The World Cup final is finally here, with Argentina and France fighting for that famous trophy. It’s time to clear your schedule, make yourself some serious snacks, and settle down for 90 electrifying minutes of action.

That’s your plan sorted if you’re in the UK, but what about if you’re based outside the UK or you’re travelling at the time of the World Cup final? You need to use a VPN to avoid missing out. VPNs can hide your real IP address and connect you to a secure server in the UK. This straightforward process lets you watch sites like BBC iPlayer and ITV from anywhere in the world.

When is Argentina vs France?

The FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and France will take place on Sunday, Dec. 18:

  • Argentian vs France — 3 p.m. GMT / 10 a.m. ET (BBC One/ITV 1 or BBC iPlayer/ITVX)

The game will be shown live on BBC One and ITV 1, or you can livestream the final on BBC iPlayer and ITVX.

Can you livestream Argentina vs France from abroad?

The FIFA World Cup final between Argentina and France will be livestreamed on BBC iPlayer and ITVX. Unfortunately, both of these popular streaming sites will recognise if you’re not based in the UK and will block you if you try and stream the match from abroad. The only way to get around this geo-restriction is with a VPN. These cybersecurity services can hide your real IP address and connect you 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 final from anywhere in the world.

Simply sign up to a VPN, download the app for your preferred operating system, and then connect to a server in the UK. This quick and easy process will provide immediate access to BBC iPlayer and ITVX.
