The Three Lions enjoyed a comfortable 2-0 win in the reverse fixture in Dublin in September, but the Irish come into this match on a high after recording a 1-0 win at home to Finland in midweek.
England host the Republic of Ireland at Wembley Stadium in North London Sunday November 17. The kick-off is scheduled 5:00 PM GMT local time in Great Britainmaking it a 12:00 PM ET or 9:00 AM PT kick-off in the US and Canada, and a 4am AEDT starts on Monday November 18 in Australia.

Live stream the match between England and the Republic of Ireland 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 England vs Republic of Ireland 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 you want to add 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.

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 to 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, with Smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you may be asked 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.
