Match preview

Groningen are on a dismal six-match losing streak, a sequence which has seen them slide down to 11th in the Eredivisie. Most recently, they went down 3-2 to Volendam. Relegation shouldn't be a concern, but the drop down the log won't go down well with fans.

Dutch giants Ajax have become the draw specialists in the Netherlands, drawing four of their last five matches and 11 overall this season. Agonisingly for supporters, they've not won the Eredivisie crown since 2021-22. One positive from their campaign is breakout star Mika Godts. The 20-year-old Belgian has 13 goals and eight assists in 23 Eredivisie appearances this term.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch FC Groningen vs Ajax today

NordVPN streaming online from abroadNordVPN

  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.

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.
