Looking for a Wales v Ukraine live stream? We've got you covered with our handy guide.
A place at the World Cup is the prize for the winner of Wales’ play-off final clash with Ukraine in Cardiff on Sunday.
The game will also be of great interest to England fans, as the winner will join the Three Lions, USA and Iran in Group B at the end of the year.
Ukraine put in a confident, cohesive performance to knock out Scotland at Hampden Park in the play-off semi-final on Wednesday, winning 3-1.
That was despite many of their players having not played competitive football for months due to Russia’s invasion of their country.
Ukraine’s inspired performance may well have alarmed Welsh watchers, who saw their side fall to a 2-1 friendly defeat to Poland in their final preparation game.
Wales knocked Austria out in the other play-off semi-final back in March, but have had to wait to discover their fate after the war in Ukraine led to a postponement.
It would be a remarkable, heartwarming story if Ukraine were to make it through to Qatar 2022.
Wales fans, meanwhile, are hoping to reach the World Cup for the first time since 1958 and only the second time in their history.
Home advantage could be crucial for Robert Page’s side, who have a very strong recent record at the Cardiff City Stadium.
Wales have lost just once at home since November 2018, a run of 20 games in which they’ve won 12 and drawn seven.
Kick-off is at 5.00pm BST on Sunday 5 June, and the game is being broadcast live by ITV, S4C, STV, Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football. See below for international broadcast options.
VPN guide
Use a VPN to watch World Cup football from outside your country
If you’re out of the country for a round of Premier League fixtures, then annoyingly your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows where you are because of your IP address (boo!). You'll be blocked from watching it, which is not ideal if you’ve paid up for a subscription and still want to catch the action without resorting to illegal feeds you’ve found on Reddit.
But assistance is on hand. To get around that, all you have to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN), assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and t'internet, meaning the service can’t work out where you are and won't automatically block the service you've paid for. All the info going between is entirely encrypted – and that's a result.
There are plenty of good-value options out there, including:
ExpressVPN including a 30-day, money-back guarantee
FourFourTwo’s brainy office mates TechRadar love its super speedy connections, trustworthy security and the fact it works with Android, Apple, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PS4 and loads more. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support and it's currently available for a knockdown price. Go get it!
NordVPN with quality mobile and desktop apps
A cheaper option and almost ExpressVPN's equal when it comes to quality, too. A single subscription covers six connections, so you can use it on mobile, laptop, streaming devices and more, all at the same time.
Surfshark offers a great VPN at a fraction of the price
It's clear to see why Surfshark is top of TechRadar's best cheap VPN table – it combines an excellent product with bargain pricing, starting at £2/$2.50 a month!
