How to Watch SHL Outside of Sweden

SHL? It’s one of the best hockey leagues in the world. After all, you can get drafted into the NHL, directly from it. Something that isn’t often heard of. But while it’s one of the best, it isn’t shown nearly as much as the SHL. That’s where this guide comes in.

What’s Needed to Watch SHL Outside of Sweden

There are two ways to go about it.

One way will allow you to use the service for free, in English, and the other, it will allow you to watch it in Swedish, at a cost.

The first method? It’s on a platform called Freesports.tv which is part of a British TV network. As the name suggests, it’s free.

The second method? It’s on C More. A Swedish platform, in Swedish.

The catch with both?

That Freesports.tv only works in the UK and C More in Sweden.

Unblocking Freesports.tv Outside of the UK

Freesports is a free platform thus isn’t as complicated to unblock.

You need to make yourself look like you are in the UK and that’s pretty much it.

...For that, you need a VPN. VPN services? They allow you to unblock services like Freesports.tv by changing your location to be somewhere else, like in this case, to be in the UK.

The catch? That Freesports.tv doesn’t have the right to show all the content it shows outside of the UK, thus it has to make efforts to prevent people from watching, and thus a lot of VPN services don’t work with entertainment platforms like Freesports.tv.

...And that’s where PrivateVPN comes in as a service with a focus on entertainment. 

1. Sign up for a PrivateVPN account.
2. Download the app.
3. Connect to a UK server.

How to Watch SHL on C More Outside of Sweden

There are two steps to watching C More outside of Sweden.

1. Look like you are in Sweden.
2. Create an account by using the right payment trick (if you don’t already have an account) to bypass card payment blocks.

When it comes to looking like you are in Sweden, that’s once again where VPN services come in. 

And PrivateVPN itself is a Swedish company, and thus naturally works with Swedish services like C More or TV4 Play.

1. Sign up for a PrivateVPN account.
2. Download the app.
3. Connect to a Swedish server.

...If you already have a C More account, that’s it.

...But if you need one, we will go over how to create one now.⬇️⬇️⬇️

How to Sign up For C More Outside of Sweden to Watch SHL

There is a super simple trick to bypass card payment blocks.

It’s to sign up via the app on your mobile phone.

Why?

As while C More has blocks on its website, on mobile devices, it’s both Apple and Google that take care of payments, and they do not have such payment blocks.

How to Change Your App Store Region on Apple Devices

1. Sign out of your iCloud account, followed by creating a new one with your location set to be in Sweden.
2. Download the C More app.
3. While connected to a Swedish VPN server, open the C More app, and create an account.

How to Change Your App Store Region on Android Devices

1. Connect to a Swedish VPN server.
2. Open up your Google Play Store.
3. Press on the 3 bars on the top-left of the screen, and then click on Account.
4. You will see an option to change your region to be in Sweden. Do it and update your information.
5. Go back to Account and confirm the change to Sweden.
6. Restart your Play Store.
7. Lastly, download and sign up for C More from the app.

That’s How to Watch SHL Outside of Sweden

Want to watch more than just SHL? Both C more and Freesports.tv provide a lot of other content, but the great thing about PrivateVPN is that you can unblock much more content with it, whether that’s football-filled Canadian DAZN or ESPN+.
