Spain vs Saudi Arabia: How to Watch and Kick-Off Details

Watching with a VPN
For viewers facing geo-restrictions or blackout rules, using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) like ExpressVPN can help. It encrypts your internet connection and lets you virtually appear in a country where the match is broadcasted. This way, you avoid restrictions and watch the game uninterrupted.
Steps to Use a VPN for Streaming
- Sign up for a trusted VPN service such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN.
- Download and install the app on your device.
- Connect to a server in a country airing the match (for example, connect to a US server if you want US coverage).
- Clear your browser cache or refresh the page to ensure location changes take effect.
- Visit your broadcaster’s website or app and start streaming.
How to Watch on Big Screens
Streaming on phones or laptops works fine, but watching football is better on the big screen. Smart TVs and devices like Amazon Fire Stick or Google Chromecast often support VPN apps directly. For devices without VPN apps such as Apple TV, Roku, or gaming consoles, options include using Smart DNS settings from your VPN provider or casting the stream from a VPN-enabled phone or laptop to the TV.
