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 ExpressVPN, 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.

Atletico Ottawa vs Nashville SC kick-off time

Match preview

Like Atleti, Nashville are coming off a silverware season, having lifted the 2025 U.S. Open Cup by defeating Austin FC 2-1 in the final.

Nashville also added the 30-year-old Argentine Cristian Espinoza to its roster after he scored 31 times in 154 matches for the San Jose Earthquakes. Reigning Canada Premier League champions Atlético Ottawa's young defensive unit will need to be wary of his experience and know-how.  

Should Nashville advance past Ottawa in this two-legged affair, it will play conference rival Inter Miami CF — the team responsible for its 2025 MLS Cup, 2024 Champions Cup and 2023 Leagues Cup exits.

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.
