    Want to know where to watch the Cricket World Cup final live stream for free this weekend? We have everything you need in this guide, which has covered the tournament since it began in early October. There's just one game remaining, and you can enjoy it for free on Sunday from anywhere in the world. 

    Unlike most countries around the world, which charge a sports subscription app fee (we've detailed some of these options, too), Australia is streaming the remaining Cricket World Cup games online for free. If you're not in Australia, though, you'll be unable to tune in without using a VPN (virtual private network) to simulate your viewing device's location. Keep reading on how to get one setup if you don't already have one - it's only a few clicks and will unlock plenty of other free or cheap international sports streaming opportunities. 

    Where to watch Cricket World Cup live streams free from anywhere 

    Australia is one of the only countries with a free Cricket World Cup live stream, courtesy of streaming service 9Now. Not in Australia? Simply use a VPN to join in. Match selection earlier in the tournament was limited to Australia's games and a few other big international matchups, but all the final was always going to be shown for free, even if Australia didn't make it.

    Normally, 9Now requires you to be an Australian resident, but a VPN lets you push through the block and sign up for a free account to access the streaming service. A VPN virtually changes your devices' location, so apps and websites think you're connecting from servers within those countries.

    In the case of the Cricket World Cup, you can connect through an Australian server, and 9Now will let you in with no fuss after creating a free email login.

    You can also use VPNs to sign up for cheap streaming services such as ESPN Plus in the United States, which has plenty of other live sports, starting at $10.99 monthly.

    Don't have a VPN? There's a fantastic offer right now on the best VPN we've tested and have been using for years for streaming and beefing up our online security. You can pick up ExpressVPN, save 49% on the usual price, and get three months for free. It's the best investment in your sports-watching future if you know you'll want to watch more international sports streams.

    If you're unsatisfied, there's a hassle-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Want to learn more about the product? Take a look at our ExpressVPN review.

    How to watch the Cricket World Cup in the UK

    Sky Sports Cricket is your destination for watching Cricket World Cup games in the UK. You can get a standalone Sky Sports streaming subscription through Now TV, which costs £34.99 per month and includes all 11 Sky Sports channels. If you just want the final, you might be better off using the free option in Australia.

    How to watch Cricket World Cup in Australia

    You have two options for watching Cricket World Cup games in Australia. The final is being broadcast for free on  9Now. Foxtel will also show it, which you can get by signing up for Kayo Sports (AUD$25). This late on, though, seeing as the final is free on 9Now, there's not much point paying out for Kayo. Not in Australia, but want to watch for free? Use a VPN, as detailed earlier. 

    How to watch the Cricket World Cup in USA

    ESPN Plus will show all the Cricket World Cup matches for US viewers. This streaming service starts at just $10.99 per month and gives you access to premium on-demand sports content and other live events. Or you could hop on a VPN and watch for free via the Australian option mentioned earlier. 

    ESPN Plus (Monthly Plan)

    ESPN Plus is a sports subscription service that includes live sports, exclusive video content, and written analysis from ESPN. You can pay monthly or go for an annual deal for $110, which saves you about $22 a year. There's also a triple bundle with Hulu and Disney Plus, which offers an even better discount.

Over the years, Brendan has written about a wide range of subjects. Be it covering game previews at GamesCom in Germany, listing the best Amazon Prime Day deals, reviewing gaming controllers, Kindles, and folding smartphones, or even international guides on buying a mattress - he's still quite annoyed that the UK and US have different sizes and names for them. More recently, he's been covering international How to Watch guides on various sporting events like Formula 1, tennis, Champions League, cricket, or the hottest new movies and TV shows.   Outside of work, you'll find Brendan trying to make a dent in various watchlists across streaming apps or playing games on his Series X or PS5, usually downloading (hoarding) yet more Game Pass games or grumbling about how open-world games should be scrapped for a solid 10-hour experience like the Uncharted series.
