Fake public Wi-Fi scams threaten World Cup venues

Wed, 06/24/2026 - 00:11

If you're attending one of the 104 games at the 2026 World Cup, or even watching it at a fan event or bar, cybersecurity isn't likely to be on your mind. But maybe it should be, according to a new survey from ExpressVPN.

As part of its inaugural World Cup Wi-Fi Risk Index, ExpressVPN surveyed 6,000 soccer fans from the U.S., UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Australia — and found that 70 percent of those surveyed would trust public Wi-Fi networks by their name alone.

"Fans stream matches from airport lounges, check scores in hotel lobbies, post from bars, buy food and merchandise from their seats, and move between public networks all day without much thought about who runs them," the company said in its report. "That habit is what makes the match day experience feel modern, and what makes the 2026 World Cup such a rich target for cybercriminals."

According to ExpressVPN, cybercriminals would simply have to set up a fake public Wi-Fi network and name it after the venue in order to trick the vast majority of World Cup attendees to login and share potentially sensitive information. Of the 6,000 surveyed, 70 percent of those surveyed said they would trust public Wi-Fi named "MetLife_Stadium_WiFi" while at the venue of the same name, for example.

Fewer than four in 10 fans said they would be able to tell the difference between a real official public Wi-Fi network and a fake one. 

How an 'evil twin' attack scores off fans

The fake public Wi-Fi scam, known as an "evil twin" attack, is one of the oldest in the book. A cybercriminal simply creates a fake hotspot posing as a legit public Wi-Fi network with an official sounding name. Venue attendees connect to the fraudulent network — after which, if they log in into any accounts, sensitive information gets intercepted.

ExpressVPN's survey found 30 percent of U.S. fans between the ages of 18 and 29 have logged into their bank account using stadium Wi-Fi. Around half of all those surveyed have logged into their social media accounts when on a stadium's public Wi-Fi. Others have checked email, or work-related accounts, on Wi-Fi while at sporting events.

Before the World Cup started, the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center issued a public service announcement concerning the flood of fake FIFA and World Cup-related websites looking to scam soccer fans who were searching for tickets, hospitality, and merchandise. 

Malicious actors are clearly looking to target the 6.5 million people expected to attend the World Cup games, as well as hundreds of millions of viewers around the world.

“Cybercriminals don't need sophisticated tools to target football fans," says ExpressVPN Chief Information Security Officer Aaron Engel. "They can name a network after a stadium, hotel, or fan event and wait for people to connect. Our research shows that familiar names carry more trust than they should.

"That becomes especially risky at a tournament like the World Cup, where millions of fans will be moving between stadiums, airports, hotels, and public venues.”

Fans traveling to the games face additional risks. The vast majority of those surveyed said hotel Wi-Fi felt the safest and were most likely to login to their accounts with sensitive information using those networks.

What can you do? Simple: no matter how much you're focused on the football, check with the venue before logging into anything that looks like a public Wi-Fi network. Most sports stadiums publish the name of their official Wi-Fi, so you have an assist in scoring a successful outing.

Save 60% on this desktop Bitcoin miner that’s smaller than a deck of cards

Wed, 06/24/2026 - 00:00

TL;DR: This BitCoin Ticket Miner is on sale for $39.99 (reg. $99.99) and offers a low-power way to explore solo, pool, and lottery-style Bitcoin mining.

$99.99 Save $60.00   Get Deal

Bitcoin mining is often associated with warehouses full of specialized computers, high electricity bills, and enough heat output to warm a small room. The BitCoin Ticket Miner takes a very different approach as it’s designed as a compact desktop device. This one lets users participate in Bitcoin mining without dedicating an entire room — or a big portion of their utility budget — to the hobby.

This BitCoin Ticket Miner is on sale for $39.99 (reg. $99.99), making it a relatively inexpensive way to learn how mining works or experiment with different mining strategies.

Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of purchase. See our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use. Thanks for signing up!

The device supports several mining modes, including pool mining, solo mining, and lottery-style mining. Instead of contributing to a larger mining operation, lottery mining gives participants a chance to win a Bitcoin block reward on their own. Please note that these rewards are never guaranteed. Mining remains a probability-based activity, and the odds change as Bitcoin’s network difficulty evolves.

Powered by an energy-efficient ESP32 platform, the miner consumes about 18-watts of power, which is less than many household light bulbs. A built-in 2.8-inch display provides real-time information such as hash rate, mining status, temperature, and power usage, while Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity make setup a cinch.

The Bitcoin Ticket Miner operates independently, so no dedicated PC is required, and users can connect it to their network and begin monitoring activity through the onboard display. Its compact footprint even makes it easy to fit into a home office, gaming setup, or workspace.

For cryptocurrency enthusiasts, hobbyists, or anyone curious about how Bitcoin mining works behind the scenes, the BitCoin Ticket Miner offers a hands-on way to participate without making a major investment.

Get the BitCoin Ticket Miner while it’s discounted at $39.99 (reg. $99.99) for a limited time.

