Germany vs Spain is set to take place on Thursday, September 3, at 8:45 PM CET (7:45 PM BST / 2:45 PM EST). This is one of the 10 matches that kick off the opening day of the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League. If you’re traveling abroad, you may need a VPN in order to be able to live stream Germany vs Spain. That’s because the match is subject to copyright and licensing restrictions and is region-locked as a result.

Please keep in mind that we’re only recommending official sources for watching Germany vs Spain. Unauthorized streams are likely but they’ll almost certainly be of poor quality with low resolution as well as lag. Some unofficial sources will even be taken offline for violating copyright. Besides, there’s a way for you to watch Germany vs Spain live online for free. This means that you don’t need to risk missing out on the match if you are traveling abroad.

The Germany vs Spain Nations League match will only be shown on region-locked platforms. If you’re traveling abroad, you’ll need a VPN to continue watching on your usual TV platforms and streaming services from home.

How to watch Germany vs Spain live online with a VPN

With a VPN, you can spoof your location and watch Germany vs Spain live online from anywhere. These services work by encrypting your internet traffic, keeping your data hidden from hackers and snoopers alike. In connecting to a server in another country, you receive a different IP address, allowing you to unblock geo-restricted content from that location.

Here’s how to live stream Germany vs Spain from anywhere using a VPN:

  • First, select a VPN provider. We particularly recommend ExpressVPN. However, NordVPN and Surfshark are two excellent alternatives offering value for money.
  • Next, download and install the appropriate VPN app or browser extension for your device (the device on which you want to stream Germany vs Spain live online).
  • Open the VPN app and connect to a server in the country of the platform on which you’d like to watch the game. For example, a server in Germany to watch via ZDF.
  • Go to your preferred platform and select a live stream. The content should now be unblocked and play without restriction.
  • If you’re still having trouble, clear your browser’s cookies. You could also try connecting to another server. Alternatively, contact your VPN’s customer support.

The Germany vs Spain 2020–21 Nations League match will broadcast live. We recommend you test your VPN with La 1 and ZDF in advance. That way, you can troubleshoot any potential issues and reduce the risk of missing out on the night.

How to live stream Germany vs Spain on German TV

One of the ways in which you can watch Germany vs Spain live online for free is on ZDF. What’s particularly good about this option is that you don’t even need to sign up for an account to stream ZDF. However, you will need to connect to a VPN server in Germany to get a German IP address if you’re abroad. That’s because ZDF content is geo-blocked and only available in Germany.

If you’re not ready to commit to a VPN subscription, you might be interested to know about ExpressVPN’s 30-day money-back guarantee. An upfront payment is required but you then have 30 days to request a full refund for your money back. As such, it’s a risk-free way to try out a quality paid VPN service and live stream Germany vs Spain for free.

Where else can I watch Germany vs Spain live online?

The good news is that there are a number of other ways (free and paid) to watch Germany vs Spain.

Spain

Like ZDF, Spain’s La 1 will air Germany vs Spain live online for free. Better still, there’s no need to sign up for an account in order to watch. That said, if you’re traveling abroad, you’ll need to connect to a server in Spain. The reason for this is that RTVE channels (La 1, La 2, TDP, 24h) are all region-locked and only available in Spain. However, once you have a Spanish IP address via a VPN service, you’re good to go!

UK

If you’re in the UK and have a Sky Sports subscription, you can watch Germany vs Spain live at no extra cost. You can watch online via the Sky Go app. However, there’s also a way to watch the Sky Sports broadcast contract-free. Now TV offers a Sky Sports Day Pass for £9.99 or Month Pass for £33.99. This provides access to 11 Sky Sports channels. To watch Sky Go or Now TV abroad you’ll need a UK IP address which you can get by connecting to a VPN server in the UK.
