LSU blasted its way to the final of the College World Series with a walk-off home run in extra innings to defeat top-seeded Wake Forest. The LSU Tigers will take on a well-rested Florida Gators team that advanced to the final by winning all three of its tournament games. Oddly, it will be the first meeting this year between these two SEC teams, who didn’t play each other in the regular season and missed each other in the SEC tournament. The matchup is also a replay of the 2017 CWS final, in which Florida swept LSU. The first game of the best-of-three final is set for Saturday at 7 p.m. ET (4 p.m. PT) on ESPN.

You can watch the final of College World Series with a live TV streaming service. And you can stream every remaining game live on ESPN Plus. Below we outline the best options, whether you live in the US or elsewhere in the world.

How to watch the College World Series from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the College World Series locally, you may need a different way to watch the games — 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 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 tournament. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, nonblackout area. 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.
