After a lengthy and surprising College Football Playoff, the National Championship has finally arrived. We've gathered everything you need to know about where to watch Miami vs. Indiana, including live streaming options for those without cable.
It doesn't get much more enticing than this. The No. 10 Miami Hurricanes have snuck up on their competition throughout the duration of the CFP, eliminating No. 7 Texas A&M, No. 2 Ohio State (the reigning champions), and No. 6 Ole Miss to cement their place in the National Championship. They were already on a roll after going 10-2 in the regular season, which landed them third in the ACC, but their playoff run has been unprecedented, and now they have their first shot at a national title in the CFP era.
The No. 1 Indiana Hoosiers are also looking for their first National Championship in the CFP era, and their undefeated season was capped off with a 13-0 victory over the Ohio State Buckeyes. After earning a first-round BYE, Indiana easily defeated No. 9 Alabama 38-3 in the quarterfinals and No. 5 Oregon 56-22 in the semifinals.
Both teams have proven themselves more than capable, but at the end of the night, only one will be able to lift the National Championship trophy at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. Below, we'll break down everything you need to know about streaming the game around the globe, so you won't miss out on a second of the action. And if you're hoping to go in person, make sure to check out our College Football Playoff National Championship tickets guide.

How to watch Miami vs. Indiana from anywhere
Those traveling away from home at kickoff will still be able to access their usual viewing methods with the help of a VPN, or virtual private network. VPNs are handy cybersecurity tools that enable people to change the virtual location on their electronic devices. This way, their go-to websites, apps, and services work from anywhere, just like they would back home. A VPN is also an instant way to boost online security and privacy.
