Though it’s not quite a must-win scenario, the USA enter Friday’s World Cup match against England knowing that a positive result would put them in a very strong position to advance.

In the US, the match (2 p.m. ET start time) will be televised on Fox (English) and Telemundo (Spanish).

If you don’t have cable, you can watch a live stream of the match on FuboTV or DirecTV Stream, which both include Fox and come with a free trial.

Those are the two best live stream options if you’re cutting cable, but there are also some other alternatives for both English and Spanish broadcasts, so here’s a full guide on the different ways to watch England vs USA streaming live online:

England vs USA Preview

With the U.S. mustering a 1-1 tie against Wales to open World Cup play on Monday, beating England on Friday becomes a matter of prime importance.

England won its opener 6-2 over Iran on Monday to take first place in Group B. Iran bounced back from its loss to England and beat Wales 2-0 earlier on Friday.

The U.S. advacned past the group state with just one win in its last two World Cup appearances. This time could prove more daunting without a win over England because the U.S. would need to beat Iran to advance.

“I believe is that on our best day we can beat anyone in the world, anyone,” U.S. head coach Gregg Berhalter told the media via TalkSport.com. “It is a great honor to play in the World Cup, but we don’t want to just be participants. We want to perform.”

“We think the first step is getting out of the group,” Berhalter added. “And the second step is, in the knockout games, playing our best possible game and seeing how far we can go.”

England comes into Friday’s match as the No. 5-rated team inthe world by FIFA. The U.S. ranked No. 16, and Iran ranks No. 20. Wales notably ranks No. 19, and the U.S. couldn’t put together two strong halves against the Welsh.

“This is a good period for English football,” England head coach Gareth Southgate told reporters via BBC.com“At junior level, at senior level, with our women’s team, there’s lots of positive things going on.”

“We feel we can be competitive for many years to come and that’s the aim — to have a sustained challenge in the later stages of the big competitions and we’ve not done that for years and years,” Southgate added. “These players are putting the country on the map and regaining our respectability on the world stage — we need to keep doing that.”

England won it all in 1966 and earned two fourth-place finishes in 1990 and 2018. While England dwarfs the U.S.’s soccer success, the U.S. has beatned the British on the soccer field before. The first time happened in 1950 when the U.S. defeated England 1-0 at the World Cup.

That’s the only time the U.S. beat England in a game that counted. The U.S. won a friendly 2-0 in 1993, and all but two matches between the two nations have been friendlies or exhibition matches. England tied the U.S. 1-1 in their only other World Cup match in 2010.
