The FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup wraps up this weekend, and France, Germany, Spain, and the United States have all advanced to the semifinals. We've rounded up everything you need to know about where to watch the FIBA Women's World Cup, including global streaming options.

The US women's team is looking to defend its title and win its fifth consecutive World Cup (a 12th World Cup title overall). France, Spain, and host Germany are all proving to be worthy adversaries, but only one team can come out on top on Sunday. Keep reading to learn how to tune into the four remaining games from anywhere.

In the US, select games from the FIBA Women's Basketball World Cup will air across TNT, truTV, and TBS. This TV broadcast coverage will apply to marquee games, including select group stages match-ups (including Team USA and Team France coverage) and knockout stages.

For comprehensive coverage of absolutely every game of the tournament, you'll need HBO Max. Live sports are available in the Standard and Premium tiers (not the Basic with Ads Option). HBO Max Standard starts at $18.49 a month. If you're looking for a little more bang for your buck, you can get an ad-free Disney Plus bundle with Hulu and HBO Max for $33 a month.

HBO Max's Standard plan includes ad-free on-demand streaming for HBO series, Warner Bros. blockbusters, original HBO Max shows, and much more. Plus, all ad-free subscribers get the B/R Sports Add-on, so they can live stream NBA, NHL, MLB, and more for no extra cost.

If you'd prefer to tune in via a streaming service that carries TNT, truTV, TBS, and other channels, then a live TV streaming service will do the trick. YouTube TV is one of our top recommendations right now because it offers a massive selection of channels typically found in cable packages, plus a free trial for new customers.

A limited-time YouTube TV deal discounts the first several months of service for both YouTube TV's main plan and sports plan, both of which carry TNT, TBS, and truTV. The main plan typically costs $83 a month, but first-time customers can get $15 a month off their first five months of service (that's $68 a month for five months). The sports plan usually costs $65 a month, but new customers can get $20 a month off their first six months of service (that's $45 a month for half a year).

YouTube TV's main plan carries over 100 channels, ranging from local networks to cable favorites.

A DAZN Courtside 1891 subscription (which is different from a standard DAZN subscription) will also carry coverage in several regions, including the US. Subscriptions start at $12 a month for flexible standard plans. All upcoming games are currently featured on the US DAZN Courtside 1891 landing page, but it's worth double-checking any blackout restrictions in your market before subscribing (especially for games that are also broadcast on TV).

Other countries have various broadcast agreements, often for select games featuring their team. You should consult your local broadcasters and TV guide to see what's available in your region. DAZN Courtside 1891 will also offer coverage of the tournament in several countries. Blackout restrictions exist, especially where other exclusive broadcast agreements have been made.

If you happen to be traveling through a region where you can't access your usual watch options, it might be time to try a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are handy tech tools that let people temporarily alter their virtual locations. This way, their favorite websites and apps work just like they would back home.

NordVPN is our top recommendation. It's fast, user-friendly, and has a 30-day money-back guarantee if you find that it's not helping you out. You can learn more in our NordVPN review.

NordVPN is top of the pile of the best VPN services. It offers excellent value, with a strong feature set and a low monthly price. A wide selection of international servers, high-end security, fast connections, and audited privacy protection have made the brand a household name in the world of VPNs for a reason.

Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Business Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.

I've tested nearly every major streaming platform, many of which I've used for several years (and through several rounds of price hikes and rebrands). I evaluate the apps using our comprehensive streaming testing methodologies, examining content, user-friendliness, cross-device compatibility, and other metrics to see how they hold up in an increasingly competitive market.In addition to entertainment coverage, I also help support our deals and tech verticals.

I'm the first person to know when a streaming service has changed its price, and whether or not it’s still worth paying for.As a sports fan, I also understand the complexities of ensuring you can watch every single game in a season, especially as streaming services continue to pick up exclusive rights to select sporting events.
