If you watch DAZN in Nederland, you will save a lot, while getting access to the elite of football and of many other sports. The issue? DAZN isn’t available in Nederland. It soon will, and when it is, it will make the steps in this guide slightly simpler, but even then it won’t contain all the sporting content you will want to watch, which is where this guide comes in.
...But before we talk over the steps and which DAZN region is best to have, let’s talk about why DAZN in Nederland is currently not a thing.
The Premier League? It costs hundreds of millions to get the rights to stream it.
The platform that then has those rights to show the Premier League in the likes of Nederland, wants to make money back on the money it paid, by getting you to watch.
...If that doesn’t happy, and someone watches on the likes of DAZN, DAZN can get in trouble with that company.
That’s why it has to make efforts to prevent people from watching, in regions it doesn’t have the rights to show content in.
...But like mentioned at the start, DAZN is planning to launch in Nederland and it is going to launch But other companies already have licenses to content and until those run-out, DAZN can’t do anything, and if it does launch in Nederland, a lot of content won’t be available on it.
One would assume that the US is the best place to be in to watch DAZN. WRONG.
DAZN US is primarily limited to boxing. DAZN Canada on the other hand, shows you the Champions League, Premier League, and much more, being the most content-packed streaming platform out there.
The steps?
To make DAZN think you are in the right region so it doesn’t show you that DAZN is not available in your region, you need to switch your location virtually.
How do you do that?
By using a VPN.
By connecting to a Canadian VPN server you can look like you are in Canada. By connecting to an US or Italian server, you can look like you are in either of these and so on.
The catch?
That DAZN also makes efforts against VPN services, meaning most VPN services are not able to unblock DAZN.
...And that’s where PrivateVPN comes in as a service with a focus on entertainment and quality meaning fewer servers than of others on paper, but in reality, support for more entertainment platforms.
...As far as tricking DAZN, that’s it. And if you already have a DAZN account, you can pretty much leave this guide.
...But if you don’t yet have a DAZN account, that’s where it gets a little bit tricky, and we’ll go over it now.
To sign up for a DAZN Canada account, you will need a Canadian card. To sign up for a DAZN Italia account, you will need an Italian card. And so on.
Not ideal, huh?
The best solution? It’s to sign up for DAZN via your phone or tablet.
...For a very simple reason.
DAZN? It has card blocks on their website.
...But if you are using the DAZN app, those do not apply because it’s Hulu and Apple taking care of the signups, and they do not enforce such blocks.
The only catch? You need to change the region of your app store so that it’s in one of the DAZN regions.
That’s where it gets complicated.
It’s not simple because most smart TVs and smart TV platforms such as Apple TV, Chromecast, and Roku do not support VPN services.
Two best solutions?
Amazon Fire TV Stick is one of the only platforms that support VPN services and is the most comfortable way to watch DAZN.
...But you will need to change the region of your Amazon account to download the app.
If you just ordered a Fire TV, simply sign up for an account in a location that supports DAZN.
But if you already have an Amazon Fire TV Stick and don’t have an American account then:
That’s also how to watch HBO Max, CBS, and much more in Nederland.
To sum up how to watch DAZN in Nederland:
