With just a few games to go now, you won't want to miss out on the best part of the tournament. So sit back and let us show you where to watch Rugby World Cup live streams for free from anywhere. The semi-finals are coming up this weekend on Friday and Saturday, and these viewing options will cover you for the final and third-place playoff next week, too. 

First, we have New Zealand vs. Argentina, with the All Blacks finding a strong run of form late and narrowly beating Ireland last week. The Argentinian underdogs won't go down easily, as displayed by a dramatic second-half comeback against Wales in the quarters. As for the other match, nobody will be more surprised than England to find out they've reached the semis after an otherwise abysmal year - they have been blessed with a very favorable draw thus far, though. Their opponents and current holders of the World Cup, South Africa, will be looking to put them back in their place. And you can see them all for free!

If you don't have a proper watch option in your country, we'll show you how to watch Rugby World Cup live streams for free using a VPN. Short for virtual private network, these handy apps let your devices mimic various international locations of your choosing so that you can hop onto one of the all-inclusive streaming sources listed below. 

Where to watch free Rugby World Cup live streams from anywhere 

You can catch all of the Rugby World Cup action using the free ITVX live stream in the United Kingdom, offering up every match. ITV1 specifically is showing all the remaining games. While ITVX is a UK-based platform, you can access it from anywhere using a VPN.

A VPN virtually changes your devices' location, so apps and websites think you're connecting from servers within those countries. In the case of the Rugby World Cup, you can connect through a UK server, and ITV will let you in with no fuss after creating a free email login. You can also use VPNs to sign up for cheap streaming services such as Peacock (it's also showing all Rugby World Cup games starting at $5.99 monthly).

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. If you're unsatisfied, there's a hassle-free 30-day money-back guarantee.
