For football fans keen to soak up the atmosphere of the 2026 Fifa World Cup, it’s hard to beat being there. But if travelling to the US, Canada and Mexico is off the cards, there’s a trick to help you get the next best thing at home.
With ExpressVPN – an official supporter of the Fifa World Cup – you can watch local coverage of the tournament from anywhere in the world, without leaving the UK. Enjoy America’s commentators, Canada’s half-time discussions or Mexico’s post-match analysis, with no flights, tickets or sky-high hotel bills to deal with.
Most broadcast and streaming services are geo-blocked, meaning they can only be accessed from specific locations. But VPNs, or virtual private networks, work by disguising where a user is accessing the internet from – allowing these geographical restrictions to be bypassed. You install the VPN, connect it to your choice of servers outside the UK, then head over to whatever website or streaming service you want to use to watch the latest match.
You might connect to an American server if you want to hear what Thierry Henry and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have to say about the action on Fox, for example – or one in Cape Verde to find out how local fans are feeling about the underdog’s chances. With ultra-fast servers in more than 100 countries, ExpressVPN – the world’s largest premium VPN provider – makes the football world your oyster.
