The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations knockout stage commences Saturday with a pair of matches. The second of those will be a matchup between a pair of group-stage runners-up, as Group A’s Nigeria will battle Group C’s Cameroon for a spot in the quarterfinals.
This must-watch match is about to kick off, at 3:00 p.m. ET, and will be televised on beIN Sports Xtra, beIN Sports 4 and beIN Sports 5. If you don’t have cable or don’t have access to any of those channels, we’re here with a rundown of some different ways you can watch a live stream of Nigeria vs Cameroon for free.
Typically, the one drawback with Sling, which is one of the cheapest and most simple live-TV streaming services out there, is that it doesn’t come with a free trial. But while that’s true for the Sling base packages, the “Soccer Pass” package can currently be had for free for your first three days, and then it’s just $5 per month after that. It comes with just four channels, but three of those are beIN Sports, beIN Sports Xtra and beIN Sports En Español, giving you everything you need to watch every AFCON match.
If you’ve already used up your free three-day Sling trial, or if you’re simply looking for another option, Fubo is the only other way you can watch a free live stream of the match. The Fubo “Pro” plan includes 180-plus total channels, including every single beIN Sports channel–beIN Sports, beIN Sports Xtra, beIN Sports En Español and beIN Sports 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. This option normally costs $80 per month, but it comes with a free seven-day trial, meaning you could watch all of the Round of 16 before needing to pay anything.
If you’re out of the country but you’re trying to use a US-only streaming service such as Sling or Fubo, you can try a virtual private network (VPN), which hides/alters your location and lets you access sites in the United States even while abroad. There are plenty of good VPN’s to choose from, but NordVPN is highly recommended. It’s safe, doesn’t limit your streaming speeds and is dirt-cheap if you decide to pay long-term. There’s also a 30-day money-back guarantee, allowing you to try it out risk-free.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
