We've also looked through the quality paid options in different international markets to see where the best prices are. For example, in the US, it will only cost you $5 to watch the entire tournament via a streaming bundle that includes the required channel, BeIn. If you want to watch every game for free, you'll want to check out SABC, a channel in South Africa that will show every game. The UK's BBC will show ten games throughout the tournament for free, including the semis and the final. If you're not in the UK or South Africa, you'll need a VPN to get around geo-restrictions. 

How to watch AFCON live streams for free from anywhere 

If you want access to every match of this year's Africa Cup of Nations, South African TV channel SABC has your back, with no sign-up required. The main hitch is that you'll need a VPN to tune in outside of South Africa, as you'll get an error message when you try to hit play on their AFCON live stream.

Don't worry. You can push through the block with a VPN and start watching once you set its location to South Africa. A VPN virtually changes your devices' location, so apps and websites think you're connecting from servers within those countries, just like the local viewers.

Don't have a VPN? There's a fantastic offer right now on the best VPN we've tested and have been using for years for streaming and beefing up our online security. You can pick up ExpressVPN, save 49% on the usual price, and get three months for free. It's the best investment in your sports-watching future if you know you'll want to watch more international sports streams. It's one of the few reliable VPNs with decent South African servers.

The same VPN will also let you tune into the UK's coverage of select AFCON games shown on BBC3 and the iPlayer. Coverage is much more limited, though, with only ten games, including the semis and the final. Most other games are yet to be announced, but we can confirm that the next BBC game is on January 18 for Egypt vs. Ghana at 3 p.m. ET /8 p.m. GMT. Scrolling through the TV guides, it looks like the next BBC matches after that will be on January 27 and 29, which will be round-of-16 games at 8 p.m. GMT. We'll update this guide with more confirmed BBC fixtures as they come in.

If you're unsatisfied with the VPN, there's a hassle-free 30-day money-back guarantee. Want to learn more about the product? Take a look at our detailed ExpressVPN review.