The ultimate Prime Day Apple deals guide: Were tracking prices on AirPods, iPads, and MacBooks

Tue, 06/23/2026 - 23:39
The best Prime Day Apple deals at a glance: Best AirPods deal Apple AirPods Max 2 $399 (save $150) Get Deal Best Apple Watch deal Apple Watch Series 11 (GPS, 42mm) $279 (save $120) Get Deal Apple iPad Air, 11-inch (M4, WiFi, 128GB) $519 (save $80) Get Deal Best MacBook deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M3, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $799 (save $500) Get Deal Best AirTag deal Apple AirTag (2nd Generation), 4-pack $89 (save $10) Get Deal Best Apple Accessories deal Apple MagSafe Charger $28 (save $21) Get Deal

Amazon Prime Day is live now through June 26, and this year's sale is an especially important one for Apple users: Apple products are about to get price hikes because of the global RAM shortage. With that in mind, the Mashable Shopping team is monitoring the best Prime Day Apple deals extra-closely to flag any worthwhile discounts on Apple Watches, AirPods, iPads, and MacBooks.

So far, there are several notable Apple deals. The top offers from the first 12 hours of Prime Day include some record-low prices on the AirPods Max 2, the Apple Watch Series 11, the M4 iPad Air, and the M3 MacBook Air. (Pro tip: Other past-gen models that are still in stock are also getting deep discounts.)

SEE ALSO: The top 30+ Prime Day tech deals, hand-picked by a tech editor on a budget: Save 50% on Bose headphones

Most other Apple products are still anywhere from $9 to $100 away from their all-time lows. We're still holding out hope for further price drops on AirPods and the latest M5 MacBook laptops. So, if you're unbothered by the possibility of these products selling out, it's worth waiting a few more days to see if they get even cheaper. Amazon has been known to improve its Apple deals midway through Prime Day.

Over the next few days, we'll continue to update this page with the best Prime Day Apple deals multiple times a day. For what it's worth, we're also checking prices at other major retailers like Best Buy and Walmart to make sure you're truly getting the lowest prices available on all things Apple. If they manage to beat one of Amazon's deals, we'll note that and link to the competition.

Note: Products marked with a 🔥 are at their lowest-ever price.

$549 Save $150   Get Deal

Apple's stylish over-ear headphones were updated in April with the H2 chip, which brings better noise cancellation and support for software features like Adaptive Audio, Conversation Awareness, and Live Translation. This Prime Day, Amazon has them marked down to just $399 in all five colors — that's a 27% savings and their lowest price ever (by a lot). This is a shockingly good deal, considering the original AirPods Max took several years to hit the same price. Only Walmart's managed to match it so far.

The Apple Watch Series 11 has a new record-low price for Prime Day. Amazon marked it down to just $279, which is 30% off its usual $399 MSRP. (It was $20 more expensive during Amazon's Big Spring Sale a couple of months ago.) Apple's latest flagship wearable supports features like hypertension notifications and Sleep Score. Compared to its predecessor, it has a more scratch-resistant display and a longer battery life. Choose from four different case and band combinations, including one with the new space gray finish.

The M4 iPad Air is our favorite Apple tablet for most people, especially artists and other creatives, combining a beautiful design with laptop-level performance at a reasonable price. Right now, it's more reasonable than usual: The 11-inch base model with 128GB of storage has fallen to a record low of $519 for Prime Day, which is 13% off its regular sticker price. (Pick up an on-sale Apple Pencil or Magic Keyboard while you're at it, too.) If it sells out on Amazon, you can score the same deal at Best Buy.

At $799 (or 38% off), this 13-inch MacBook Air from 2024 is a very strong option for budget laptop shoppers. Compared to the MacBook Neo, which is only $100 less with the same amount of storage, it offers faster multi-core performance and premium features like a haptic touchpad, a backlit keyboard, and Thunderbolt 4 ports. This is another Prime Day Apple deal I'm kind of surprised to see: "Cheap older MacBooks" is usually Best Buy's territory. (It also had some M3 MacBook Airs on sale at the time of writing, but they were all refurbished models.)

Here's our first-ever discount on the second-generation AirTag, Apple's recently updated Bluetooth tracker. It doesn't look any different from the original version that launched in 2021, but it has a louder speaker and a much wider range. Grab an $89 four-pack for the best value (normally $99) — that works out to $22.25 per AirTag. If you only need one or two, you'll pay $24 for them individually during Prime Day (typically $29). Best Buy and Walmart were matching both of those deals, FYI.

Prime Day is officially here. Amazon's annual flagship sale runs June 23 to 26, and plenty of Amazon devices are on sale. We always expect some of the best deals during Prime Day to be on Amazon's very own devices, and that's playing out no differently this year. Prices have been slashed on Amazon devices with discounts of up to 65% off.

Some of the biggest savings are on Amazon Fire TVs. Every size and a variety of brands are all on sale, saving you hundreds of dollars on 4K TVs. But there are also some big savings on home security and smart home devices, too.

SEE ALSO: Prime Day 2026: Live updates on Apple, Samsung, DJI, Kindle, and more Amazon deals

While the lead-up to this sale already had many of the deals live, Kindles are finally discounted with the sale's official start as of June 23.

