How to watch La Liga from anywhere with a VPN:
For those unable to access La Liga matches locally due to geo-restrictions, a VPN (Virtual Private Network) can come in handy. A VPN also offers the benefit of encrypting your internet traffic, potentially preventing your internet service provider (ISP) from throttling your speeds on game day. This is particularly useful when travelling and using public Wi-Fi networks.
By using a VPN, you can virtually change your location to access streaming services restricted to specific regions.
Our Editors' Choice for VPNs, ExpressVPN, makes this process extremely straightforward.

Quick tips for streaming La Liga using a VPN:
The success of streaming La Liga matches using a VPN can depend on various factors, including your ISP, browser, video streaming provider, and VPN.
If your desired location is not a default option on ExpressVPN, use the "search for city or country" feature.
If you encounter difficulties accessing the game after enabling your VPN and setting the correct viewing area, ensure the address associated with your streaming service subscription account is located in the correct viewing area. If not, update the physical address on file.
If you are using a smart TV with no direct VPN app, install the VPN on your router or a mobile hotspot device, ensuring all connected devices appear in the correct location.
VPN providers offer helpful instructions on their websites for installing the VPN on your router.
When using smart TV services, you may need to verify a code or click a link sent to your email address associated with your smart TV. Setting up a VPN on your router can assist in this verification process.
Remember, browsers can reveal your location even when using a VPN. Use a privacy-focused browser, such as Brave, to access your streaming services.
Enjoy the match and may the best team win!
