If you’re a fan of the Guatemalan national soccer team and want to watch their upcoming games, there are a few different options available depending on where you live and what platforms you have access to. In the opening paragraphs, I’ll provide a quick overview of the main ways to watch Guatemala games for free or through paid services.
Watching Guatemala Games on TV
The most straightforward way to watch Guatemala national team games is on your television. However, availability varies significantly depending on where you live:
- In Guatemala, Guatemala games are usually broadcast on major national channels like Guatevision. You can watch games live on TV for free if you have access to these channels.
- In the United States, you’ll need access to Spanish-language sports channels like Univision, UniMás, or TUDN to watch Guatemala games. These require a paid TV subscription.
- In other Central American countries, Guatemala games may be available on certain regional sports networks. Check programming schedules for channels that carry CONCACAF games.
If you don’t have a TV provider that carries the necessary sports channels, watching Guatemala matches live on television may be difficult. Keep reading for some alternative streaming options.
Watching Online Through Official Broadcasters
Many major broadcasters now offer free streaming options on their websites or apps in addition to televised programming:
- Guatevision – When Guatemala games are airing on this channel, you should be able to find a free live stream on their website.
- Univision, UniMás, TUDN – While you’ll need a pay TV login to access most content, some streaming may be available without requiring login credentials.
Checking the website or app of the channel broadcasting a Guatemala match in your region is worth a try to see if they offer free streaming. However, availability is inconsistent and you may run into login walls.
Subscribing to a Live TV Streaming Service
Live TV streaming platforms like these offer full access to channels that carry Guatemala games, but require a paid subscription:
- FuboTV – Offers TUDN, Univision, UniMás and many Guatemalan/Latino channels. Plans start at $35/month.
- Sling TV – Univision and UniMás available on some plans. TUDN available as add-on for $5-10 more. Plans start at $20/month.
- Hulu + Live TV – Carries Univision and TUDN. $55/month for base plan.
- YouTube TV – Carries Univision & TUDN. $55/month after trial.
Subscribing to one of these services provides consistent access to live Guatemala national team games in HD quality. But the monthly costs may be prohibitive if you only want to watch the occasional match.
Watching Highlights and Replays
If you don’t need to watch Guatemala matches live, catching highlights or full replays online is an easy option. Several websites provide highlights from Guatemala games and other CONCACAF matches shortly after they air:
- YouTube – Search for “Guatemala soccer highlights” to find official and fan uploads.
- CONCACAF Go – The CONCACAF YouTube channel frequently posts Guatemala match highlights.
- ESPN FC – This website offers Guatemala match replays and highlights.
Full match replays are harder to find for free online, but some paid services offer access:
- ESPN+ – $9.99/month. Provides on-demand full replays of many CONCACAF matches.
- FuboTV – Their base plan includes access to replay most matches within 3 days.
Using a VPN to Access International Streams
If you have no viable option to watch Guatemala games through broadcasters in your region, using a VPN is a workaround. A VPN allows you to mask your IP address and access region-restricted streams:
- Sign up for a reliable VPN service like ExpressVPN or NordVPN.
- Connect to a Guatemalan server to make streaming sites think you are in Guatemala.
- Try accessing streaming options from Guatemalan broadcasters like Guatevision that were previously unavailable in your location.
VPN streaming brings risks of unstable connections and platform bans if detected. But when legal options are exhausted, a VPN may be the only way to conveniently watch online.
Listening on Radio or Audio Streams
If you just want to follow along with Guatemala game commentary without a visual, radio broadcasts are an option:
- Radio Guatemala – Carries live coverage of many matches.
- Fútbol Guatemala app – Streams live radio commentary in Spanish.
- CONCACAF app – Provides live English and Spanish match commentary.
Radio can provide lively coverage of Guatemala matches even if you can’t watch. Listening along in the background is easier than tuning in to a stream.
Attending Guatemala Watch Parties
For the most social and enthusiastic Guatemala viewing experience, find out if any nearby Guatemalan restaurants, bars, or community centers are hosting watch parties for games. These are great places to join fellow fans to root for Guatemala.
Check event listings on sites like Facebook or Eventbrite for Guatemala soccer viewing parties in your city. Some good bets include:
- Local Guatemalan restaurants or bars
- Latin/Hispanic cultural centers
- University student groups
Attending watch parties is a fun way to support Guatemala. And venues often provide the game stream for free or play the broadcast audio.
Following Along via Live Score Updates
If you won’t have any access to a live video or audio stream for Guatemala games, live score updates can keep you informed:
- FIFA.com – Provides continuously updated box scores and play-by-play.
- CONCACAF app – Gives live scores and stats from Guatemala matches.
- TheScore app – Covers Guatemala games with live scores and news alerts.
While less immersive than watching or listening, live score updates let you track Guatemala match results in real time from anywhere.
Conclusion
Guatemala national team games can be challenging to find on mainstream US/international sports platforms. But with the right streaming service subscription, site for highlights, or location for a watch party, you have decent options to follow the action. Prioritize free streaming options from Guatemalan broadcasters when available. And consider pay services like FuboTV or ESPN+ for reliable access on demand.
