Watching via VPN

If your location restricts access to the broadcast, using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) like ExpressVPN can help you watch safely by connecting to a server in a country where the game is airing. This method bypasses blackout restrictions. Here is a quick guide:

1. Download and install a reputable VPN app such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN.
2. Connect to a server in a country broadcasting the match (for example, a US server if you want to watch the US stream).
3. Clear your browser cache or cookies to refresh your location settings.
4. Access your broadcaster’s website or app and start streaming.

Viewing on the Big Screen

Watching football is better on a larger screen. For smart TVs and devices like Amazon Fire Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV, you can install the VPN app directly. For Apple TV, Roku, or consoles that don’t support VPN apps, consider using Smart DNS from your VPN provider or casting the stream from a VPN-connected device.
