Watching Ligue 1 from outside Nigeria?

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 Spain

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