Argentina vs Austria today: how to watch live

Argentina enters today’s matchup against Austria with the spotlight right where it has been for years: on Lionel Messi. The defending World Cup champions opened their tournament with a convincing 3-0 win over Algeria, and Messi turned it into another historic night, scoring a hat trick to move into a tie with Miroslav Klose for the most goals in World Cup history. He came into the tournament with 13, now has 16, and is just one goal away from owning the record on his own. For a player already widely considered the greatest of all time, today’s match gives him another chance to add to a legacy that somehow keeps growing. Austria won its first game of the tournament as well, so this is about more than Messi’s chase for history. The winner of today’s matchup will be in the catbird seat to win the group and set itself up for the best possible draw heading into the knockout rounds. Argentina and Messi will be heavy favorites, especially after the way they started the tournament, but this World Cup has already delivered enough surprises to make every match feel dangerous. Austria has a chance to make a statement of its own, while Argentina has a chance to keep rolling and watch Messi stand alone at the top of the World Cup scoring list.

How to stream Argentina vs Austria without cable Argentina is back on the World Cup stage today for a Group J matchup against Austria, and the game will be broadcast nationally on FOX. Cord-cutters have a few ways to watch, but Sling TV should be the first stop for fans who want a more affordable live TV streaming option and a service that can also help cover FS1 games later in the tournament. For today’s match, the key is whether Sling carries your local FOX station. Local channel access varies by market, so fans should check their zip code on Sling’s site before signing up. If FOX is included where you live, Sling Essentials and Sling Blue are the main packages to consider for Argentina vs Austria. Sling Select and the Blue packages also include FS1, which makes them more useful if you’re planning to watch more World Cup matches beyond this one. Sling can also work through FOX One.

For this matchup, these are the Sling options worth looking at: Sling is our top pick for fans who want to keep costs down while still accessing World Cup coverage on FOX in select markets and on FS1 through certain packages. That said, fans have several other streaming options, with each of these platforms carrying FOX and FS1 in its base package: Peacock is also carrying Argentina vs Austria for fans who want the Spanish-language broadcast. The service has every World Cup match available in Spanish, but fans looking for English coverage will need FOX, FOX One, or a live TV streaming platform that carries FOX.
