A free AFCON live stream is just a few clicks away for the final two games of the tournament this weekend.
We've covered viewing options for the whole tournament a few times over the years, and if you're looking for the latest on where to watch the African Cup of Nations, the options below will cover you for both the bronze medal match of Egypt vs. Nigeria on Saturday, and Senegal vs. Morocco in the final on Sunday.
Want to watch for free? Then check out SABC in South Africa or Channel 4 in the UK. If you're not in those countries, a VPN can navigate around geo-restrictions.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) masks your device's actual location, allowing you to stream content from international sites you'd otherwise be unable to access.

How to watch AFCON live streams for free from anywhere
There are two excellent free AFCON live streams available. In the UK, there's Channel 4's E4, and in South Africa, there's SABC Sport. A VPN can help you bypass geo-blocking and stream like a local.
A VPN virtually changes your devices' locations, so apps and websites think you're connecting from servers in those countries. We've tested both options throughout the current AFCON tournament without any issues.
Don't have a VPN? There's a fantastic offer available right now on one of our trusted favorites that we have been using for years for streaming and enhancing our online security. You can pick up NordVPN, save 70% on the usual price, and get three extra months for free. It's the best investment in your sports-watching future if you know you'll want to watch more international sports streams. It's one of the few reliable VPNs with decent servers in South Africa.
If you're unsatisfied with the VPN, a hassle-free 30-day money-back guarantee is available. Want to learn more about the product? Take a look at our detailed NordVPN review.
How to watch the Africa Cup of Nations with a VPN

How to watch the Africa Cup of Nations in the UK
Channel 4 has the rights to every AFCON live stream this time around, and you'll find the last two games are broadcasting on their E4 channel.
The Channel 4 streaming site will require a VPN if you're viewing outside the UK. You will also need to create a free account and sign in to watch.
How to watch the Africa Cup of Nations in the USA
If you want to watch AFCON online in the USA, it's available on the BeIN network. If you don't already have their channels in your TV package, you can get them at a very affordable rate this weekend.
For just $5, Sling TV lets you buy the required Soccer Pass without signing up for a pricey paid base package.
That's an absolute steal. If you're outside the US and considering diving in via a VPN, just be aware you'll need a US payment method to pay for it. Get around that, though, and the same VPN we mentioned above will let you stream the channel.
Alternatively, you can use a VPN to access the free options we mentioned earlier in the UK and South Africa.
Note: VPN use is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content may constitute a breach of the terms of use for some services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
