Live stream Spain vs Morocco – when and where

The Kaliningrad Stadium, in, yep you guessed it, Kaliningrad, will host Spain vs Morocco on Monday, June 25. 

Kick off is at 9pm local time – that’s 7pm BST (the same as in Morocco), 2pm ET, 11am PT, 8pm in Spain.

Spain are within touching distance of the knock-out rounds of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, with an already-eliminated Morocco now the only remaining hurdle for Fernando Hierro’s side in Group B. If you’re hoping to live stream the Spain vs Morocco action, you’re in the right place. 

The Spanish are joint top with Portugal on four points, so only an unlikely slip-up here will halt their march into the last 16. 

Despite two encouraging performances, particularly in their second game against Portugal, Morocco are out of the tournament and will only be fighting for pride in Kaliningrad. Will they finally be able to register their first goal and simultaneously keep an in-form Diego Costa at bay?

You’ll be able to find out by following one of the Spain vs Morocco live stream options below. In case you haven’t seen already, we’ve got all the details covered for how to watch the World Cup 2018 wherever you are in the world. 

Use a VPN to watch the World Cup 2018 from anywhere for FREE

You don’t have to miss a single minute of World Cup soccer – even if the country where you are isn’t broadcasting certain games. Because every second of action is being shown somewhere (the UK, for example, is televising every game for free – see below), you can simply use a VPN to login to a region that is broadcasting the game. And it’s really easy to do:

1. Download and install a VPN
We’ve tested all of the major VPN services and we rate ExpressVPN as the absolute best. It’s compatible with all of your devices, supports most streaming services and ranks amongst the fastest. You can even install it on devices like an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox and PlayStation. So for a one-stop shop, you can’t go wrong with Express – but there are more fantastic VPN options out there as well:

The best 3 VPNs for streaming sports online
1. ExpressVPN:  the best all-round VPN for streaming, comes with 30-day money back guarantee and/or 15 months for the price of 12
2. VyprVPN:  a 40% discount and blazing speeds make VyprVPN a great choice for 4K – and during the World Cup, it’s giving you the chance to win a PS4 + FIFA 18
3. IPVanish: supports up to 10 devices, so great on the go and has 25% off for the World Cup

2. Connect to the appropriate server location
Simply open the VPN app, hit ‘choose location’ and select the appropriate location – it’s super easy to do. If in any doubt, just head straight to the UK.

3. Go to the broadcaster’s live stream or TVPlayer.com
If you know exactly what station you’re hoping to catch the game on, then you don’t need us any longer – head straight there. If you’re not sure, just stick with TVPlayer.com in the UK. It will be showing all the games for free. You don’t even have to sign up.

Want to record the game and catch it in your spare time. TVPlayer Plus carries a £5.99 monthly fee but let’s you ‘record’ up to 10 hours of TV to watch at your leisure. And you can take advantage of its 14-day free trial, too.

How to stream Spain vs Morocco live in the UK 

Spain vs Morocco from Group B will be shown on the BBC Four in the UK, with ITV covering the Group A action earlier in the day. Kick off for this one is at 7pm BST.

If you prefer to watch the match on a mobile device or on your computer, you can do so with BBC iPlayer which is even streaming matches live in 4k resolution with high dynamic range colour (HDR), though it will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

If you’re not in the UK but still want to get the BBC coverage, then you’ll need to get a VPN. That will let you change your laptop or mobile device’s IP to a UK location, from where you can then watch on TVPlayer.com.

How to watch Spain vs Morocco: US live stream 

Fox Sports is the official US broadcaster for World Cup soccer in the US and Spain vs Morocco kicks off at 2pm ET or 11am PT. If you don’t have cable, you could always grab a free trial to another streaming service like Sling and Fuboand watch on there.

The alternative is to use a VPN service to grab a live stream from another country’s coverage. Scroll up and check out our instructions above.

Google’s Android has the largest installed base of smartphones around the globe with more than a billion daily active users – so it’s no surprise that there are a lot of VPN apps which support the OS. Particularly when you consider that the devices which connect to these services are usually mobile ones.

