Rams vs. Bears at Soldier Field — free livestream available on TVNZ+

The Los Angeles Rams play the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Jan. 18 at 6:30 p.m. ET, and Mashable says the matchup can be streamed live for free on TVNZ+.

The article notes the Bears advanced after a comeback win over Green Bay in the Wild Card Round — their first playoff victory in 16 years — and are enjoying their first winning season since 2019. The Rams edged past the Panthers last weekend and have one more regular-season win than the Bears, leaving the teams fairly even on paper. The winner will face the San Francisco 49ers or Seattle Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game.

Mashable explains TVNZ+ is geo-restricted to New Zealand but can be accessed from elsewhere by using a VPN. The piece lists the basic steps: subscribe to a streaming-friendly VPN (it cites ExpressVPN as an example), install the app on your device, connect to a server in New Zealand, register with TVNZ+, and then stream the game.

The article recommends ExpressVPN as the best option for bypassing geo-restrictions, citing features such as servers in 105 countries, apps for major devices, a strict no-logging policy, fast speeds, up to 10 simultaneous connections and a 30-day money-back guarantee. It also notes VPN services typically require a subscription but often offer free trials or money-back guarantees that can be used as short-term access to watch the game.
