Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Canada vs Qatar 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.

Canada have not won in four of their last five matches, recording one win, three draws, and one defeat. Their most recent outing was a 1-1 draw with Bosnia and Herzegovina in their World Cup opener on June 12. They also drew 1-1 with Ireland in a friendly on June 5 and drew 2-2 with Iceland in March. Their only win in the run came against Uzbekistan, a 2-0 friendly victory on June 2. Canada scored six goals across the five matches and conceded four.

Qatar's recent form makes for difficult reading. They have one draw and two losses across their last three competitive matches, with their World Cup opener against Switzerland on June 13 ending 1-1 after a stoppage-time equaliser. Before that, they drew 0-0 with El Salvador and lost 1-0 to Ireland in friendlies. Their FIFA Arab Cup campaign in December 2025 included a 3-0 loss to Tunisia and a 1-1 draw with Syria. Qatar scored two goals and conceded five across their last five matches.
