USA vs. Ecuador Live Stream: How to Watch Copa America Quarterfinals Online For Free

It looked dark after an opening night loss to Colombia, but USMNT are the Group A winners and will host Ecuador Thursday night at CenturyLink Field. Jurgen Klinsmann, known for being inconsistent with his lineups, has played the same starting XI in the team’s victories over Costa Rica and Paraguay. He won’t do the same against Ecuador, as DeAndre Yedlin is serving a one-match ban after two quick yellow cards against Paraguay. Michael Orozco will likely take his place covering the talented wingers of Ecuador, including Enner Valencia, who has scored four of Ecuador’s last seven goals.

If you’re in the United States, you’ll have a variety of streaming options, regardless of whether you have cable. Sling TV, Fubo TV and Univision Now all offer a free trial. Read on details, and for a full rundown of other options.

A live stream of the game is available in select other countries, but only for viewers with access to a cable or satellite subscription. Scroll down to the bottom of this post for a breakdown of options for users outside the U.S.

If you’re outside the United States and don’t have access to a cable or satellite subscription, or if you live in a country where there are no streaming options, there’s no legal way to stream the game. You can follow the action live via Fox Soccer.

Here’s a complete roundup of the available live stream options:

If You’re in the United States & Don’t Have a Cable or Satellite Subscription That Includes Fox Sports 1 or Univision

On the Web:

If you don’t have access to a cable or satellite subscription, you have a handful of options, two of which offer a free trial that will allow you to watch the English-language broadcast: Sling TV, an online streaming service that provides access to a handful of channels for a monthly fee, and Fubo TV, a soccer streaming service. Click here to sign up for SlingTV and click here to sign up for Fubo TV.

If you’re interested in watching this match but aren’t going to use either service beyond today, either option will do the trick. If you’re interested in retaining either service beyond today, though, here’s a breakdown of what each service offers:

Sling: If you’re interested in gaining access to a broad range of cable channels, including AMC, CNN, TNT and TBS, Sling is your best bet. They’ve recently launched a new package that includes Univision and Fox Sports 1, and you can watch today’s match and all of Copa America in English or Spanish. Sling also offers a 7-day trial, an advantage over the 24-hour trial provided by Fubo.

To sign up for Sling, follow these steps:

1. Click here to sign up for Sling TV. You’ll need to enter your credit card information when signing up, but if you cancel your subscription before the trial period ends, you will not be charged.

2. When you sign up, select Sling’s Best of Live TV-Beta Multi-Stream, a new option which costs $20 per month. The package also includes AMC, FX, and 14 Fox Sports regional networks. Again: You will not be charged if you cancel your subscription before the 7-day trial ends.

3. Download the Sling desktop app, and navigate over to Fox Sports 1 or Univision to watch the match.

Fubo TV: If all you’re looking for is live soccer and you’re looking to save money, Fubo TV is a better option because of the lower monthly price of just $9.99 a month.

Signing up for FuboTV is easy: Simply click here to sign up for Fubo TV.

The service provides access to matches from La Liga and other leagues for $9.99 a month. There is a 24-hour free trial option available. You’ll need a credit card to sign up, but if you cancel your subscription within 24 hours you will not be charged. Click here to sign up for a free trial with FuboTV.

A third option is to purchase a service called Fox Soccer 2Go, which broadcasts all Fox Sports soccer matches online. The service is sold by a $99.99 per year subscription.

That’s it for English-language options. If you’re looking for a Spanish-language broadcast, though, you can get one through Univision Now, a streaming service that offers a free 7-day trial and only costs $5.99 per month after the trial, making it the cheapest option to watch the tournament.

Univision Now will carry every Copa America match in Spanish, and the service also includes the ability to watch any previous match from the last 72 hours. Like the above options, they require a credit card to sign up for a free trial but if you cancel after the trial period you will not be charged. Start your 7-day trial with Univision Now here. You can download the Univision Now app from the Apple Store or Google Play Store.
