every point matters.
The U.S. is favored, but the World Cup has a way of making just about every matchup feel tense. Paraguay will be looking to spoil the party, though key attacker Julio Enciso is doubtful to play after suffering a muscle injury in a friendly against Nicaragua. American fans will be hoping the home-field boost that helped recent host nations like Russia in 2018 and Qatar in 2022 carries over here, giving the USMNT the kind of opening-night lift that could set the tone for a much deeper run.
The United States’ first game of the World Cup kicks off Friday night at 9:00 p.m. EDT, and fans everywhere can tune in with Sling TV.
The United States opens its World Cup run tonight against Paraguay, and fans across the country will be able to watch the Group D matchup on FOX. If you don’t have cable, Sling TV is one of the best ways to tune in, especially in markets where the platform carries your local FOX station. You could also always pick up a 4K antenna from Amazon since you’ll get access to your local FOX station that way, but you’ll miss the FS1 games later in the tournament.
FOX availability on Sling varies by region, so you’ll want to check your zip code on Sling’s site before signing up. If FOX is available where you live, you’ll want to check out any of the packages with Sling Essentials or Sling Blue, since they include FOX in select markets, while Sling Select and any of the Blue packages also carry FS1 for other World Cup games throughout the tournament. Subscribers with a qualifying Sling plan can also use their Sling credentials to sign into the FOX One app (available from the App Store and Google Play) and stream USA vs Paraguay there.
