Using a VPN to Access International Streams

Fans traveling or looking to expand viewing options can use a virtual private network (VPN) to bypass geo-restrictions on international streaming services. While international options like Sky Sports in the UK, Stan in Australia, and Canal+ in France require paid subscriptions, select matches air for free on CazéTV, allowing users to employ a location-spoofing VPN like ExpressVPN to connect to a server in Brazil and watch live.

Additionally, pairing an HBO Max subscription with a VPN to connect to a UK server can unlock TNT Sports broadcasts, which will air 52 games this season.
