Scotland will look to lift themselves out of Group A1 when they take on second-place Croatia in this Nations League match at the Maksimir Stadium.

Scotland boss Steve Clarke has seen his side suffer two defeats in their opening games after conceding late goals against Portugal and Poland.

The home side could go top of the group with a win today, with the Croatian boss tipped to blood some younger stars as he looks to move away from reliance on experienced big names like Luka Modrić, Mateo Kovačić and Ivan Perišić, who all look like they’re going to play today.

Croatia hosts Scotland at the Maksimir Stadium in Zagreb Saturday Oct 12. The kick-off is scheduled 4:00 PM CEST local time in Croatia. That makes it one 5pm BST starting in Britain, that is 10am ET or 7am PT in the US and Canada and 1am AEST on Sunday, October 13 in Australia.

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

How to watch the Croatia vs Scotland 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.

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.
