Watch South Africa v Brazil live streams FOR FREE in the UK
You can watch South Africa v Brazil live streams for FREE on BBC iPlayer in the UK. The service is free to use but an up-to-date TV Licence is a legal requirement to stream live television in the UK. You also need to complete a simple registration to use iPlayer.

You can still watch your usual service if you’re outside the UK this weekend with the help of a good VPN. More information on that below…
Stream South Africa v Brazil from anywhere
Most streaming services are geo-blocked, meaning you can’t use them outside your home country. This doesn’t have to be a problem for the globetrotting sports fan, however. A handy piece of software called a VPN (or Virtual Private Network, if brevity’s not your thing) can help you tune in as if you were enjoying the match on your own sofa.
How do VPNs do this? They have the clever ability to change the IP address of your laptop, smartphone or tablet, making the device appear to be in another country. This means you can use your usual streamer to watch as you would back home. Good VPNs are also a safe and convenient way to improve your online security.
There are lots of VPNs on the market but the tech experts at TechRadar and Tom’s Guide rate NordVPN as the best right now.
70% off + 3 months FREE
“NordVPN delivers the best balance of privacy, usability, extra features, and value for money,” say Tom’s Guide, which is quite the endorsement. It unblocks all major streaming platforms, and also comes with a money-back guarantee and a big discount!