Here are all the Prime Day deals on Amazon devices available now:

Best Prime Day Echo deals Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Echo Spot $44.99 at Amazon
$79.99 Save $35.00   Get Deal

Echo prices dropped in the week leading up to Prime Day. The latest Echo devices, the Echo Dot Max and Echo Studio, both hit new, all-time low prices. But the biggest discount is on the Amazon Echo Spot, the smart alarm clock. This tiny speaker sits compactly on nightstands but provides everything you need to start your morning, including a weather report and tunes to get you out of bed.

During Prime Day, get the Amazon Echo Spot for just $44.99. That saves you $35 off its $79.99 price tag for a 44% discount.

There's nothing better than a smart TV that provides access to all your favorite streaming services, no extraneous streaming sticks or devices needed. During Prime Day, Fire TV sales are plentiful. The best deal is on the Toshiba 43-inch Class C350 LED 4K Smart TV, which is down to $159.99, saving you $140 off. We're keeping our fingers crossed it drops back down to its pre-Prime Day price of $138.98. Still, this 4K TV is great, coming equipped with Dolby Vision Atmos for clearer sound and picture for the best possible viewing experience.

TV deals move fast during big sales, so if this deal looks good to you, buy it quick before it sells out.

It's officially the best time of year to buy a Kindle, and the prices on these e-readers reflect that. The Paperwhite Signature Edition is Mashable's top pick for the best upgraded Kindle, and for good reason. It has 32GB of storage — more than any other Kindle (minus the Scribe) — and auto-adjusting screen brightness, so it's ready for reading in any situation. Even at its full $200 list price, we think it's an e-reader worthy of heavy consideration. At $145, it easily offers the best value for serious readers.

We recommend grabbing a three-camera setup if you want to get the most bang for your buck. Usually, this bundle runs you $219.99, but Prime Day slashes 66% off the price, bringing it down to just $74.99.

How to watch Colombia vs. DR Congo online for free

Tue, 06/23/2026 - 23:00

TL;DR: Live stream Colombia vs. DR Congo in the 2026 FIFA World Cup for free on ITVX. Access this free streaming platform from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN, an Official Supporter of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage continues. Every national team has their eye on advancing to the knockout stages. Next up in Group K is Colombia vs. DR Congo.

Colombia had a hot start to the tournament, beating Uzbekistan 3-1. DR Congo, meanwhile, surprised Ronaldo's Portugal by holding them to a 1-1 draw — a game that fans assumed Portugal would breeze through untroubled. DR Congo would have a very real chance of progressing to the knockout stages if they beat Colombia. Colombia would definitely advance if they can win this matchup.

If you want to watch Colombia vs. DR Congo in the 2026 FIFA World Cup from anywhere in the world, we have all the information you need.

When is Colombia vs. DR Congo?

Colombia vs. DR Congo in the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off at 10 p.m. ET on June 23. This fixture takes place at the Guadalajara Stadium.

How to watch Colombia vs. DR Congo for free

Colombia vs. DR Congo in the 2026 FIFA World Cup is available to live stream for free on ITVX.

ITVX is geo-restricted to the UK, but anyone can access this free streaming platform with a VPN. These tools can hide your real IP address (digital location) and connect you to a secure server in the UK, meaning you can unblock ITVX to live stream the 2026 World Cup for free from anywhere in the world.

Live stream Colombia vs. DR Congo for free by following these simple steps:

  1. Subscribe to a streaming-friendly VPN (we recommend ExpressVPN)

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in the UK

  4. Visit ITVX

  5. Watch Colombia vs. DR Congo for free from anywhere in the world

Opens in a new window Credit: ExpressVPN ExpressVPN (1-Month Plan) $12.99 only at ExpressVPN Get Deal

The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but most do offer free-trials or money-back guarantees. By leveraging these offers, you can access free live streams of the 2026 World Cup without actually spending anything. This obviously isn't a long-term solution, but it does give you enough time to stream Colombia vs. DR Congo (plus more World Cup fixtures) before recovering your investment.

ExpressVPN's regular 30-day money back guarantee is not available for any subscriptions purchased during the FIFA World Cup between June 10 and July 11. ExpressVPN remains our top pick for sport, but you will need to pay the monthly rate. Alternatively, Proton VPN still offers that all-important money-back guarantee.

What is the best VPN for ITVX?

ExpressVPN is the best choice for bypassing geo-restrictions to stream live sport on ITVX, for a number of reasons:

  • Servers in 105 countries including the UK

  • Easy-to-use app available on all major devices including iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and more

  • Strict no-logging policy so your data is secure

  • Fast connection speeds free from throttling

  • Up to 10 simultaneous connections

A two-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for $68.40 and includes an extra four months for free — 81% off for a limited time. Alternatively, you can get a one-month plan for just $12.99. That covers you for the duration of the World Cup.

Without a doubt, camping is one of the best highlights of summer. Now that we're almost to July, you've probably checked on the condition of camping gear and noticed if anything needs upgrades to finish out the summer. While most of us shop for tech deals during Prime Day, Amazon is showing up for us outdoorsy folks this year. I've found great deals on items that make camping just that much more enjoyable.

From packing along your own shade to a portable power station that'll keep phones charged up, Prime Day has some excellent deals for your next camping trip. I've studied the sale, and these are the top products I'd recommend if you're in the market for camping upgrades during Prime Day.

