If you're unable to watch the FA Cup Final in your area, you may need to consider a way to stream it instead. Using a VPN can solve this issue.
A VPN can also be the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speeds on match day, by protecting your traffic, (and it can also be a good idea if you are travelling, and you find yourself using a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add another layer of protection for your devices and logins). With a VPN you can change your location virtually from your phone, tablet or laptop, and gain access to the match. Most VPNs such as NordVPN make this process easy for you.
If you're unsure of which VPN to go with, we recommend NordVPN, or you can read our comprehensive VPN guide to see what suits your preferences best.
