The 2023 FIFA Club World Cup final is here, with Real Madrid and Al Hilal clashing for the title tonight in Morocco.
Real Madrid is obviously a Goliathan figure in the FIFA Club World Cup with a record seven wins out of the tournament’s 19 meetings. Al Hilal, on the other hand, is already making history as the first Saudi side to reach the final. The underdog squad secured their spot in the final on Thursday by upsetting Flamengo for a final score of 3-2.
If you’re looking to watch the Club World Cup final online today, you’ve got a few good options — including a few ways to stream Real Madrid vs. Al Hilal for free online. Check them out below, as well as key match details like start time and betting odds.
How to Watch Club World Cup Online for Free With a VPN
The best way to stream the Club World Cup final online is to get a VPN, which will let you watch Real Madrid vs. Al Hilal for free via Australia’s SBS.
Unfamiliar with VPNs (virtual private networks)? The popular services let you access web servers in other regions that would normally be inaccessible from your physical location. In simpler terms, VPNs allow to you access almost any website, no matter where you are. They’re great for streaming content that’s unavailable in your country (i.e. different Netflix shows), or for getting free legal sports live streams only available in other countries. Best of all, VPNs are totally legal and actually make browsing more secure than it normally is.
If you want to watch the Club World Cup final online for free, a VPN will come in handy by letting you watch the game through SBS, a free streaming service only available in Australia.
First, sign up for a good VPN such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN. ExpressVPN costs $12.95 a month, and NordVPN costs $11.99 a month, but both offer 30-day money-back guarantees that you can take advantage of after the Club World Cup final is over.
Once you have your VPN installed, set your location to anywhere in Australia, create an SBS account, and enjoy a free livestream of Real Madrid vs. Al Hilal.
