How to Unlock the Free Stream with a VPN

The match is available to live stream for free on the UK's Channel 4. However, this platform is geo-restricted, meaning it's only accessible from within the UK. To get around this, you can use a VPN (Virtual Private Network). A VPN hides your real IP address and connects you to a server in the UK, making it appear as though you are browsing from there.

While the best VPNs aren't free, most offer generous money-back guarantees. For example, ExpressVPN provides a 30-day money-back guarantee, allowing you to watch the tournament and get a full refund, making it effectively free.
