How to watch USA vs. Canada in the USAThe USA vs. Canada game will air on ABC in the US. If you don't have access to the network through cable or antenna, there are a variety of live streaming services that will be able to help you out today. One of the cheapest options is ESPN Plus, which costs $12/month. The streaming service offers select live sports from ABC and ESPN, in addition to its own suite of exclusive live content.ESPN Plus will also live stream the February 20 Championship game, but if you're hoping to try out a streaming service that will carry the entirety of the tournament, you might want to give a live TV streaming service like Sling TV or DirecTV Stream a go.Sling TV will be your cheapest option. To access ABC, you'll need to opt for Sling Blue (although local channel availability varies from region to region, so you'll need to look up your zip code before signing up). If you're hoping to watch the rest of the tournament, which is spread across ESPN and TNT, you should opt for the Sling Orange + Blue plan, which costs $61/month. The combo plan carries nearly 50 live channels. New users can get 50% off their first month of service, making it just $30.50 today.DirecTV Stream is another popular live TV streaming service with tons of popular networks. The DirecTV Stream Entertainment plan offers 90+ live channels, including broad ABC, ESPN, and TNT coverage for $87/month. DirecTV Stream MySports is a little bit cheaper, at $70/month, but (like Sling) ABC coverage varies by region so you should see your available channels before subscribing. All DirecTV Stream plans come with a five-day free trial.Fubo also carries broad live ABC coverage, in addition to over 150 other live channels in its Essential plan. However, Fubo doesn't carry TNT, so this option will be best just for tonight's game and the Championship. Subscriptions start at $85/month, but new users can get up to $25 off their first month of service. All Fubo plans come with a one-week free trial.How to watch USA vs. Canada from anywhereIf you're traveling away from home, you can still keep up with your usual watch options with the help of a VPN (virtual private network).
