You can stream the Costa Rica vs Suriname Gold Cup match for free on Teletica in Costa Rica or ABC Suriname in Suriname.

Here’s how you can watch:

1. Pick a VPN with servers in Costa Rica or Suriname. I recommend NordVPN, as it’s reliable with a wide server network.

3. Connect to a server in the country of the stream. Choose Costa Rica for Teletica or Suriname for ABC. To access the free YouTube stream, connect from a non-participating country, such as the UK, Germany, or Spain.

Free CONCACAF Gold Cup Costa Rica vs Suriname streams

All CONCACAF Gold Cup matches are streamed live and free in English on the official CONCACAF YouTube channel.

However, YouTube streams are geo-blocked in countries where rights have been sold, like the US (FOX, TUDN) and Canada (OneSoccer). In those regions, you'll see an error message when trying to load the video.

To bypass these geo-restrictions, you can use a VPN. Connect to a server in a country outside the CONCACAF Gold Cup participating region, such as the UK, Germany, or Spain, and then reload the stream.
