How to watch Ecuador vs Paraguay live streams for FREE

The Ecuador vs Paraguay live stream features two sides with realistic hopes of qualifying for the 2026 World Cup. There are only two points between the sides, so this really is all to play for – and you can watch it from anywhere with a VPN, and potentially for FREE.

Ecuador sitting in fourth place of CONMEBOL qualifying for the 2026 World Cup is all the more impressive when you consider that la Tri’s points tally would be bigger to the tune of three without the deduction handed out for falsifying Byron Castillo’s birth documents during the previous qualifying campaign. Sebastián Beccacece’s side have won four of their eight games thus far, including a 1-0 defeat of Peru last time out in which captain Enner Valencia scored his record-extending 42nd international goal. The Copa America quarter-finalists will want another victory.

Paraguay are seventh, meaning they would occupy the intercontinental play-off spot at the halfway stage of qualifying. Existing in almost pure binary, los Guaraníes have scored just two and conceded only three times in their eight matches, every game ending 0-0 or 1-0. Inter Miami’s Diego Gomez scored the winner to upset Brazil 1-0 in September, with Newcastle winger Miguel Almirón in need of game time after sliding down the pecking order at St James’ Park.

Make sure you don’t miss a moment of the Ecuador vs Paraguay live stream wherever you are.

How to watch Ecuador vs Paraguay in the U.S.

Soccer fans in the U.S. who want to watch Ecuador vs Paraguay can do so on Fanatiz, via the streaming platform’s PPV package for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers taking place on matchdays 9 and 10. 

Unfortunately, it isn’t cheap and will set you back $99.99. That fee does, though, give you one free month’s access to the Fanatiz Front-Row plan, which includes the Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana and plenty more, including other World Cup 2026 qualifiers from matchdays 9 and 10. That means Venezuela vs Argentina, Bolivia vs Colombia and Chile vs Brazil (Oct. 10) and Uruguay vs Ecuador (Oct.15), but unfortunately not Argentina vs Bolivia and Brazil vs Peru (both Oct. 15). 

If you already have a Fanatiz subscription, unfortunately, you will still have to shell out for one of the aforementioned PPV packages to watch Ecuador vs Paraguay.

If you already use those services but aren’t in the U.S. right now, you can watch an Ecuador vs Paraguay by using a VPN such as NordVPN.
