Real Madrid will look to bounce back from their Supercup final disaster at the weekend when they host Celta Vigo in this Copa Del Rey round of 16 clash.

Los Blancos boss Carlo Ancelotti will be expecting a positive response from his players after they went down 5-2 to arch-rivals Barcelona in Sunday’s Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia.

They now face Galician team Celta, who are currently in 12th place in La Liga. Claudio Giráldez González’s men had to fight past second-placed Racing Santander in the last round to reach this stage.

Real Madrid take on Celta Vigo at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu on Thursday 16 January. Kickoff is set for 21.30 CET local time, making it a 3:30 PM ET and 12:30 PM PT start in the USA, a 20:30 GMT start in the UK and a 7:30am AEDT Friday kickoff in Australia.

Below we will outline the best live tv streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world.

How to watch Copa Del Rey from anywhere with a VPN

If you are unable to watch Copa Del Rey matches locally, you may need another way to watch the matches – this is where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a good idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and you will add an extra layer of privacy to your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you are able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to access the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

It’s legal to use a VPN to watch or stream sports in all countries where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. Make sure your VPN is set up properly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service can terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing properly applied blackout restrictions.

ExpressVPN is our current top VPN pick for people who want a reliable and secure VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It’s normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for a $100 annual plan, you’ll get three months free and save 49%. That equates to $6.67 per month.

Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Can I live stream Real Madrid vs. Celta Vigo in the UK?

While Premier Sports and ITV show La Liga matches in the UK, no UK broadcaster currently has the rights to show Spanish Copa Del Rey matches.

It also means that if you’re in the UK and traveling for pleasure or work, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to watch the game as you normally would at home thanks to geo-blocking.

However, there is one way around this. By using a VPN, as explained above, you can set your location to a country where the match is being broadcast and go from there.

Can I live stream Real Madrid vs. Celta Vigo in Canada?

Like the UK, no Canadian broadcaster will show today’s game.

Can I live stream Real Madrid vs. Celta Vigo in Australia?

It’s the same story Down Under, with no Austrian TV station set to show this cup tournament.

Quick tips to stream Spanish Copa Del Rey matches using a VPN

• With four variables at play – your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN – your experience and success when streaming Spanish Copa Del Rey matches can vary.
• If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using “search by city or country”.
• If you’re having trouble getting the game after turning on your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and ensure that the address registered to the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address registered to your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you use (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network will now appear in the correct display location.
• All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main page to quickly install the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you will be asked to confirm a numeric code or click on a link sent to your email address registered with your smart- television. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help as both devices appear to be in the right location.
• Remember that browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so make sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We usually recommend Brave.
