The CONCACAF Nations League semifinals get underway on Thursday, as defending champs USA take on Jamaica at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. 

Gregg Berhalter will be expecting an improvement from his side after two defeats on the bounce as they look to find form ahead of this summer's Copa America. 

The Reggae Boyz, meanwhile, have suffered just two defeats in their last 14 matches, and set up this tie after drawing with Canada 4-4 in their quarterfinal but going through on away goals.

The prize for today's winner is a Sunday showdown against the victors of the other last-four clash clash between Panama and Mexico.

Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.

USA vs. Jamaica: When and where?

The USA take on Jamaica in this CONCACAF Nations League semifinal at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, on Thursday, March 21. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. ET and 4 p.m. PT -- that's 11 p.m. GMT in the UK on Thursday night and 10 a.m. AEDT in Australia on Friday morning.

How to watch the USA vs. Jamaica game online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game -- 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.

Quick tips for streaming the CONCACAF Nations League using a VPN 

  • With four variables at play -- your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN -- your experience and success when streaming CONCACAF Nations League matches may vary.
  • If you don't see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the "search for city or country" option.
  • If you're having trouble getting the game after you've turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs -- like Roku -- don't have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you're using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
  • All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network's sports app, you'll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location. 
  • And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you're using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
