Want to watch the NFL in Ireland? It’s no secret that Ireland doesn’t have the best sports streaming options, and when it comes to online streaming of the NFL, the options are almost non-existent.
...But then again, that is not that surprising considering it’s hard to watch the NFL across Europe as a whole.
In this guide, we share the 4 streaming services that will allow you to watch the NFL in Ireland and how to unblock them, as none of them are available in Ireland or Europe.
The great thing about the likes of DAZN Canada or CBS? That they allow you to unblock many other sporting events such as the Premier League or the Champions League, at a great price.
Hulu Live TV, on the other hand? It’s a little bit more pricey.
Unblocking these platforms? It’s not hard, but there are two specific steps that need to be completed to make these platforms work so that you can then watch the NFL in Ireland.
We’ll now show you the most effective way to complete these 2 steps, right now.
The second you enter any of these platforms, they will know you are in Ireland, and won’t let you in.
The solution?
Make these services think you are in the right region.
And you do that by changing your location virtually, with a help of VPN services.
What’s a VPN service? It’s a way for you to change your location around the world, with just a few clicks. And they are used for all kinds of reasons, whether it’s safety on the internet, privacy, or like in this case, to unblock entertainment.
...But it’s not as simple as getting any VPN service and connecting to a US or Canadian server.
These platforms are aware of VPN services, and they need to make efforts to prevent them from working.
If they don’t, they will get in trouble for showing you content they don’t have the rights to show you.
And this is where PrivateVPN comes in as a service with a focus on fewer servers, but with a focus on making things like the NFL work.
Done that? To watch NFL in Ireland, you of course, also need an account.
All of the streaming services for NFL have one major issue.
They all have a measure in place to prevent you from signing up without a card issued in the country where the service is available.
And that’s a big problem.
...That we have a solution for.
You need to sign up for any of these services from the mobile app on your phone or tablet.
Why? As both Apple and Google have their own payment platforms that don’t consist of the blocks that these services otherwise have on their websites.
But to sign up via your phone, you first need to change the region of your store, since, the apps will not be available in your Irish app store.
That’s how simple it is.
Of course, you need your VPN on, for this to work.
Can you log back into your older account after you do this? Of course, you can.
IMPORTANT: Don’t just change the region of your app store. If you do that, you will lose everything. That’s why it’s important to create a new account.
NFL games can be quite long, and even without that, sports are often best watched on a TV.
...But it’s not quite as simple to watch NFL on a TV as it would seem.
With a simple reason for that being that most smart TV platforms + platforms like Apple TV, Chromecast, and Roku, don’t support VPN services.
That’s where these 2 great solutions come in:
The Fire TV Stick? If you just ordered one, choose for your region to be in the US/Canada.
...If you already have one, change your region to be in the US.
Here’s how to do it⬇️:
And yes, it’s best to do this when connected to a VPN.
The best thing about this guide? That this is also how you unblock the Premier League and Champions League with DAZN and CBS. Or how you also get UFC with ESPN+.
But you can find that out when you sign up for PrivateVPN’s 7-day trial with no need for a card.