Most of the best VPN providers have dedicated Android apps, while a smaller number let you set up their service via manual configuration – although, of course, some offerings don’t have mobile support at all.

A word of warning: make sure you avoid the dodgy ones on Google Play as quite a few free players promise to provide a free service but don’t mention the strings attached.

Our top picks for best VPN services for Android are

1. ExpressVPN

Best all-round Android VPN

Number of servers: 2000 | Server locations: 148 | IP addresses: 30,000 | Maximum devices supported: 3

Well designed Android app
Excellent speeds
A bit pricier than others
Only 3 simultaneous connections

[Save 49%] ExpressVPN Special Deal – Get 3 months free with an annual plan on Techradar’s #1 Rated VPN Service.

There are many things to like about ExpressVPN for Android. The dedicated app is extremely user-friendly and straightforward, but also offers lots of advanced options. On the security front, it boasts AES 256-bit encryption, while the speeds we witnessed using the VPN were consistently fast. 

ExpressVPN provides quality apps for a wide range of devices, and Android is no exception. The Android app provides access to high speed servers across 94 countries and is compatible across phones, tablets, Kindles and Android TV boxes.

After signing up for an ExpressVPN subscription, the website will provide instructions to install the app on your device (usually via Google Play or through an APK file). The website also features a wide array of handy content and video guides on using their apps, as well as 24/7 customer support by live chat in case you run into any issues.

ExpressVPN is definitely not the cheapest VPN out there, but it may be worth the price for those who want the best Android experience. The 30-day money-back guarantee lets you test the service with reassurance.

ExpressVPN offers three price plans, with the 12-month plan offering the biggest saving as you would expect (you get an extra three months). The packages available are:

2. IPVanish

Fastest Android VPN

Number of servers: 1000+ | Server locations: 60+ | IP addresses: 40,000+ | Maximum devices supported: 10

No logs policy
Impressive performance
Not cheap for non-Techradar readers
No free trial

The IPVanish app is good overall, although it’s missing a kill switch, a standard feature which instantly shuts down the internet connection in the event the VPN drops (to prevent your true IP from being revealed).

Still, that doesn’t detract from the impressive download speeds this VPN achieved during our testing. Furthermore, there’s no logging of the user’s activity here, plus you get 256-bit AES encryption with the OpenVPN protocol, along with 24/7 customer support.

However, the price might be the one negative element which drives folks away. There’s no free trial, although three available plans come with a 7-day money-back guarantee. The 1-year subscription is the best and most popular choice when it comes to the three packages which are available:

3. NordVPN

Most secure Android VPN

Number of servers: 4514 | Server locations: 62 | IP addresses: N/A | Maximum devices supported: 6

Double data encryption
Good performance
Overly basic app

NordVPN has some impressive strengths including ‘Double VPN’ technology which passes your connection through two separate VPN servers, as opposed to just the one, for an extra layer of security (there are only a certain number of Double VPN servers, though). NordVPN also has a ‘zero logs’ policy, meaning it doesn’t track the user’s online activity.

While the focus is clearly on security and privacy, NordVPN doesn’t lag in other areas. The Android app is easy-to-use, but pretty basic and lacks configuration options, with the desktop app having a much better interface. The performance was good, although nothing spectacular. The app also provides a live chat feature for 24/7 customer support.

NordVPN is reasonably priced, too, and has a free 3-day trial (download the app from the Play Store and register with your Google Play account). There are four plans available, all with a 30-day money-back guarantee. The 3-year offer is clearly the best choice in terms of overall value. The packages available are:

4. VyprVPN

A good mix of speed and security

Number of servers: 700+ | Server locations: 70+ | IP addresses: 200,000+ | Maximum devices supported: 3

Well optimised app
Speedy performance
Some logging (connection times, IPs)
No refunds

