How to watch legally
Licensed broadcasters are the safest and most reliable way to follow the match. Make sure your account is active, your app is current and your chosen service lists the tie before kickoff.
Unofficial streams are often unstable and can expose viewers to intrusive ads or security risks, so we do not recommend them.
Watching while traveling
If you are away from home, check whether your usual licensed sports service is available in the country you are visiting and whether its provider terms permit viewing there.
Public Wi-Fi can also be less private than your home network. A VPN can encrypt traffic between your device and its VPN server, which is useful on shared hotel, airport and café connections.
