Over-the-Air (OTA) TV Antenna
Because the English-language broadcast for this highly anticipated match is on FS1 (a premium cable network), an over-the-air antenna won't pick it up. However, the Spanish-language broadcast is airing on a major local network channel, Telemundo. This means you can watch the Spanish network feed 100% free using a standard digital TV antenna plugged straight into your television.
For Spanish commentary: Tune into your local Telemundo broadcast station.
