Apart from supporting the live telecast on free-to-air channels, Maxis is also enabling its subscribers to catch the biggest sporting event live anytime and anywhere on their mobile device. They have partnered with Astro to offer special World Cup Passes with free data.

With this special arrangement, you can watch all 64 World Cup matches live at only RM1 per match on Astro GO. For the best football experience, you also get free data to stream the match in HD on the Maxis 4G network.
