Paris Saint-Germain welcome Rennes to Parc des Princes for a Coupe de France semifinal clash today. Rennes managed a 1-1 draw when they last visited PSG in February, but they’ll nonetheless be viewed as big underdogs when they take on Les Parisiens, who look to remain alive in their quest for a French Cup/Ligue 1/Champions League treble.
The match is starting soon, at 3:10 p.m. ET, and will be televised on Fox Sports 2 in the United States. However, if you’re looking to watch a live stream of the match, there are three different ways you can do that for free.
There are three live-TV streaming services that include Fox Sports and come with a free trial.
All three of them will work just fine for watching PSG vs Rennes, but we would start with Fubo.
Not only does it have the best channel package, with more than 180 in total, but it also has the longest free trial at seven days. It’s also the best option if you’re particularly interested in French football. That’s because it also includes beIN Sports, which televises most Ligue 1 matches, including PSG vs Clermont on Saturday, and Monaco vs Rennes on Sunday.
YouTube TV‘s “Base Plan” comes with 100-plus channels, including Fox Sports 2. The free trial is only five days long, but this is particular nice thanks to its “multiview” feature, which lets you split your screen into four quadrants if there are multiple games or events you want to watch at once.
Finally, we have DirecTV Stream. You’ll need either the “Ultimate” or “Premier” channel plan to get FS2, but you can include any package you want in your free five-day trial. If you want something long-term, this would be the most expensive, but it does offer a pretty enticing deal of Max, Starz, Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, MGM+ and Cinemax all for free for your first three months ($168 value).
As you can see, all of these services have different things to offer. But ultimately, if you simply want to watch PSG vs Rennes and then cancel before your free trial comes to a close, none of them will let you down.
Trying to watch the match from outside of the United States? You’ll need a virtual private network (VPN) to do that. That’s because a VPN can hide your location and connect you to a server in a different country (in this case, that country would be the US). This makes it look as though you’re actually physically located there, allowing you to access content that would otherwise be restricted.
You can peruse our lists of the best VPN services or the best VPN deals, but if you just want to go with something right now, NordVPN is the top choice. It’s doesn’t limit bandwidth speeds, making it perfect for streaming sports, plus it’s reliable, easy to use and comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

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.
