While some Bundesliga matches may be televised on ESPN or ESPN2, most of them–such as this one–are only on ESPN+ in the United States.

ESPN+ will run you $11 per month by itself or $15 per month for a bundle of ESPN+, Hulu and Disney+. Or, you can save by getting ESPN+ for a year for $110. That comes out to just over $9 per month, or if you want to look at it another way, you’re basically getting two months free by paying in advance. With ESPN+ you’ll get every Bundesliga match, as well as a slew of other live sports and on-demand content, so it’s tremendous value no matter what option you go with.

One of the primary functions of a virtual private (VPN) is to hide your IP address/location. This has many benefits, such as providing you with safety and privacy while online. But it can also allow you to access content from other countries that would normally be location-restricted or geo-locked. That last part, of course, is helpful here if you’re abroad and trying to use ESPN+, which is restricted to US-only.

But if you want to go with one of the best without thinking too much, NordVPN is a top-tier option.
