Julian Nagelsmann’s underperforming Germany face a tough task at the Red Bull Arena as they take on Slovakia in this delicately poised shoot-out for an automatic spot in next summer’s World Cup.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if the match isn’t available where you are.
Germany comes into this game off the back of an unconvincing 2-0 win against European minnow Luxembourg. Currently leading Group A on goal difference, anything less than a win for the home side will be seen as unthinkable, as it looks to avoid the playoffs.
Slovakia’s narrow 1-0 win over Northern Ireland on Friday means that automatic qualification is very much in play for Francesco Calzona’s men, who are level on points with their hosts coming into this crunch match.
Germany takes on Slovakia at the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig on Monday, Nov. 17. Kickoff is set for 8:45 p.m. CET local time in Germany. That makes it a 7:45 p.m. GMT start in the UK and a 2:45 p.m. ET or 11:45 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada. For viewers in Australia, the game gets underway at 6:45 a.m. AEDT on Tuesday.
In-form Newcastle United striker Nick Woltemade scored both goals in Germany’s 2-0 defeat of Luxembourg on Friday.

How to watch the Germany vs. Slovakia match online from anywhere using a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the World Cup qualifier action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. Additionally, it can be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, providing an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions, ensuring you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.

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