Things don’t get any easier for winless Scotland as they take on Group A1 leaders Portugal in this crucial UEFA Nations League match at Hampden Park today.

Despite taking an early lead with a first-half goal from Ryan Christie, Scotland crashed out to a 2-1 defeat to Croatia on Saturday – a result that puts them in grave danger of being relegated to the second tier of this competition.

Portugal, meanwhile, are heading for a place in the quarter-finals with three wins from three matches. Their latest was a 3-1 win over Poland last weekend, in a match where Bernardo Silva and Cristiano Ronaldo were both on the scoresheet.

Scotland host Portugal at Hampden Park in Glasgow Tuesday October 15. The kick-off is scheduled 7:45pm BST local time in Scotland. That makes it one 2:45 PM ET or 11:45 AM PT in the US and Canada, and 5:45am AEDT on Wednesday, October 16 in Australia.

Below we list the best live TV streaming services to watch the game live, wherever you are in the world.

Livestream the Scotland vs Portugal match in the US

Today’s match will be available on Fubo Sports Network, the streaming platform’s dedicated sports service.

There’s a lot to like about Fubo. In addition to its own Fubo Sports Network, it offers a wide selection of channels, and its focus on sports makes it especially attractive to football fans, as well as NBA, NHL and MLB fans who live in an area served by one of Fubo’s RSNs. It’s also a great choice for NFL fans because, along with YouTube TV and Hulu, it’s one of three services that offer NFL Network and optional RedZone. The biggest hole in Fubo’s lineup is the lack of Warner Bros. Discovery networks, including HGTV, Food Network, Cartoon Network, CNN, TNT and TBS – especially since the latter two offer a lot of sports content, especially NBA, NHL and MLB. Those missing channels and the $80 price tag make it less attractive than YouTube TV for most viewers. Read our Fubo review.

How to watch the Scotland vs Portugal match online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find that you can’t watch this Nations League match locally, you may need another way to watch the match. That’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speed on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a good idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and give you an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to access the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it very easy to do this.

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in every 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’ll want to make sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: even if VPNs are legal, the streaming service can terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing properly applied blackout restrictions.

It normally costs $13 per month, but if you sign up for a $100 annual subscription you get three months free and save 49%.

Quick tips for streaming international football with a VPN

• With four variables at play (your ISP, browser, video streaming provider, and VPN), your experiences and success streaming football may vary.
• If you don’t see the location you want as the default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
• If you’re having trouble downloading the game after turning on your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, you can try two things to quickly resolve this. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is one in the correct display area. If not, you may need to change the physical address registered with your account. Second, some smart TVs (like Roku) don’t have VPN apps that you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll need to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you use (like your phone) so that every device on the 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, after you install a cable network’s sports app, smart TV services will ask you to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your registered email address for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help as both devices appear to be in the right location.
• And don’t forget that browsers can often give away location despite using a VPN, so make sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
