Match preview

When Boro put together a three-match winless streak in the Championship, they almost fell out of the automatic promotion places. However, after draws against strugglers Oxford and Leicester at the Riverside, Kim Hellberg's team have produced two timely wins away from home, against Birmingham City and QPR.

Despite having failed to win in four matches prior to Saturday's meeting with Birmingham, that 1-0 win over the Blues moved Charlton eight points clear of the bottom three with 10 games remaining.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Middlesbrough vs Charlton today

NordVPN

1. Download & Install: Sign up to ExpressVPN or another reputable VPN service (check out GOAL's guide here) and download the app on your device.
2. Connect to a Server: Open the app and select a server location where the match is being shown (e.g. if you are in the UK but want to watch a US stream, connect to a US server).
3. Clear Cache: Sometimes your browser holds onto your old location. Clear your cookies or refresh your browser to ensure the change takes effect.
4. Start Streaming: Go to your broadcaster's website and app and enjoy the game.

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.
