    Morocco is in the World Cup semifinals. These are words I couldn’t imagine typing at the start of the tournament, but here we are. It’s the first ever African nation to make it this far in the tournament and has already taken some incredible scalps en route. Belgium, Spain and Portugal have all fallen by the wayside, but now Morocco takes on arguably the best team in the tournament, France.
    France’s talented squad is strong throughout, but its greatest threat is Kylian Mbappé. At 23 years of age, he is the tournament’s current top scorer and is surely the best player on the planet right now. Mbappé already has one World Cup and is looking to give France back-to-back wins — a huge deal, since no one’s pulled it off since Brazil in 1962.

    The France-Morocco game starts on?Wednesday, Dec. 14, at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT). The winner will play Argentina in the World Cup Final on Sunday, Dec. 18. The loser will face Croatia in the third-place game on Saturday, Dec. 17.
    The remaining matches of the 2022 World Cup will be shown nationwide in the US on Peacock and Fox, which is available on numerous live TV streaming services. Outside the US, World Cup matches are being carried by other streaming services, including the BBC and ITV in the UK, SBS in Australia and TSN in Canada. But what if you’re traveling outside your home country and want to enjoy the match, or just want an added layer of?privacy for streaming? There is an option that doesn’t require searching the internet for a sketchy website: You can use a VPN, or virtual private network.
    Here’s how you can watch the France-Morocco game, and the rest of the 2022 World Cup, from anywhere in the world with a VPN.?

    When is the France vs. Morocco match?
    France plays Morocco at 2 p.m. ET (11 a.m. PT)?on Wednesday, Dec. 14.?

     How to watch the France vs. Morocco match online from anywhere using a VPN
    If you find yourself unable to view the match locally, that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on match day by encrypting your traffic, plus it’s a great idea for when you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
    With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area. Most VPNs, like our?Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
    Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US and Canada, as long as you’ve got a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Quick tips for streaming the World Cup 2022 using a VPN

  • With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — experience and success may vary.
  • If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
  • If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
  • All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.?
  • And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend?Brave.
