Using a VPN to Stream From Anywhere

  • Download and install a trusted VPN app.
  • Connect to a server in the target country (for example, US or UK).
  • Clear your browser cache or refresh it to update location data.
  • Visit the broadcaster’s website or app and start watching.

Watching on Your TV

For a better viewing experience, stream the game on a big screen. Here’s how to set up VPN streaming on TVs:

  • Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android TVs and devices like Amazon Fire TV Stick support VPN apps directly. Download your VPN app from the TV’s app store and log in.
