How to watch anywhere with a VPN

If you are travelling abroad or just want to access your usual streaming services from a different part of the world, you may run into geo-restrictions. This is where a Virtual Private Network (VPN) comes in handy.

A VPN, such as NordVPN, allows you to establish a secure, encrypted connection online. By virtually changing your location to a country where the game is being broadcast, you can bypass blackout restrictions and watch your favourite team live.

Barcelona vs FC Copenhagen kick-off time

Barcelona vs Copenhagen will kick off on 28 Jan 2026 at 15:00 EST and 20:00 GMT.

Match preview

Barcelona, who have won each of their last two matches, enter this crucial game in ninth place in the league phase standings with 13 points from seven matches. A draw or loss would almost certainly leave the Spanish giants outside the top eight, forcing them into the knockout playoff round. Barca are boasting an impeccable home record of 10 consecutive wins and they will be confident of making it 11 victories in a row against their Danish visitors.

Copenhagen, on the other hand, are in 26th place with eight points and they need a win and favourable results elsewhere to have any shot at a playoff spot. A loss would end their European campaign. The Lions are undefeated in their last two competitive matches and they will be hoping to cause an upset at Spotify Camp Nou.

Injury news & key stats

Barcelona midfielder Frenkie de Jong is suspended, while Pedri, Gavi, and Andreas Christensen are out injured. Ferran Torres is also an injury doubt.

Meanwhile, Copenhagen star Thomas Delaney is suspended, while Magnus Mattsson and Rodrigo Huescas are injured and unavailable.

Barcelona and Copenhagen have met only twice in competitive history, both in the 2010/11 Champions League group stage. 

Barcelona won 2-0 at home (thanks to Lionel Messi's brace) and drew 1-1 away in Copenhagen.

>How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

  • Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
  • Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
