Want to watch some free international cricket online? Free Cricket World Cup live streams are available for all the remaining games of the tournament, which at this late stage is just one more semi-final and the final. It's Australia vs. South Africa tomorrow, with the winner going on to meet India in Sunday's final.

Unlike most countries around the world, which charge a sports subscription app fee (we've detailed some of these options, too), Australia is streaming the remaining Cricket World Cup games online for free. If you're not in Australia, though, you'll be unable to tune in without using a VPN (virtual private network) to simulate your viewing device's location. Keep reading on how to get one setup if you don't already have one - it's only a few clicks and will unlock plenty of other free or cheap international sports streaming opportunities. 

2023 Cricket World Cup live stream quick links: Where to watch Cricket World Cup live streams free from anywhere 

Australia is one of the only countries with a free Cricket World Cup live stream, courtesy of streaming service 9Now. Not in Australia? Simply use a VPN to join in. Match selection earlier in the tournament was limited to Australia's games and a few other big international matchups, but all the remaining games are confirmed as showing for free.

Normally, 9Now requires you to be an Australian resident, but a VPN lets you push through the block and sign up for a free account to access the streaming service. 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 Cricket World Cup, you can connect through an Australian server, and 9Now 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 ESPN Plus in the United States, which has plenty of other live sports, starting at $10.99 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. Want to learn more about the product? Take a look at our ExpressVPN review.

Brendan is the Senior Commerce Director at Insider Inc, having joined the company in early 2023. He oversees a wide range of our eCommerce content covering deals, popular sales events, How to Watch guides, and VPN articles. He also utilizes his extensive experience in SEO and Google algorithm updates to help improve content and rankings for a wide range of our shoppable buying guides, reviews, versus content, and more.
He has over 16 years of online journalism experience and a UK University degree in Journalism and Film & Media. Initially working as a freelance gaming journalist and eCommerce editor, he later joined Future Publishing in 2016 as their first-ever Deals Writer at TechRadar. Over the next six years, he became the Deals Editor at TechRadar, then Managing Editor of Hardware & eCommerce at GamesRadar before moving over to Future's mobile tech division to become the eCommerce Content Director for Android Central, iMore, and Windows Central.
Over the years, Brendan has written about a wide range of subjects. Be it covering game previews at GamesCom in Germany, listing the best Amazon Prime Day deals, reviewing gaming controllers, Kindles, and folding smartphones, or even international guides on buying a mattress - he's still quite annoyed that the UK and US have different sizes and names for them.
More recently, he's been covering international How to Watch guides on various sporting events like Formula 1, tennis, Champions League, cricket, or the hottest new movies and TV shows.  
Outside of work, you'll find Brendan trying to make a dent in various watchlists across streaming apps or playing games on his Series X or PS5, usually downloading (hoarding) yet more Game Pass games or grumbling about how open-world games should be scrapped for a solid 10-hour experience like the Uncharted series.
