The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but they do tend to offer generous money-back guarantees.

This is obviously not a long-term strategy, but it gives you enough time to stream multiple weekends before recovering your investment
ExpressVPN’s regular 30-day money-back guarantee is not available for any subscriptions purchased during the FIFA World Cup between June 10 and July 11.
