All of the Euro 2020 group stage games have been played, which means we now know who will compete in the round of 16! One of the most-anticipated matches is France vs Switzerland, which will kick off on Monday, June 28, at 8 PM BST (9 PM CEST). The game will be held at the National Arena in Bucharest, Romania. On vacation when the game’s due to be played? We’ll explain how you can use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to watch France vs Switzerland live online from anywhere.
You can find many unlicensed streams of Euro 2020 matches online. However, we’re only recommending official sources for watching France vs Switzerland. Not only are they higher resolution with less lag and buffering, they also don’t run the risk of being taken offline for copyright infringement. Better still, some of the official sources are available to live stream for free. As such, there’s just no need to resort to using shady streams.
Most platforms showing France vs Switzerland are region-locked. To watch via your usual home streaming service from abroad, you’ll therefore need to use a VPN.
How to watch France vs Switzerland live online with a VPN
Once you have a VPN you’ll be able to connect to a server in another country and change your IP address. In doing so, you can spoof your location and access geo-restricted content such as France vs Switzerland.
Here’s how to live stream France vs Switzerland using a VPN:
- Sign up with a reputable VPN provider. We recommend NordVPN although Surfshark and ExpressVPN are two high-quality and reliable alternatives for you to consider.
- Select the appropriate VPN app for the device on which you plan to stream France vs Switzerland. You should then proceed to download and install it.
- Open the VPN app and connect to a server in the country of the streaming platform you’d like to access. For example, a server in the UK for unblocking BBC iPlayer.
- Now you can go to the streaming platform and select a live stream. It should now play without issue in your location.
- Still geo-blocked? Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies. Alternatively, it’s worth connecting to another server.
The France vs Switzerland game will of course air live. Testing your VPN with your chosen streaming platform ahead of time may help you avoid last-minute hiccups. If you happen to encounter an issue, you’ll then have time to get in touch with your VPN’s customer support.
