Watch knockout World Cup matches for free in a rare Amazon offer

This World Cup is the biggest yet with 48 nations battling it out across a record 104 matches over 39 days of football. Many of the key fixtures can be streamed free of charge on Prime Video's ITVX channel, offering a rare opportunity for fans to watch knockout matches without paying for a subscription.

Prime Video is offering live and on-demand games from the FIFA World Cup for free with a seven-day trial of ITVX Premium. This promotional offer includes highlights of every game and full classic matches, with all content accessible on various devices including smart TVs, smartphones, tablets or laptops. This enables football supporters to keep up with the World Cup during their daily commute or while on holiday, all without spending a penny.

The platform has a dedicated highlights programme summarising the key moments from every fixture, making Prime Video the go-to destination for World Cup coverage. After the free trial, ITVX Premium will renew at the usual 5.99 per month, providing access to the biggest knockout games through to the final on July 19.

The seven-day promotional offer grants access to crucial matches this week. Tonight's Belgium v Senegal game kicks off at 9pm, while Argentina will face Cape Verde at 11pm UK time on Friday July 3. After the promotional period ends, ITVX Premium will automatically renew at the standard cost of 5.99 per month unless you cancel.

It is important to remember that some programmes might be unavailable for streaming outside the UK. Alternatively, the BBC is showing a selection of World Cup matches on BBC One, BBC Two and BBC iPlayer.

Viewers have been outspoken in their appreciation of coverage, with one fan posting on X: "ITV is in a different league. It's not even close." England has secured their place in the World Cup's round of 32 following a 2-0 victory that saw them finish top of Group L on seven points.
