How to watch UEFA Nations League live online from anywhere
Traveling abroad and want to be able to watch the UEFA Nations League live online? By using a VPN, you’ll be able to live stream Nations League matches from anywhere. Read on to find out how!
The 2020–21 UEFA Nations League is set to get underway on Thursday, September 3, with 10 fixtures kicking off at 7:45 PM BST (2:45 PM EST / 11:45 AM PST). If you’re traveling abroad, you’ll need to connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to watch the UEFA Nations League live online. That’s because matches are subject to copyright and licensing restrictions, which means they’re region-locked as a result.
We’ll only be recommending official sources for watching the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League. As is usually the case with popular sporting events, there will be unlicensed streams. However, these are likely to be low-resolution and with excessive lag. What’s more, unauthorized streams are often taken offline for copyright infringement. To avoid missing out on UEFA Nations League matches, we recommend you stick with the official sources listed.
Some UEFA Nations League matches will only be shown on region-locked platforms. To continue watching via your usual home streaming services while abroad, you’ll need a VPN.
How to watch UEFA Nations League live online with a VPN
A VPN lets you spoof your location which means you can easily access geo-blocked content from anywhere. They do this by encrypting your internet traffic and providing you with a different IP address, which tricks region-locked services into letting you use them abroad. For example, if you connect to a server in the UK, you receive a UK IP address while connecting to a US server gets you a US IP address.
Here’s how to live stream the UEFA Nations League from anywhere with a VPN:
- Sign up with a reputable VPN service. We recommend ExpressVPN. However, NordVPN and Surfshark also offer reliable unblocking and good value for money.
- Download one of the VPN’s apps or browser extensions for the device on which you plan to watch UEFA Nations League matches.
- Open the VPN app and connect to a server in the country of the service you’re trying to watch. For example, a server in the UK to watch Sky Sports abroad.
- Sign in to whichever TV platform or streaming service you’d like to use (or sign up for an account if you don’t have one already).
- Content should now be unblocked. If not, try clearing your browser’s cookies or connecting to another server. Alternatively, contact your VPN’s customer support.
UEFA Nations League games will broadcast live. For this reason, we recommend you test your VPN with your chosen platform ahead of time. That way, you can identify any potential issues and troubleshoot them with your VPN’s support in advance.
