After a bit of advice.
Looking to get a VPN to watch the football.
A few questions:
Which VPN to go for?
Got Apple TV, got chromecast, got iphone. Which VPN is best with my setup?
Got subscription to Paramount+. I’ve heard that I can get the games on that if I go through the USA or Mexico servers. Is this true?
If that doesn’t work, is Peacock an option? What streaming service do you use to watch the football?
Thanks in advance.

I have had Nord and now have Atlas. I have Android phone, tablet and chromebook. All I can say is they both work for me in as much as I can watch UK television.
Noy much help, but just to say I think either would do what you want, Nord is better by réputation

Cheers 52.
I’m looking to watch it on the tv, either through the apple tv or chromecast. I’ve downloaded Nord, but not signed up yet.
Do you have the CPN on your phone and then cinnect it to your tv?

I'm currently based in the US for a bit and use NordVPN for any iPlayer/ITV fixes I might need. It's dead simple to work and does what it's supposed to! I do it all through my phone/laptop so can't comment on the AppleTV/Chromecast. It was on top cashback at the time so it worked out really cheap for a year when I did it.
In the US, Peacock has most of the Saturday 3pm games and one or so of the other matches (haven't quite worked out exactly the pattern on that one). It's also really cheap at around $6 monthly. The more "blockbuster" games tend to be on USA or Fox... If you have SKY/BT then you're covered already, otherwise in the US you can go through SlingTV or Hulu and make sure you get the sports packages. They cost more than Peacock - I think Hulu might include champions league (which sling doesn't) which could mean you don't need paramount+ if that's the reason you have it.
Hope that helps!

I have Surfshark which is cheap and great. I paid 50euro for 2 years (Ireland). I have used ExpressVPN before and surf is as good for the things I need - watch football matches. The only difference I see is if you need dedicated IP which Nord provides but surf doesn't. Some streaming blocks VPN and dedicated IP is the way around it.

Always used PrivateVPN
Works for me in every country I’ve tried it

I do think Nord is the one to go for. It can sign in numerous servers around the world, and I never got blocked using it. I just leave it on all the time as it's good protection against hackers as well.

I use cyberghost. They all do the same job and do it fairly well tbh. Pick one that offers the best deal e.g. £50 over two years or something.

I think with Peacock etc you have to have a credit card registered to a US address so even a VPN alone won't work.
I used Nord myself.
