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.

Werder Bremen vs Hoffenheim will kick off on 27 Jan 2026 at 14:30 EST and 19:30 GMT.

Match preview

Bremen's winless run now stands at nine matches after a defeat against Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend. They've forgotten what it feels like to win a match, with their last success coming in November against Wolfsburg. This poor run leaves them just a single point above the relegation zone. Things don't get any easier, with the visit of in-form Hoffenheim next on the agenda.

Only Borussia Dortmund and leaders Bayern have collected more away league points than Hoffenheim’s 19 this season. Evergreen Croatian Andrej Kramaric has starred, scoring six and assisting three in the league.

Five of the last six H2Hs have been won by the away side on the day.

>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.