I'm Mashable's tech editor, and I love my job. I get to test the coolest new tech products before anyone else, and I basically get paid to nerd out over the latest noise-cancelling headphones, smart glasses, and laptops. All year long, I've been reporting on price hikes, but for Prime Day 2026, I can finally write about price drops.

In this guide, I'm sharing all of the best Prime Day tech deals. Amazon Prime Day 2026 runs from June 23 to June 26, and the Mashable shopping team will be providing round-the-clock coverage of the sale. Only the best deals — the ones I'd recommend to friends and family or shop myself — end up on this page.

Mashable also goes a step further than merely collecting deals. We also check competing sales at sites like Best Buy, Dyson, and Target to make sure Amazon really has the lowest price. Finally, we use price tracking tools to separate the great deals from the pretenders.

So, with all this in mind, here are the best Prime Day tech deals of 2026. I've personally tested many of these products, but I'm also leaning on recommendations from our tech and shopping teams.

Record-low prices on the latest Apple Watches

The latest generation of Apple Watches offered some big upgrades, and Prime Day has delivered the best-ever deal on the Apple Watch Series 11. This smartwatch has a longer battery and other key upgrades over its predecessor, and our reviewer named it a Mashable Choice product. However, if you want to go all-out on the new Apple Watch Ultra 3, this premier fitness and sleep-tracking smartwatch is also on sale at an all-time low price.

Bose makes the most comfortable headphones in the world, according to both our readers and product testers. On day one of Prime Day, you can save 50% on the Bose QuietComfort noise-cancelling headphones. While the brand's flagship QuietComfort Ultra (Gen 2) headphones are on sale for $70 off, we're hoping prices will go lower on those particular cans.

Our favorite Kindles rarely go on sale, but you can always count on Prime Day for some discounts on these popular e-readers. For Prime Day, you can buy Kindle e-readers starting at $84.99, and the Kindle Paperwhite — our most-recommended Kindle and the one I use personally — is back to its record-low price of $124.99.

I tested the M5 MacBook Air for Mashable when it was released earlier this year, and the longer I use it, the more I like it. If you've been waiting for Prime Day to buy this Apple laptop, then I have good news and bad news. The good news is it's on sale for $949. The bad news: Over Memorial Day Weekend, we saw prices drop to $899. So, if you can wait a little longer, you can wait for a further price drop later in the week.

I never travel without my Anker Prime GaN wall charger, which can charge my laptop, my phone, and earbuds at the same time. If that's overkill, you can also grab Anker's most adorable wall charger with a built-in display for just $25.99 this Prime Day.

We were hoping to see slightly better Prime Day deals on AirPods, and prices could still go lower on the AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation. But we can recommend shopping the AirPods Max 2 headphones and AirPods 4 at the current prices. The AirPods Max 2 have never been this cheap, though there is a slight chance the AirPods 4 will get another price drop later in the week.

I've loved Jackery power stations long before they became the trendy new "it" product. For creators, campers, and anyone with a safety-first mindset, these popular orange power stations keep you powered on when everyone else is off-grid. The best Prime Day tech deals always include massive savings on power stations, and this is my top pick of the sale so far.

I've been recommending Samsung's famous art TVs, The Frame, for many years, and they keep getting better. For Prime Day 2026, you can get these cult-favorite, ultra-thin TVs on sale at Amazon for their lowest-ever price. And if you want to splurge on a Samsung OLED TV instead, you can grab the brand's award-winning S90F OLED 65-inch TV for 29% off its list price.

Please note: As of this writing, this Amazon listing incorrectly displays a picture of the more expensive The Frame Pro model.

If a premium Samsung OLED TV isn't in your budget, I feel you. It's not in mine at the moment, either. However, despite all the price hikes we've seen in 2026, prices on 55- and 65-inch TVs keep getting lower, and not just during big sales like this.

For Prime Day 2026, grab the new Amazon Ember 55-inch 4-Series Fire TV, which comes with Amazon's new art mode. You can also score an insane price on the Hisense 65-inch E6 Series QLED 4K Fire TV.

You can also grab the recently released XM6 wireless earbuds for their lowest price ever.

If you've always wanted a fancy Dyson stick vacuum with the laser attachment, grab the V12 Detect Slim for $250 off. I'm also a huge fan of the original Dyson Supersonic hair dryer, which I've relied on for years. This week, you can pick it up with three attachments for $279.99.

Amazon Prime Day is here once again, and there are plenty of deals on offer for anyone with a Nintendo Switch on their wishlist. Several of our favorite Switch and Switch 2 games and accessories are discounted right now, with more to come.

The four-day sale kicked off today, with a wide selection of goodies to claim, including a bundle with the actual console itself. The Switch 2 turns one this month and is set for a price increase to $499.99 on September 1 rather than a cut. The real savings you'll find right now are on games and accessories.

Ready to shop? We've curated the best Prime Day Nintendo Switch deals here for you to add to your cart right now. We'll keep this guide updated as the sale goes on, so keep checking back to find the best Switch and Switch 2 discounts like the ones below.

