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.
Top sports to stream
ExpressVPN has you covered with the top sports to stream each week! Here’s what events have caught our eye for the week of December 2:
Soccer: Premier League (December 4 & 7, Prime Video / NOW): EPL fans are in for a treat with two blockbuster matches this week. Arsenal hosts Manchester United at the Emirates (December 4), with the Gunners looking to maintain their strong home form against the Red Devils, with new head coach Ruben Amorim looking to hit the ground running. Meanwhile, the Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park sees Everton aiming to climb the table against a Liverpool team keen to keep its place at the top of the Premier League under new manager Arne Slot (December 7).
Formula 1: Abu Dhabi Grand Prix (December 6–8, Sky Sports F1): The F1 season reaches its climax at the Yas Marina Circuit. Red Bull’s Max Verstappen aims to cap off his championship-winning season with another victory following Qatar. At the same time, McLaren seeks to challenge for the Constructor’s Championship, leading Ferrari by just 21 points. Look out for Australian rookie Jack Doohan’s debut for Alpine, replacing Esteban Ocon, who departs to join Haas. This will also be Lewis Hamilton’s swansong for Mercedes before taking a seat at Ferrari next season.
Cricket: New Zealand vs. England, 2nd Test (December 6–10, TVNZ+ / NOW): England, fresh off an eight-wicket triumph in the first Test, heads to Wellington to seal the series. Brydon Carse and debutant Jacob Bethell’s exceptional form (the latter hit 50 runs off 37 balls) with the bat will be key. The home side will rely on Kane Williamson (who became the first Kiwi to reach the 9,000 Test runs milestone in the 1st Test) to steady the ship as they aim to bounce back and level the series.
NBA: Key Matchups This Week (December 2–8, NBA League Pass International / Fubo): The NBA season intensifies with several high-stakes games. On Monday, the Boston Celtics host the Miami Heat, aiming to assert dominance in the Eastern Conference. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers face the Minnesota Timberwolves, with LeBron James leading the charge against Ant-Man and the T-Wolves. Later in the week, Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors take on Nikola Jokić (already an MVP candidate) and the Denver Nuggets.
