How to Watch ESPN+ Outside of the US in 2021

Looking to watch ESPN+ outside of the US in 2021? Just as is the case with many other American services, ESPN is not currently available outside of the US, and most likely never will be.

Does that mean that you can’t watch it? No. You can, and there’s a way to it that we will share in this guide.

Before we get into that, let’s talk about it’s not currently possible to watch ESPN+ Outside of the US in 2021. 

Why You Can’t Watch ESPN+ Outside of the US in 2021

...As even though ESPN is available around the world, ESPN+ is a streaming service with a focus on the US.

...Meaning it brings the likes of the UFC and that it brings many many other sports that ESPN doesn’t show outside of the US.

When it comes to rights to this content, ESPN+ only has the rights to show it in the US.

...And when a streaming platform can’t show something, it needs to make efforts to prevent people from watching, hence you are here reading this guide.

Steps to Watch ESPN+ Outside of the US in 2021

  1. Make it look like you are in the US.
  2. Create an ESPN+ account bypassing ESPN’s card blocks

How to Make ESPN+ Think You Are in the US to Watch Outside of the US

To watch ESPN+, you need to make ESPN+ think that you are in the US.

That requires changing your location virtually.

...For that, you need a VPN.

VPN services allow you to change your location to be somewhere else.

...But there’s also a catch.

They don’t always work with everything because services like ESPN+ also need to make efforts against VPN services.

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

  2. Download the PrivateVPN app.
  3. Connect to the US server.

Creating an ESPN+ Account to Watch ESPN+ Outside of the US

ESPN+ like many other streaming platforms have card payment blocks to prevent people from outside of the US from signing up.

There’s a simple trick to solve this issue.

...If you sign up on your phone, you won’t have to deal with ESPN’s payment blocks, because it’s both Apple and Google that take care of payments on mobile devices, provided you are using an app.

Connect to a US server, download the ESPN app which is available worldwide, and try to register for ESPN+.

...If that doesn’t work, then you will also need to change the location of your app store to be in the US.