While technically not a "deal" in the sense that you'll save money for Prime Day, this bundle is a good way to pick up both a Nintendo Switch 2 and the game of your choice out of a decent selection. You get the console itself, Joy-Con controllers, and games like Pokémon Pokopia, Mario Kart World, and Donkey Kong Bananza with the bundle, so you can get started playing right away. With a 7.9-inch LCD touch screen, three play modes, and backwards compatibility with most Nintendo Switch titles, it's well worth picking up, especially given the price hike coming in September.

The best Pokémon deals to grab over Prime Day — save over $25 on the Chaos Rising Elite Trainer Box

Tue, 06/23/2026 - 21:01

Amazon's Prime Day sale has officially started, kicking off several days of discounts across tech, home essentials, gaming accessories, and, most importantly for collectors, Pokémon cards, games, toys, and merch.

Now that the four-day shopping event is live, Amazon has opened up a much bigger wave of offers than the early deals we were seeing. However, Pokémon discounts tend to move faster than most Prime Day markdowns. TCG releases can sell out as soon as they drop below the usual market price.

Whether you're hunting booster packs from the newest trading card game sets, picking up a Nintendo Switch title, or adding a few gifts to your basket, Mashable has sifted through Amazon to find the Pokémon offers worth buying before they sell out or climb again.

Here are the best Prime Day deals available right now.

Best Pokémon card deal Opens in a new window Credit: The Pokémon Company Pokémon TCG Mega Evolution Chaos Rising Elite Trainer Box $92.55 at Amazon
$118.99 Save $26.44   Get Deal Why we like it

Still one of the most in-demand expansions from the Mega Evolution set, getting over $26 off the Pokémon TCG’s Chaos Rising Elite Trainer Box — now only $92.55 — is a fantastic buy for Amazon shoppers on Prime Day. 

Far below its initial $118.99 list price, this box gets you nine Chaos Rising booster packs, a full-art foil Fennekin promo card, card sleeves, Energy cards, dice, a coin, a collector’s box, and a Pokémon TCG Live code card. Among those nine, you still have a chance at pulling one of its high-value chase cards (available to buy separately at TCGplayer) — including SIR Mega Greninja ex, Mega Hyper Rare Mega Greninja ex, Cinccino ex, SIR Mega Dragalge ex, and SIR Mega Floette ex. 

Amazon isn’t the cheapest place to buy it today, with Walmart at $87.88 and TCGplayer listings from $77.98, but this is still a great Prime Day pick if you prefer to buy your trading cards from Amazon.

How to watch England vs. Ghana online for free

Tue, 06/23/2026 - 21:00

TL;DR: Live stream England vs. Ghana in the 2026 FIFA World Cup for free on BBC iPlayer. Access this free streaming platform from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN, an Official Supporter of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup continues to deliver exciting action from top teams. Among the teams in serious contention are England, scoring an emphatic 4-2 win over Croatia in their opening game.

It was a slightly shaky first half, with England twice going ahead thanks to Harry Kane goals — but they twice allowed Croatia to equalize. The second half saw England dismantle Croatia with flashy goals from Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford. Now England play Ghana, a team that also won their opening match, beating Panama 1-0. Whichever team wins this contest will go to the top of Group L and secure a spot in the knockout stages.

If you want to watch England vs. Ghana in the 2026 FIFA World Cup from anywhere in the world, we have all the information you need.

When is England vs. Ghana?

England vs. Ghana in the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off at 4 p.m. ET on June 23. This fixture takes place at the Boston Stadium.

How to watch England vs. Ghana for free

England vs. Ghana in the 2026 FIFA World Cup is available to live stream for free on BBC iPlayer.

BBC iPlayer is geo-restricted to the UK, but anyone can access this free streaming platform with a VPN. These tools can hide your real IP address (digital location) and connect you to a secure server in the UK, meaning you can unblock BBC iPlayer to live stream the 2026 World Cup for free from anywhere in the world.

Live stream England vs. Ghana for free by following these simple steps:

  1. Subscribe to a streaming-friendly VPN (we recommend ExpressVPN)

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in the UK

  4. Visit BBC iPlayer

  5. Watch England vs. Ghana for free from anywhere in the world

Opens in a new window Credit: ExpressVPN ExpressVPN (1-Month Plan) $12.99 only at ExpressVPN Get Deal

The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but most do offer free-trials or money-back guarantees. By leveraging these offers, you can access free live streams of the 2026 World Cup without actually spending anything. This obviously isn't a long-term solution, but it does give you enough time to stream England vs. Ghana (plus more World Cup fixtures) before recovering your investment.

ExpressVPN's regular 30-day money back guarantee is not available for any subscriptions purchased during the FIFA World Cup between June 10 and July 11. ExpressVPN remains our top pick for sport, but you will need to pay the monthly rate. Alternatively, Proton VPN still offers that all-important money-back guarantee.

What is the best VPN for BBC iPlayer?

ExpressVPN is the best choice for bypassing geo-restrictions to stream live sport on BBC iPlayer, for a number of reasons:

  • Servers in 105 countries including the UK

  • Easy-to-use app available on all major devices including iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and more

  • Strict no-logging policy so your data is secure

  • Fast connection speeds free from throttling

  • Up to 10 simultaneous connections

A two-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for $68.40 and includes an extra four months for free — 81% off for a limited time. Alternatively, you can get a one-month plan for just $12.99. That covers you for the duration of the World Cup.

