On your phone

1. Install or update the BBC iPlayer app.
2. Sign in to your BBC account.
3. Open the World Cup event page or search for the match.
4. Tap the live stream when it starts.

Before you watch

• Make sure your internet connection is stable.
• If you are in the UK, you’ll need a valid TV licence to watch live on BBC iPlayer.

• If the match has not started yet, the live stream may only appear close to kick-off.

If it does not open

• Check that the app is updated.
• Restart the app and search again.
• Make sure you are using the official BBC iPlayer app, not a third-party “iPlayer” app.
