Things don't get any easier for winless Scotland as they take on Group A1 leaders Portugal in this crucial UEFA Nations League match at Hampden Park today.
Despite taking an early lead with a first-half Ryan Christie strike, Scotland crashed to a 2-1 defeat away to Croatia on Saturday -- a result that puts them in grave danger of being relegated to the second tier of this competition.
Portugal, meanwhile, are cruising to a place in the quarterfinals with three wins from three games. Their latest was a 3-1 triumph over Poland at the weekend, in a match that saw Bernardo Silva and Cristiano Ronaldo both get on the scoresheet.
Scotland host Portugal at Hampden Park in Glasgow on Tuesday, Oct. 15. Kickoff is set for 7:45 p.m. BST local time in Scotland. That makes it a 2:45 p.m. ET or 11:45 a.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 5:45 a.m. AEDT on Wednesday, Oct. 16 in Australia.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.

If you find yourself unable to view this Nations League fixture locally, you may need a different way to watch the match -- that's where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it's also a great idea if you're traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you're able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you're streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.