Live stream England vs. Ghana in the 2026 FIFA World Cup for free.

Amazons best Prime Day laptop deals can save you up to $970 (!) on a new PC

Tue, 06/23/2026 - 20:59
The best Prime Day laptop deals at a glance: Best MacBook deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $949 (save $150) Get Deal Best Windows laptop deal Microsoft Surface Laptop 7, 15-inch (Snapdragon X Elite, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $1,229.99 (save $970) Get Deal Best gaming laptop deal Acer Nitro V 16S AI (AMD Ryzen 7 260, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD) $1,099.99 (save $300) Get Deal

The ongoing global RAM shortage has led many PC makers to raise their laptop prices this year. Even Apple's MacBooks are at risk of price bumps in the near future. Mercifully, Amazon's annual Prime Day sale is offering some sweet RAMageddon relief this week, slashing prices on select PCs through June 26.

As Mashable's resident expert on all things laptops, I want to note that Amazon carries a much smaller selection of Windows laptops, gaming laptops, and Chromebooks than other major retailers — especially Best Buy, which happens to be running a competing Tech Fest sale this week. I've rounded up Amazon's most worth-it laptop deals below and made sure all of them aren't cheaper elsewhere. But don't feel like you need to be loyal to it just because Prime Day is hogging the spotlight right now.

SEE ALSO: The 35+ best Prime Day tech deals, according to a tech editor on a budget

I'll continue to update the following list with the best Prime Day laptop deals as the sale progresses, so check back often. You can also visit the Mashable shopping team's dedicated Prime Day 2026 hub for all the latest tech price drops from around the web.

Best Prime Day MacBook deal Opens in a new window Credit: Apple Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $949 at Amazon
$1,099 Save $150   Get Deal

Powered by the M5 chip, Apple's sleek MacBook Air is faster than any other Windows laptop at its price point (and even many that are way more expensive). Its overall build quality also smokes most of the competition: It comes equipped with a luxe haptic touchpad, a sharp Liquid Retina display, and 12MP webcam. The 13-inch base model usually costs $1,099 — an already-great deal in this day and age — but it's marked down to just $949 during Prime Day. If it sells out on Amazon, you can find the same discount at Best Buy.

$2,099.99 Save $870.00   Get Deal

We loved the Surface Laptop 7 back when it launched in 2024. While its CPU isn't the freshest anymore, it still impresses as a whole: It features a 23-hour battery life, a microSDXC card slot, and a 2.5K touchscreen that's brighter and smoother than a 15-inch MacBook Air's screen.

Amazon's amazing Prime Day deal on this 15-inch model comes just a week after Microsoft announced the very similar Surface Laptop 8 (which isn't on sale just yet). It's currently listed for just $1,229.99 — a whopping 44% off its regular retail price of $2,099.99. I wouldn't be surprised if it disappears long before Prime Day ends, considering the exact same model sold out at Best Buy after dropping to $1,699.99 there.

Welcome to the season of summer fun. The scheudle is getting crowded with camping, trips to the lake, barbecues, the neighborhood block party, and the kids heading off to summer camp. If you recently went through your outdoor gear and noticed some items should head to the garbage, it's time for a refresh.

Like every year, Amazon Prime Day is an ideal opportunity to snag fresh outdoor gear. Plus, moving Prime Day to the end of June this year means we'll have even more time to enjoy the new gear before the weather turns cold.

Here are the best Prime Day outdoor deals to shop today.

$1,499 Save $799.01   Get Deal Why we like it

After testing dozens of portable power stations, the Anker Solix C2000 Gen 2 is the model I take on every camping trip. I like to slightly overestimate my power needs while camping (what if I decide to stay an extra night?), so I prefer the 2,048Wh offered by the C2000 Gen 2.

Anker made this as lightweight as possible and despite landing in 2k Wh category, it only weighs about 42 pounds. That'll be a manageable weight for camping trips where the campsite is near the car. It's also perfect for powering up the outdoor projector in the backyard for movie nights this summer. The Prime Day sale price of $699.99 is the lowest price we've seen this year at Amazon.

As of June 23, the Apple AirTag 4-Pack (2nd Generation) is down to $89 at Amazon. That's the lowest price yet and saves you $10 on the list price.

AirTags are handy products that make it easy to keep track of your belongings by attaching them to everyday items and locating them through the Find My app. They have Precision Finding that provides step-by-step directions to misplaced items on compatible iPhone models and also on supported Apple Watch models.

They also come with a redesigned speaker that's up to 50 percent louder, making your lost items easier to track down. You can also securely share an AirTag's location with certain contacts, third parties, or airline partners, for example, if your luggage goes missing.

The AirTag runs for more than a year on a user-replaceable battery. The latest model also features a more sustainable design, using 85 percent recycled plastic in the enclosure and 100 percent fiber-based packaging.

You can find this Prime Day deal at Amazon now.

How to watch Panama vs. Croatia online for free

Tue, 06/23/2026 - 20:00

TL;DR: Live stream Panama vs. Croatia in the 2026 FIFA World Cup for free on BBC iPlayer. Access this free streaming platform from anywhere in the world with ExpressVPN, an Official Supporter of the FIFA World Cup 2026.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is now a few days into the second round of group games. And for some countries it's already do or die.