[Save 40%] Until July 31st 2018, get 40% off VyprVPN’s annual plans, just in time to boost up your coverage of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. VyprVPN is a fast, highly secure VPN without third parties, all for as little as $36.00 for the first year. Get VyprVPN here

(25% Off) Exclusive VyprVPN Deal: TechRadar readers get 25% off VyprVPN annual plans ($45 USD for 1 year). VyprVPN is a fast, highly secure VPN without third parties. Get VyprVPN here  

This Switzerland-based VPN provider offers a very sound Android VPN service. There’s a dedicated app that is extremely well optimized, and the service offers multiple protocols including OpenVPN, L2TP/IPsec, PPTP and Chameleon, the latter being the firm’s own tailored solution.

There are some potential issues with privacy, however, as the company keeps some logs in the form of connection times and IP addresses. Performance is impressive overall, and we saw some particularly good download speeds with the service.

VyprVPN offers two price plans with monthly and annual billing. Still, the service is not for those on a strict budget as its monthly billing is a tad pricier than most others.

The Basic plan supports three simultaneous connections and comes without all the goodies, so the Premium plan offers the most bang for your buck (with five simultaneous connections, the Chameleon protocol and more). Be aware that there are no refunds offered here, so use the 3-day free trial to the max. The packages available are:

5. TunnelBear

Best VPN for beginners

Number of servers: N/A | Server locations: 20+ | IP addresses: N/A | Maximum devices supported: 5

Simple and user-friendly
Free 500MB plan
A bit slow over longer distances
Only two commercial plans

TunnelBear is the go-to option for VPN newbies who want to protect their Android device. The native client is designed to be as simple as possible but still manages to incorporate a decent amount of features, including a GhostBear option that attempts to hide the fact that you’re using a VPN connection (to avoid being blocked), and a kill switch (which keeps your IP concealed if the VPN drops out).

We found this VPN’s performance was speedy on shorter (local) connections, but distant locations can be a lot slower – although still usable. The provider uses 256-bit encryption by default, as well as all the usual security protocols.

TunnelBear has a free offering which allows 500MB of bandwidth per month. You can upgrade to unlimited data with two paid plans, of which the annual plan is the far more affordable and better option. The packages available are:

How to choose the best VPN for Android

There are more than enough VPNs with great Android support. Ultimately, which one you choose might come down to some smaller details or personal preferences. When determining the best VPN for Android, you need to look out for a few things.

Obviously, a dedicated Android app helps to make things as hassle-free as possible. Next, it should be user-friendly and yet offer enough options to allow for some tweaking (particularly for more experienced users).

Other considerations are tight security, and of course a privacy policy and terms of service which are easily understandable, making it clear what logs and details are kept by the provider. Supported simultaneous connections and the subsequent speeds you can achieve with the VPN are also important, but not vital in this case.

E-commerce portal Amazon has silently added monthly subscription for its premium Prime service, allowing customers to purchase Prime subscription on a monthly basis for Rs. 129. Apart from the monthly subscription, users can also choose the annual subscription by paying Rs. 999 per year.

Monthly subscription for 12 months will cost a user Rs. 1,548, which is Rs 549 more than the present annual fee of Rs. 999. While the fee for annual subscription has been Rs. 999 since the beginning, Amazon had discounted it to Rs. 499 during the first year.

Since the launch of Amazon Prime in India, the company has announced Prime Videos and Prime Music, apart from the usual one-day deliveries and discounted same day delivery on certain products. Amazon recently introduced No Delivery for Prime users, allowing them to get a cashback of Rs. 15.

Currently, the monthly subscription is visible to selected people only and cannot be viewed by users who have already subscribed to Prime. Presently, the monthly subscription is available to users with credit cards and selected debit cards only and the monthly subscription has an auto-renew option. Amazon has also mentioned that it will inform users three days before the subscription is auto renewed.

Amazon had launched Prime subscription in India in July 2016 at a discounted price of Rs. 499 per year which was later doubled to Rs. 999 per year in October last year. Last year, Amazon had announced its Prime days sale in India and this sale is expected to come back worldwide on July 16 this year.
