There’s tremendous money in it, and there’s also a massive hype around it which is why you searched for how to watch college sports outside of the US. Right?
And you, of course, are outside of the US and are stuck because you can’t watch college sports. And you know that college is back and that so is the new season, of em, everything. Football, American football, basketball, hockey, swimming, and all that other good stuff. In the US, college sports are on a higher level than most professional sports in other countries. Look at basketball. College basketball generates more money than the NBA. College American Football? It has stadiums bigger than football (soccer) stadiums in Europe.
College sports are crazy in the US and no wonder why you want to watch them. And perhaps your friend, family, or partner plays a college sport, and you want to watch them. There's only one problem. If you are outside of the US, it’s very hard to watch most games as most aren’t available outside of the US which is why you are searching for how to watch college sports outside of the US.
And we have the solution for you.
The thing is that there are so many different sports and so many different universities that there is no one platform to cover them all. The biggest games? They will be covered by the TV networks. For those, DAZN might be an option which also does not work in most countries, but there is a way to bypass that limit too.
Most games though? They will be streamed and produced by the universities themselves. But yet still, a big majority of those won’t work outside of the US. It’s weird, but so are the rules of the NCAA after all. In fact, the NCAA site is currently not even available to people in Europe due to the fact NCAA did not take care of fitting with the new EU General Data Protection Regulation even though they had many years to do so.
But the most common platform for games? SportsLive which costs $10 per month. This is where you find most of the games, except not there, but on the site of the college team, you want to watch. SportsLive is merely a platform used to show these games by most colleges. For example by UCONN Huskies.
To watch college sports outside of the US, if they don’t work as it is, you need to make the platform you are going to watch think that you are in the US. How do you do that? It’s simple.
With a VPN.
A VPN is a virtual private network that allows you to change locations without physically changing locations.
How do you get a VPN? With PrivateVPN, the registration is pretty simple. It takes less than 30 seconds. Well, maybe slightly longer if you aren’t sure about what password you want to use.
The thing is that it’s hard to know whether your location will matter as there are just so many universities and colleges out there that it’s hard to tell and impossible to test. With UCONN Huskies, for instance, it’s the Huskies site that doesn’t work outside of the US. And since the streaming of the match is on the same site, it’s impossible to watch the match until you change your location to be in the US. And PrivateVPN has a dozen American servers. Will all of them work? Possibly not. But most will.
Watching college sports outside of the US is not hard. It merely required some knowledge that you might have lacked prior. Now you have that knowledge, and perhaps because of us, you can watch your boyfriend, girlfriend, friend, or family member play. And when there’s a significant distance separating you, that makes all the difference.
