How a VPN helps sports fans
Wherever you are, a VPN is essential for sports streaming.
If you’re traveling, whether overseas or just to a different TV market, connect to a VPN to access your favorite sports channels securely on any network. ExpressVPN sends your traffic through a private and encrypted tunnel, allowing you to watch every game securely and keep your data safe from prying eyes while abroad.
If you’re watching at home, use a VPN to bypass ISP throttling. ExpressVPN makes your internet traffic more anonymous, so your ISP can’t identify and slow down your streams. The easiest way to enjoy VPN protection at home is with ExpressVPN’s Aircove routers. All your devices get VPN benefits instantly just by joining your Wi-Fi network—smart TVs and streaming sticks included.
Whether you’re looking to stream football, tennis, boxing, or any other event, you can catch every second of the action with a VPN. Score!
Can I use a VPN to watch live sports on streaming services from another country?
ExpressVPN is a privacy and security service and should not be used as a means of copyright circumvention. We cannot see or control what you do while connected to our VPN, so you are responsible for complying with our Terms of Service, your content provider’s terms, and any applicable laws.
