Watching the DFB-Pokal from outside France?

This match isn't sold the same way in every country. Here's the route that actually completes from outside its home market, including how to pay when your own card is refused.

  1. 1

    Get a VPN, then connect it to Canada

    You need a VPN subscription first - it gives you an address in Canada, which is what the broadcaster checks.

    Get NordVPN

    Fastest for 4K sport, US$3.39/mo, 30-day money-back. Or Proton VPN (free tier) or Surfshark (US$2.49/mo)

  2. 2

    Subscribe to DAZN

    Pay with PayPal. PayPal usually clears where a foreign card is declined.

    Also on DAZN in Portugal, New Zealand - any of these works.
