Use a VPN to watch Australia vs USA from anywhere
If you’re travelling abroad for Australia vs the USWNT then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal when you know you'd have access back home.
But help is at hand. All you need to do to navigate those geoblocking restrictions is buy yourself a VPN (Virtual Private Network) – assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, of course.
A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is also entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, but NordVPN scores particularly highly for the Olympics:

USA vs Australia: Team News
The USWNT will once again be hoping for greatness from their front three of Sophia Smith, Mallory Swanson and Trinity Rodman, who have either scored or assisted each of the team's seven goals so far this summer.
With no real injury concerns, and qualification all but secured, Emma Hayes could use Wednesday's fixture as a chance to offer some important minutes to other squad players in order to keep them fit and ready for the later stages.
Australia retains the availability of its key players heading into the fixture, with Caitlin Foord, Mary Fowler, and Steph Catley all looking to maintain their impressive form at the club level.
The Matildas are expected to go full-strength with qualification more of an uphill task than manager Tony Gustavsson would've been hoping for prior to the start of the Olympics.
