SBS The World Game
SBS has the live rights to all 18 matches of the International Champions Cup. Of those, 17 will air on SBS Viceland, but all 18 will be streaming live for free in HD on SBS's football home online, the World Game.
Fixtures are live only which means if you miss a match, you'll only get access to a short highlights reel on The World Game. The alternative would be to take up a free trial or subscription to Kayo Sports, which is streaming all matches live as well as on demand.
You can watch The World Game on your iPhone, iPad, or your Android device. You can watch it in a web browser on a PC or Mac.
Kayo
Australia’s “Netflix of sports” has a lot to offer Aussie fans of soccer, including every match of the International Champions Cup live and on demand.
You can sign up for a 14-day free trial before committing to a subscription, which is $25 per month to watch on two simultaneous screens, or $35 per month to watch on three simultaneous screens.
And as well as coverage of the events themselves, Kayo comes with a range of unique features designed specifically for sports fans.
There's the option to watch SplitView, so you can keep track of the soccer and other sports that might be happening at the same time. There's also the pop-out player, which sits in the corner of your desktop screen so you can keep one eye on the match while you get on with whatever else you have to do online.
There's also the "key moments" feature which will help you navigate straight to the hottest moments of a match if you're starting late or catching up on demand.
One of the other benefits of choosing Kayo to watch the ICC is the greater number of options for streaming live onto your big-screen TV. You can watch Kayo on your TV using an Apple TV (4th generation), Telstra TV, Google Chromecast, or via the Kayo app if you have a smart TV with Android 7.1 or above.
If you prefer to watch on a smaller screen there's an app available for iPhone/iPad as well as Android phones and tablets. Or you can watch on your computer with Google Chrome, Firefox or Safari.
