It’s a crucial AFCON Group C clash on Friday that brings together two of the pretournament favorites as Senegal take on Cameroon at the Stade de Yamoussoukro in the capital of host country Ivory Coast. 

Defending champions Senegal made the perfect start to their campaign with a professional 3-0 demolition of 10-man Gambia on Monday. 

Five-time AFCON winners Cameroon, meanwhile, were held to a 1-1 draw against Guinea in their first match of the tournament. The Indomitable Lions should probably should have lost on the balance of play, and coach Rigobert Song will know his side will need to put in a significantly improved performance today if they’re to get anything out of this key fixture. 

Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the tournament live wherever you are in the world.

How to watch the Africa Cup of Nations online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the tournament locally, you may need a different way to watch games — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins. 

With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, non-blackout area. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this. 

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
