How to Stream Mexico vs South Africa With NordVPN
Stateside, the opener is free over the air on FOX, with Spanish commentary on Telemundo. Step outside the country, though, and the stream throws up an invisible wall, the digital equivalent of a region lock on an import cartridge. A VPN swaps your apparent location for one inside the right country, and the gate opens.
Think of it as a quick fetch quest with a real payoff. I ran the whole thing across the screens I actually use. NordVPN connected on a UK server, and I opened ITVX, which carries this match in the UK, on a Steam Deck in desktop mode, then mirrored it to the living-room TV, then checked the phone app on the couch. Three devices, one account, no drama, and the app store rating for the ITVX app backs up that it behaves on handhelds. The one gotcha worth flagging: you need the correct server city, not just any UK node, or the player sulks and refuses to load. Swap cities and it sorts itself out. The deeper dive lives in our best VPN roundup.

Paying for ViX or a Cable Bundle? Read This First
If you already pay for a live-TV bundle that carries FOX, or for ViX Premium to get every match in Spanish, you are covered and you do not need anything else. Worth keeping in mind only if you intend to grind all 104 fixtures; for this single opener, the free routes on FOX and ITVX get you there without spending a credit.
Other VPNs Worth a Look for Mexico vs South Africa
NordVPN is the one I keep equipped, but a couple of names US players already know hold their own during tournament season. Proton VPN runs about $2.99 a month on its two-year plan with a 30-day refund window, Private Internet Access starts around $2.19 a month on the same two-year deal, and ExpressVPN comes in from $2.79 a month, also 30 days. Treat the guarantees like a free trial run and bail if it is not your vibe.
What’s Coming Next
Kickoff lands at 3 p.m. ET (8 p.m. BST, 1 p.m. local) at Mexico City’s Estadio Azteca, recently rebranded Estadio Banorte, a venue thin on oxygen at 2,200 meters and hot at midday, which is why the local start time is so early.
It is a rerun of the 2010 opener these two played to a 1-1 draw. Mexico are Group A favorites after bowing out early in 2022; South Africa are back after 16 years away. Once your setup works, it carries through the rest of the tournament, same servers, same steps. Our NordVPN review spells out what you get long-term.
