There's no love lost between these two historic rivals
The standout fixture of Gameweek 4 of the UEFA Nations League sees old rivals Germany and the Netherlands go toe-to-toe in Munich. The result is likely to determine which team wins Group A3.
The reverse fixture in Amsterdam last month saw these two sides play out a 2-2 draw. But the Netherlands' unexpected 1-1 draw with Hungary on Friday has handed the advantage to the Germans, who claimed a tight 2-1 away win against Bosnia on Friday to open up a slender 2-point lead at the top of the group.
Germany host the Netherlands at the Allianz Arena in Munich on Monday, Oct. 14. Kickoff is set for 8:45 p.m. CEST local time in Belgium. That makes it a 7:45 p.m. BST start in the UK, which is 2:45 p.m. ET or 11:45 a.m. PT in the US and Canada and 5:45 a.m. AEDT on Tuesday, Oct. 15 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.
Germany vs. Netherlands Live Stream: How to Watch
A first-half brace from Deniz Undav was enough for Germany to claim a 2-1 win away against Bosnia-Herzegovina last Friday.
Today's game is on Fubo Sports Network, the streaming platform's dedicated sports service.
There's a lot to like about Fubo. In addition to it's own Fubo Sports Network, it offers a wide selection of channels, plus its sports focus makes it especially attractive to soccer fans, as well as NBA, NHL and MLB fans who live in an area served by one of Fubo's RSNs. It's also a great choice for NFL fans, since it's one of three services, alongside YouTube TV and Hulu, that offer NFL Network and optional RedZone. The biggest hole in Fubo's lineup is the lack of Warner Bros. Discovery networks, including HGTV, Food Network, Cartoon Network, CNN, TNT and TBS -- especially since the latter two carry a lot of sports content, in particular NBA, NHL and MLB. Those missing channels, and the $80 price tag, makes it less attractive than YouTube TV for most viewers. Read our Fubo review.
Using a VPN to Watch Germany vs. Netherlands Live Stream
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.
ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It's normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you'll get three months free and save 49%. That's the equivalent of $6.67 a month with code SPECIALDEAL, which should be automatically applied.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

The Netherlands took the lead inside two minutes when these two met in Amsterdam last month, which set the tone for what was an entertaining clash that perhaps lacked a little quality. They could've extended their lead through Xavi Simons, who shot straight at Ter Stegen when one-on-one, a miss the RB Leipzig player would come to regret when Denis Undav equalised for Germany on his first start.
It was Germany that took the lead in first-half stoppage time through Joshua Kimmich, but whatever Ronald Koeman said to his charges at the break seemed to work, as Denzel Dumfries drew the home side level just six minutes into the second half. That was how it ended, with both sides missing chances to win it, leaving us with a mouthwatering return meeting here in Bavaria.
