The match schedule is posted below. Their Facebook feed says it’s free to view, pointing to the Instagram account of @fubosports. The website link they give there is fubosportsnetwork.com. If you visit that website from Canada you’re told to sign up for a fubo.tv account which isn’t free. If you visit the website from the USA, or from Canada through a USA location with VPN, then you can watch the content for free.
They’re holding the tournament on a weekend with a lot of international rugby, so it will be interesting to see their viewing numbers. Next weekend the tournament moves to Washington D.C. and finishes off on the 30th of the month in Austin.
