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).

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.

2/5

Uruguay have taken one win, three draws, and one defeat from their last five matches, scoring five goals and conceding five. Their most recent outing ended 2-2 against Cape Verde in the World Cup on June 21, a result that followed an earlier 1-1 draw with Saudi Arabia in their group opener. The sequence also includes a 1-1 friendly draw with England and a goalless stalemate with Algeria. The low point of the run was a 5-1 defeat to the United States in November 2025, a result that underlined the inconsistency Bielsa has been working to address.

Spain's last five matches show two wins, two draws, and one defeat. Their most recent result was a 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia on June 21, a performance that confirmed their status as Group H leaders. Before that, they were held 0-0 by Cape Verde in their World Cup opener. Across the five games, Spain have scored six goals and conceded one, with clean sheets in their pre-tournament friendlies against Egypt and Iraq setting a solid defensive foundation heading into the tournament.
