Using a VPN to Watch From Anywhere

If you face regional restrictions or want extra security while streaming, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps. Services like ExpressVPN let you connect to servers in countries where the game is broadcast, bypassing blackouts and geo-blocks.

Steps to watch with a VPN:

1. Sign up and install a trusted VPN app.
2. Connect to a server where the match airs (e.g., US server to watch on FOX).
3. Clear your browser cache to update location settings.
4. Visit your broadcaster’s site or app and start streaming.

Recent Form

Their recent encounters have been thrilling. Spain won 5-4 in the UEFA Nations League final in June 2025, and they also defeated France 2-1 in Euro 2024 semi-finals. France claimed victory in the 2021 Nations League final with a 2-1 scoreline.

Across their last five meetings, Spain holds three wins, France two, with 16 goals shared between them. Their close contests suggest this semi-final could be just as intense.