Both Panama and Croatia took losses in their Group L opening games. Panama lost 1-0 to Ghana, and Croatia lost 4-2 to England. Croatia are a solid team though, led by superstar midfielder Luka Modric. Can Croatia get back on track by beating Panama? A loss for either team could see them crash out of the whole tournament.

If you want to watch Panama vs. Croatia in the 2026 FIFA World Cup from anywhere in the world, we have all the information you need.

When is Panama vs. Croatia?

Panama vs. Croatia in the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off at 17 p.m. ET on June 23. This fixture takes place at the Toronto Stadium.

How to watch Panama vs. Croatia for free

Panama vs. Croatia in the 2026 FIFA World Cup is available to live stream for free on BBC iPlayer.

BBC iPlayer is geo-restricted to the UK, but anyone can access this free streaming platform with a VPN. These tools can hide your real IP address (digital location) and connect you to a secure server in the UK, meaning you can unblock BBC iPlayer to live stream the 2026 World Cup for free from anywhere in the world.

Live stream Panama vs. Croatia for free by following these simple steps:

  1. Subscribe to a streaming-friendly VPN (we recommend ExpressVPN)

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in the UK

  4. Visit BBC iPlayer

  5. Watch Panama vs. Croatia for free from anywhere in the world

Opens in a new window Credit: ExpressVPN ExpressVPN (1-Month Plan) $12.99 only at ExpressVPN Get Deal

The best VPNs for streaming are not free, but most do offer free-trials or money-back guarantees. By leveraging these offers, you can access free live streams of the 2026 World Cup without actually spending anything. This obviously isn't a long-term solution, but it does give you enough time to stream Panama vs. Croatia (plus more World Cup fixtures) before recovering your investment.

ExpressVPN's regular 30-day money back guarantee is not available for any subscriptions purchased during the FIFA World Cup between June 10 and July 11. ExpressVPN remains our top pick for sport, but you will need to pay the monthly rate. Alternatively, Proton VPN still offers that all-important money-back guarantee.

What is the best VPN for BBC iPlayer?

ExpressVPN is the best choice for bypassing geo-restrictions to stream live sport on BBC iPlayer, for a number of reasons:

  • Servers in 105 countries including the UK

  • Easy-to-use app available on all major devices including iPhone, Android, Windows, Mac, and more

  • Strict no-logging policy so your data is secure

  • Fast connection speeds free from throttling

  • Up to 10 simultaneous connections

A two-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for $68.40 and includes an extra four months for free — 81% off for a limited time. Alternatively, you can get a one-month plan for just $12.99. That covers you for the duration of the World Cup.

Ive covered Amazon Prime Day for 7 years. Here are the MacBook deals worth buying.

Tue, 06/23/2026 - 19:43
The best Prime Day MacBook deals at a glance: Best MacBook Air deal Apple MacBook Air, 13-inch (M5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) $949 (save $150) Get Deal

Prime Day 2026 is here — one of the best times to get a deal on a MacBook. I've covered Amazon's flagship summer sale for seven years straight now, and I always see Apple laptops get hefty discounts as part of the festivities. This year is par for the course, with savings of up to $250 across the MacBook Air and Pro lineups.

Amazon's Prime Day MacBook deals are especially welcome right now because Apple is on the verge of sweeping price hikes. (Blame the global RAM shortage.) Going forward, I think it'll be rarer to find MacBooks at prices like we're seeing this week.

SEE ALSO: Amazon Prime Day is here: We found 50+ deals on Apple, Sony, and Lego favorites

It's worth mentioning that most configurations are still a ways away from their lowest prices on record. For instance, the M5 MacBook Airs are $150 off right now, but they were $200 off last month around Memorial Day. Amazon has sweetened its MacBook deals midway through previous Prime Day sales, so consider waiting to make your purchase until later this week in case prices dip further.

I'd also check out competing retailers' anti-Prime Day sales — namely, Best Buy's Tech Fest. It features lots of deals on older refurbished MacBooks that you won't find elsewhere. (Amazon had a new M3 MacBook from 2024 marked down to $799 in the early hours of Prime Day, but it sold out quickly.)

Read on for my one-stop guide to all of the top Prime Day MacBook deals, and check back often. I'll continue to update my list based on Amazon's latest prices and deals availability. I'm marking any record-lows I encounter with a 🔥.

$1,099 Save $150   Get Deal

The new M5 MacBook Air is a class-leading ultraportable with a zippy processor, two full workdays' worth of battery life, and a premium, polished design. (Haptic touchpad? Check. Crisp Liquid Retina display? Check. Speakers that sound better than anything you'll find on the average Windows laptop? Checkity-check.) The 13-inch base configuration is on sale for $949 on Amazon this Prime Day, which is 14% off its regular $1,099 sticker price.

You'll find the same deal at Best Buy this week, too. These deals both apply to all four colors: starlight, silver, midnight, and sky blue.

