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.

CF America vs Necaxa kick-off time

Liga MX - Clausura

Estadio Banorte

 CF America and Necaxa will kick off on 31 Jan 2026 at 22:00 GMT and 17:00 EST.

Match preview

America have had a poor start to the current season as they are winless, having recorded two draws and one defeat. The Eagles find themselves placed 15th in the Liga MX standings after drawing with Pachuca in their most recent game and they are in need of a victory, which would hopefully kickstart their season.

Meanwhile, Necaxa have lost back-to-back matches after starting their campaign with a victory over Santos Laguna. The Aguascalientes-based side are occupying the 13th spot in the league standings and a win at America would elevate them into the top eight if other results go their way.

>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.
