Competing at their first-ever major tournament, the Republic of Ireland will have to cause a major shock if they hope to make it beyond the group stages in Australia and New Zealand. The Girls in Green took some confidence from their narrow loss to the Matildas but now face a side ranked seventh in the world. 

Canada, the reigning Olympic champions, were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw in their opening game against Nigeria as captain Christine Sinclair saw her penalty saved. The 40-year-old is bidding to make history at this tournament as she looks to become the first player to score at six World Cups. 

Sinclair has scored 190 goals for her country and will be determined to add to that tally as Canada look to get their campaign back on track. However, the Irish showed against Australia that they have plenty of talent and will be hoping that influential midfielder Katie McCabe can create more opportunities for forwards Kyra Carusa and the experienced Sinead Farrelly. 

With both teams seeking a first win, the Canada vs Ireland live stream should be a thrilling encounter. We’ll show you how to watch the game from anywhere down below.

How to watch Canada vs Ireland anywhere

Canada vs Ireland live streams will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Sling or another service and watch the game.