$1,699 Save $150   Get Deal

The M5 MacBook Pro is a creative-forward upgrade with a gorgeous 120Hz Liquid Retina XDR (mini-LED) display, a longer battery life, and extra ports like an SDXC card slot. It also has built-in fans, unlike the MacBook Air, so you're less likely to experience thermal throttling when you run demanding software on it. Amazon has the base model listed for $1,549 this Prime Day (typically $1,699) — a 9% savings. Best Buy is also price-matching Amazon here.

The MacBook Neo is Apple's colorful new budget laptop. It starts at $599 with 256GB of storage. For $699, you can double its storage capacity and add Touch ID.

While Amazon hasn't been totally resistant to putting the Neo on sale — it's been $9 off there for several weeks now — it doesn't get the same big price cuts as Apple's other laptops. This is probably because it's already a bargain at full price. For that reason, I wouldn't count on it getting a big discount this Prime Day (but I'm happy to be proven wrong).

As things stand, the best MacBook Neo deal right now is Apple's education pricing for college students, their parents, and teachers. Eligible buyers pay just $499 for the base model and $599 for the Touch ID model (a $100 savings either way). If you don't qualify for that offer, Amazon's $9 discount is waiting.

The MacBook Air is my favorite MacBook for most people, including most college students and office workers. The MacBook Neo is my top pick for frugal buyers, casual users, and younger students (grades K through 12). The MacBook Pro is my No. 1 choice for content creators and other creative professionals, especially photo and video editors.

The Kindle I use every day just dropped to its lowest price ever for Prime Day

Tue, 06/23/2026 - 19:41

Testing e-readers is by far the best and easiest part of my job. As a bookworm, my reading list is miles long, and my library holds are usually maxed out. I use an e-reader every day, and when I'm not testing a new device, there's one Kindle that I keep coming back to: my Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition.

And for Prime Day 2026, you can grab my favorite e-reader at its lowest-ever price.

SEE ALSO: Prime Day 2026: Live updates on Apple, Samsung, DJI, Kindle, and more Amazon deals Opens in a new window Credit: Amazon Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition $144.99 at Amazon
$199.99 Save $55   Get Deal

Initially, I was put off by the Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition's $199.99 price tag; however, I've come to love its overall value. With the standard Paperwhite constantly serving me a rotation of books I'm never going to read, the Signature Edition became a lot more appealing. While I don't think the Signature Edition's built-in wallpapers are all that more aesthetically pleasing, it's nice to be free of consumerism when I'm trying to read my book.

But the Signature Edition is a better value than ever before. When Prime Day kicked off, I was delighted to see that the Paperwhite Signature Edition dropped to an all-time low price of $144.99. That saves you $55 off its $199.99 list price, which I think is a real steal. Especially when you consider that the regular Paperwhite without ads is the same price. But why not just go for the ad-free Paperwhite? Well, the Signature Edition gives you so much more than an ad-free display.

DJI Mini 3 4K Foldable Mini Camera Drone With RC Controller — $339.00 (List Price $549.00)

The SE has twice the amount of storage as most Kindles. With 32GB of storage, I'm not sure I'll ever fill up the device. With 175 books currently downloaded to my Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition, I'm only using 647MB of storage. Doing a little bit of math, that means I could fill up the Kindle with over 6,000 books. I'm not sure I'll do that in this lifetime, but I'd certainly like to try.

Other bonus features on the Signature Edition include an auto-adjust front light, which I will say, I've turned off since I find it to be rather inconsistent. But wireless charging is a nice bonus, especially if you already use a MagSafe charger.

So if you're looking for a Kindle this Prime Day, treat yourself to the Signature Edition, which has never been cheaper.

Dont miss out on the Apple TV Prime Day streaming deal for over 50% off

Tue, 06/23/2026 - 19:18

SAVE $14: Through June 26, the Apple TV add-on subscription for Prime Video is only $5.99 per month for two months. That's $7 cheaper than the usual monthly cost.

Opens in a new window Credit: Apple TV Apple TV (Prime Video add-on) $5.99/month for 2 months (save $14) Get Deal

Prime Day isn't just for tech deals anymore, y'all. Streaming deals made their debut last Prime Day and this year we're seeing some pretty epic discounts once again. One of our favorites? The Apple TV add-on subscription for Prime Video, which is over 50% off for the next two months.

Through June 26 (the final day of the Prime Day sale), you can get Apple TV for only $5.99 per month for two months. Usually $12.99 per month, that's a total of $14 in savings. The only catch? You have to subscribe through Prime Video, which requires a Prime membership (or a separate Prime Video membership). It works the same way as a classic streaming subscription, except that you'll be billed through your Prime account and you can access Apple TV directly from the Prime Video app. It's incredibly convenient, TBH.

Apple TV is one of many streamers that saw a monstrous price hike in 2025 (up to $12.99 from $9.99 per month). It's somewhat understandable, considering how many of our favorite TV shows from the past few years are Apple TV originals (Shrinking, Pluribus, Widow's Bay, Severance, etc.), but we certainly aren't going to turn down a deal. Especially when it's more than 50% off.

If you've been curious about Apple TV for some time, but held off because of the cost, now's a great chance to explore the catalog for cheap if you're a Prime member. Just remember to set a calendar alert to cancel before your two-month promotional period ends if you want to avoid paying full price.
