The 2023 FIBA World Cup officially started on Friday with Australia vs Finland in Japan and Angola vs Italy in the Philippines. So, where can fans around the world watch the exciting tournament? One option is ESPN Plus, but is there a free trial for incoming subscribers?
According to TV Guide, ESPN Plus does not offer a free trial, and a subsription will cost subscribers $10. It's not a bad deal, as ESPN Plus will show all 86 games at the World Cup. The tournament won't last more than a month, so some can unsubscribe at the end of it on Sept. 10.
For those who want a free trial, Fubo TV offers it for seven days. However, it's expensive and will cost $75 a month. Once you sign up for a free trial, the subscription moves into a rolling one-month deal.

Team USA is favorite to win 2023 FIBA World Cup
Team USA is the overwhelming betting favorite to win the 2023 FIBA World Cup. That's despite having a relatively young roster led by stars like Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, Jalen Brunson, Austin Reaves and Jaren Jackson Jr.
It's been almost a decade since the Americans won the World Cup. They last won in 2014 when the team was composed of Steph Curry, Kyrie Irving, Klay Thompson and James Harden.
Regardless of how the odds are in favor of Team USA, teams like France, Canada, Spain, Germany and Australia could pose a threat. Spain and Germany kept it close against them during their tune-up games before the tournament.
