How to watch Oregon vs. Michigan from anywhere

Football fans traveling outside of the US during the Oregon vs. Michigan game can still keep up with their streaming options with the help of a VPN. Short for virtual private networks, VPNs are cybersecurity tools that let you change your device’s virtual location. This way, you can use your go-to apps and subscriptions just like you would back home. This option will work best for Americans since the services we’ve recommended today require US methods of payment.

ExpressVPN is a great place to start if you don’t already have a VPN. It’s easy to use, has a 30-day money-back guarantee, and has a few other perks, which we break down in our ExpressVPN review.

• Install it on the device you’re using to watch.
• Turn it on and set it to the location of your desired streaming service.

Note: The use of VPNs is illegal in certain countries, and using VPNs to access region-locked streaming content might constitute a breach of the terms of use for certain services. Insider does not endorse or condone the illegal use of VPNs.
