United States womenâs national soccer team vs Portugal live stream (8/1): How to watch online
The United States women’s national soccer team is back on the pitch Tuesday, Aug. 1, when it faces Portugal in the FIFA Women’s World Cup. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and on DirecTV Stream (free trial).
The USWNT, which leads the group with four points and a plus-three goal differential, can advance to the Round of 16 with a win or draw against Portugal. The USA could even advance to the knockout rounds with a loss to the Portuguese but that would call for the unlikely scenario of a Vietnam win over the Netherlands with the US keeping its lead of the Dutch on goal differential.

The United States will win the group with a victory over Portugal and a loss or draw by the Netherlands against Vietnam. The Americans could also top the group with a win and a Netherlands win, provided the Dutch do not catch the USA on goal differential, which is the first tie breaker. If level on goal differential, the next tiebreaker is goals scored, followed by Fair Play points.

The U.S. women’s national soccer team starts at 2 a.m. (3 a.m. ET) on Tuesday, Aug. 1.
