World Cup 2014 Opening Ceremony live streaming: How to watch Pitbull and co. online

Pitbull is here to sing songs about the World Cup. Let’s have a real good time, let’s have a real good time, let’s have a real good time, let’s have a real good time, let’s have a real good time. Update: See the best moments and GIFs from the World Cup opening ceremony

SB Nation's 2014 World Cup Preview'

Before the last World Cup in South Africa, there was a massive 2-hour concert the day before the first game of the tournament, featuring fantastic acts like Juanes, Amadou and Miriam, Hugh Masakela and K'Naan. The opening ceremonies for Brazil 2014 are considerably shorter, on the day of the event, and features no acts of that caliber.

However, the opening ceremony does feature Pitbull, who is guaranteed to have a REAL GOOD TIME while performing “We Are One”, the official World Cup anthem, which features Jennifer Lopez and Brazilian singer Claudia Leitte. While this sounds extraordinarily lame compared to the last concert, it is worth nothing that the Black Eyed Peas performed in South Africa and even interrupted Juanes’ set with some terrible rapping.

The World Cup Opening Ceremony begins at 2 p.m. ET.

If you live in the United States, you can catch the World Cup opening ceremonies streaming online at ESPN3. If you don’t have access to ESPN3 or you would prefer to watch with Spanish audio, it’s also streaming on Univision En Vivo.

In Canada, you can watch on CBC Sports live streaming, and in the U.K., it’s on ITV Player. You can check listings for other countries at Live Soccer TV.
