The World Cup is in its knockout phase. And so far, this had led to some intense matches that completely made up for the slow start of the Championship. And now it’s time for the last match of the 1/8 finals – Portugal going up against Switzerland.

Neither of the two teams has had a really smooth World Cup so far. Portugal started off winning against Ghana (3:2) as well as Uruguay (2:0) but ended up losing to South Korea in its last match of the group phase.

Switzerland had a tougher go at the Cup but still managed to hold its own by first winning against Cameroon (1:0), then losing to Brazil (0:1), and, finally, winning against Serbia 3:2 in a pretty tough battle.

Portugal might be the absolute favorite of the match, but this World Cup has seen crazier things happen. So we wouldn’t put it behind Switzerland having a trick up its sleeve. Dying to know what’s going to happen? Well, you are going to have to tune in to find out!

Watch Portugal vs. Switzerland on RTP Sport from abroad

With Portugal having a shot at the World Cup, you bet everyone in the country… heck, everyone who speaks Portuguese will be streaming the match.

Well, fortunately for those in Portugal, there is no shortage of World Cup streaming options, most notably the national broadcaster RTP Sport, which will be broadcasting most of the Championship live and free on all available channels. What is unfortunate, is that the streams are exclusive to Portugal and can’t be accessed from abroad, leaving hundreds and thousands of fans without a way to cheer for their team along with the entire country.

None of this is an issue, however, for anyone who has ExpressVPN. Because all you need to do to tune in is:

1. Get an ExpressVPN subscription, download, and install the app on your device.
2. Then, launch the app and connect to one of the provider’s servers in Portugal.
3. Finally, head over to the RTP Sport online streaming platform and enjoy the game!
