Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Ivory Coast vs Ecuador 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.

Ivory Coast arrive in Philadelphia in strong form, winning four of their last five matches. Their most recent outing produced a 1-2 victory over France in a friendly on June 4, and they also beat Scotland 1-0 and thrashed Republic of Korea 4-0 in March. Their only defeat in that run came against Egypt in the Africa Cup of Nations, a 3-2 loss in January. Across those five games, the Elephants scored nine goals and conceded six.

Ecuador are unbeaten in four of their last five fixtures. They beat Guatemala 3-0 on June 7 and recorded a 2-1 win over Saudi Arabia in May. La Tri drew 1-1 with both the Netherlands and Morocco in March, demonstrating they can hold their own against strong opposition. Ecuador beat New Zealand 2-0 in November 2025, and across the five-match run they scored eight goals and conceded just three.
