Norton VPN has reduced its price just in time for the 2026 World Cup. With plans starting at $39.99 (£29.99) for one year of protection, it's cheaper than big-name competitors like NordVPN, Proton, and ExpressVPN.
What's more, the company's mid-tier plan (Norton VPN Plus) is now the same price as its entry-level plan. That means you can get the company's AI-powered scam detection tool, dark web monitoring and password manager effectively for free.
Don't let the budget price fool you, either. Norton has quietly become one of the fastest-improving and fastest-performing VPNs of 2026.
In our latest rounds of testing, it topped out at an impressive 1,010 Mbps, proving it's fast enough to stream live tournament matches in HD without buffering or regional blocks getting in the way.
The deal also includes a generous 60-day money-back guarantee. That’s double the standard 30 days you get from other major providers, so you can use it to watch the entire World Cup risk-free and cancel for a full refund if you aren't completely satisfied.
When you commit to a year-long plan, it's important to know the company will keep upgrading its product and Norton is doing exactly that.
Last month, the provider significantly scaled up its infrastructure, expanding its server network to more than 130 locations across 90 countries.
Norton also introduced a Manual IP Rotation feature for its Windows and Mac desktop apps. So, if a streaming service flags or restricts your current connection mid-game, you can swap to a fresh virtual IP address on demand without having to drop your connection or interrupt the live stream.
Norton VPN has also become one of the very best at unblocking popular streaming platforms. It easily clears regional hurdles for major services, unblocking Netflix libraries across the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and Japan.
It also handles Disney Plus, Amazon Prime Video, and US YouTube with ease, letting you watch your favorite home content from anywhere in the world. So if you're traveling to North America to watch a World Cup match, you can keep on top of your favorite shows.
