Every four years, something strange happens. People who haven’t thought about soccer since the last World Cup suddenly care very much about it, and I’m one of them. I spend most of my time arguing about build orders in strategy games or grinding ranked matches, but the moment the World Cup starts, I’m glued to a screen watching eleven guys kick a ball around a field for 90 minutes and somehow caring deeply about the outcome.
This year is different though. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is on home turf, spread across the USA, Canada, and Mexico, and for the first time in a long time the question isn’t “where do I find a stream” but “how do I get to the stadium.” A lot of people are actually going. Friends from Europe, South America, Asia, all making the trip. And the first thing any of them asks when they land is how they get data without their carrier charging them like it’s 2009.
The answer is Saily. Our friends over at Gizmodo negotiated an exclusive deal that gets you 35% off the Saily North America plan with the coupon code GIZMODO at checkout. That plan runs on a single eSIM across the USA, Canada, and Mexico, which is exactly what you need if you’re catching games in multiple cities. Full details on Gizmodo’s exclusive deal page.
For everything else Saily sells, the same GIZMODO coupon code gives you 15% off year-round. Country plans, regional plans, global plans. It’s the best Saily coupon code you can get in 2026, and it comes from the same people who spend all day reviewing gadgets for a living.
Quick word on VPNs
There’s something else worth knowing if you’re planning to stream games from back home. A lot of international fans traveling to North America will find that the matches they want to watch are geo-blocked on foreign streaming services, and a VPN that changes your apparent location is the standard fix for that.
NordVPN is the obvious place to start if you’re already in the Saily ecosystem, given that NordVPN and Saily are both owned by Nord Security. ExpressVPN just became the first VPN provider to sign an official FIFA partnership, so they’re pushing hard this summer too. Either way, that’s a separate purchase from your eSIM but worth sorting before the group stage kicks off.
