Carries every Women’s World Cup game for free in New Zealand
Despite having never reached this far in the World Cup before, and having looked decidedly shaky in their 4-0 defeat to Japan in the group stages, Spain come into this clash as favorites to progress, following their superb 2-1 win over the Netherlands in their quarterfinal tie.
Sweden meanwhile put in a superb display against Japan in their last-eight tie, with the 2-1 score line not reflecting their dominance during that match.
The two sides played out a 1-1 stalemate in their last meeting in a friendly back in October last year, which saw goals from Marta Cardona and Rebecka Blomqvist, and a similarly tight game looks in store today.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch Spain vs. Sweden, no matter where you are in the world.

Quick tips for streaming the 2023 Women’s World Cup using a VPN
With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming the Women’s World Cup action live may vary.
If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
