With the new La Liga season not due to start until 12th August, the Super Cup will be Real Madrid's first competitive game since winning their 14th Champions League title in Paris at the end of May. Carlo Ancelotti's side had a mixed pre-season, losing 1-0 to Barcelona in Las Vegas, drawing 2-2 with Club América in San Francisco, and beating Juventus 2-0 in LA, so it'll be a good opportunity to see what the Spanish champions are all about. 

Ancelotti has picked the same side that overcame Juve in California and it's a team that has a very familiar look to it. There's no place for summer signing Antonio Rüdiger at the back, with Alaba and Militão preferred in defence, while Modric, Casemiro and Kroos all start in midfield. Benzema continues up top with Vini Jr. and Fede Valverde either side of him. 

Eintracht Frankfurt are well ahead of their opponents in terms of match fitness, but have also had mixed fortunes so far. A 4-0 thrashing of Magdeburg in the DFB-Pokal on 1st August was followed by a 6-1 home defeat by Bayern Munich in their opening Bundesliga game on Friday evening. Head coach Oliver Glasner will be hoping his side's fierce counter-attacking style will be able to catch the out-of-practice Spaniards off guard.

Glasner had made two changes to the side that were so comprehensively beaten by Bayern, with Christopher Lenz in for Filip Kostić who's on the verge of joining Juventus, and Daichi Kamada replacing World Cup winner Mario Götze who drops to the bench. 

It's an 8pm GMT kick-off at the Helsinki Olympic Stadium today, Wednesday 10th August 2022. Read on for more details on how to watch a Real Madrid vs Eintracht Frankfurt live stream for the 2022 UEFA Super Cup, wherever you are in the world.

Watch a Real Madrid vs Eintracht Frankfurt live stream from abroad using a VPN

Even if you have subscribed to the relevant Real Madrid vs Eintracht Frankfurt live stream rights holders, you won't be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are a doddle to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.

There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30 days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.

How to use a VPN for Real Madrid vs Eintracht Frankfurt

Using a VPN is incredibly simple: 

1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.

3. Then head over to Paramount Plus on your browser or device and enjoy the Real Madrid vs Eintracht Frankfurt live stream.

If, for whatever reason, you can't get it working, then do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN. You could also try NordVPN, which also comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, and Surfshark which offers 24 hour assistance.
