Your best bet is to visit the official FIFA website or the broadcaster lists for your country. Failing that, become a social media detective: search #EngvJpn on Twitter at kickoff. You’ll either find a link or witness a hilarious thread of people complaining about buffering. Either way, it’s entertainment.
Or just use a VPN and pretend you’re in Japan. Yes, you can watch the match on NHK World with a VPN—just be prepared for commentary that sounds like someone narrating a peaceful garden scene. “And… the ball… it rolls… with grace.” Honestly, it’s more relaxing than a yoga class.
So there you go: your TV, a dodgy stream, or a pub full of strangers. Wherever you watch England vs. Japan, remember that football is about joy, not perfection. And if all else fails, close your eyes and imagine the beautiful game. It’s cheaper, and you can’t hear the VAR drama.
