All of those options are US-only (except for MLS Season Pass, which is restricted to the US and Canada), but a virtual private network (VPN) can hide your IP address and connect you to a digital server located in the United States. This allows you to operate online as if you were located in the US. In other words, if you’re in Spain or some other country, you can connect to a VPN to watch the match via one of the aforementioned streaming services.

NordVPN would be our recommendation, as it tops our list of the best VPN services. It’s currently on sale, but you can also try it out risk-free thanks to a 30-day money-back guarantee.
