Boasting a perfect record of four wins from their first four Group B fixtures, France will be hoping to edge a step closer to qualification for Euro 2024 this evening as they take on Ireland in Paris.
France host Ireland at Le Parc des Princes in Paris on Thursday, Sept. 7. Kickoff is set for 8:45 p.m. CET local time in France (7:45 p.m. BST in the UK and Ireland, 2:45 p.m. ET, 11.45 a.m. PT in the US, and 4:45 a.m. AEST on Friday, Sept. 8 in Australia).
If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game — 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 game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if 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. 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, UK and Canada, as long as you have 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.
