La Liga Football Live Stream: How to watch Getafe vs. Barcelona from anywhere

After a week of cup triumphs, Barcelona will look to translate that form to the league when they take on struggling Getafe on Saturday in La Liga.

Hansi Flick’s side followed up their brilliant win over Real Madrid last weekend in the Spanish Super Cup with a routine 5-1 drubbing of Real Betis in the Copa Del Rey on Wednesday. Now attention turns to their faltering La Liga campaign, with Barça currently third and 6 points off leaders Atlético Madrid, following back-to-back defeats to Leganes and Atlético.

They face a Getafe side who are currently just 3 points outside the relegation zone in 15th place. While they boast the third-best defensive record in the league, José Bordalás’ men have struggled to score this term. They have hit the back of the net just 13 times in their 19 games so far.

Getafe take on Barcelona at the Estadio Coliseum on Saturday 18 January. Kickoff is set for 21:00 CET local time, making it a 3:00 PM ET and 12:00 PM PT start in the USA, a 20:00 GMT start in the UK and a 7am AEDT Sunday kickoff in Australia.

How to watch La Liga anywhere with a VPN

If you are unable to watch La Liga 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 can 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.

Quick tips for streaming La Liga using a VPN

• With four variables at play – your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN – your experience and success when streaming La Liga 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.
