When is England vs Wales?

England and Wales will contest their final group on Tuesday, Nov. 29:

The game will be shown live on BBC One. If you need to watch online, you can live stream England vs Wales on BBC iPlayer.

How can you watch England vs Wales from abroad?

If you’ve ever tried to connect to BBC iPlayer (or ITVX) abroad, you’ll find that you get blocked. This is obviously frustrating, but there is something you can do to get around this annoying restriction. By using a streaming-friendly VPN, you can hide your real IP address and connect to a secure server in the UK. This tricks sites like BBC iPlayer and ITVX into thinking you are back home, meaning you can watch the World Cup from anywhere in the world without hassle.

All you need to do is sign up to one of many streaming-friendly services, download the appropriate app for your preferred operating system, and then connect to a server in the UK. The process is genuinely really quick and easy.

BBC has the rights to show England and Wales on Nov. 29, so you’ll need to follow these steps to unblock BBC iPlayer.

There are plenty of services that can unblock BBC iPlayer from anywhere in the world, but ExpressVPN is probably the best at the job.
