The race for the Premier League is heating up as Swansea City prepares to host high-flying Middlesbrough at the Swansea.com Stadium. While Swansea finds itself in mid-table (14th), looking to play the role of spoiler, Boro currently occupies 2nd place and is desperate for points to secure automatic promotion. 

Recent form favours the visitors, who have picked up dominant wins against Birmingham and QPR, though they have struggled for goals in their most recent outings against low-block defences. Swansea will be aiming to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 defeat to Coventry, relying on their ability to strike from distance and the clinical finishing of the league's top scorer, Zan Vipotnik.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Swansea vs Middlesbrough 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).

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.
