Even if you live in the United States and are subscribed to one of the aforementioned streaming services, you won’t be able to watch the match if you’re physically located outside of the US. That is, unless you use a virtual private network (VPN). VPN’s hide your IP address and location, allowing you to access content from another country as if you were actually there.

NordVPN is easily one of the best VPN services available right now, plus it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, so that’s a logical place to start if you’re in the market for a VPN. If you’d rather shop around, however, you can check out our guide to the best VPN deals, any of which should help you watch the match from abroad.
