Step-by-Step VPN Setup

1. Sign up for a reliable VPN service such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN and install the app.
2. Open the app and pick a server in a country showing the game (for example, connect to a US server to access FOX Network).
3. Clear your browser cache and cookies to update your location settings.
4. Go to your broadcaster’s website or app and start watching the match.

Watching on Your TV

Live football is best enjoyed on a large screen. For smart TVs or devices like Amazon Fire Stick and Google Chromecast with Google TV, you can install the VPN app directly. If your device doesn’t support VPN apps (such as Apple TV or Roku), use Smart DNS from your VPN provider or cast the stream from your phone or laptop connected through VPN.
