recommend “expressvpn,com” which costs around $12.95 a month and they
have stable connections/servers in all major countries. All you have to
do is follow the following instructions to watch live match via express

#2. Filmon BBC & ITV Live:
Filmon is a collection of terrestrial channels from around the world including BBC One and ITV. If you visit filmon.vom and search for BBC one you will have 24/7 live BBC one channel available. The standard version is free while you can pay a small fee for HD version.
#3. Free Online Streams for Euro 2016:
Now you have another way of accessing live action of Euro 2016 via
online free streaming links available on number of dedicated sports
stream sites. Which is a not good option and we will not recommend this.
Most of these free streams are available in flash format and they
contain hidden pop-up ads which most contain viruses and can harm your
device. More so all these streams are not stable specially during
big/high profile games where loads of pressure on servers cause
consistent lag or they are often taken down anytime during the match.
But if you are still eager and want to expose your device to viruses you
can use sites like cricfree(dot)tv,
rojadirecta(dot)eu, vipleague(dot)me, batmanstream(dot)com to watch not
only football but every sport live online for free. (not recommended)
