How a VPN helps sports fans
Wherever you are, a VPN is essential for sports streaming.
If you’re traveling, whether overseas or just to a different TV market, connect to a VPN to access your favorite sports channels securely on any network. ExpressVPN sends your traffic through a private and encrypted tunnel, allowing you to watch every game securely and keep your data safe from prying eyes while abroad.
If you’re watching at home, use a VPN to bypass ISP throttling. ExpressVPN makes your internet traffic more anonymous, so your ISP can’t identify and slow down your streams. The easiest way to enjoy VPN protection at home is with ExpressVPN’s Aircove routers. All your devices get VPN benefits instantly just by joining your Wi-Fi network—smart TVs and streaming sticks included.
Whether you’re looking to stream football, tennis, boxing, or any other event, you can catch every second of the action with a VPN. Score!
Can I use a VPN to watch live sports on streaming services from another country?
ExpressVPN is a privacy and security service and should not be used as a means of copyright circumvention. We cannot see or control what you do while connected to our VPN, so you are responsible for complying with our Terms of Service, your content provider’s terms, and any applicable laws.

ExpressVPN has you covered with the top sports to stream each week! Here’s what events have caught our eye for the week of July 15:
Baseball: All-Star Break (July 15-16, 8 p.m. ET / 1 a.m. BST both nights, MLB.tv / YouTube TV / Fubo / Sportsnet): Welcome to Texas for the 2024 MLB All-Star Break! New York Mets first baseman Pete Alonso seeks his third career Home Run Derby crown on Monday night. Another prolific Big Apple slugger, Yankees captain Aaron Judge, leads the American League against Shohei Ohtani and the National League.
Cycling: Tour de France (July 16-21, times vary, SBS / RTBF / France TV / RaiPlay / FloBikes / YouTube TV / Peacock): The 2024 Tour de France draws to a close, though not before Tadej Pogačar tries holding off Remco Evenepoel and Jonas Vingegaard over the final six stages. Get ready for a thrilling finish!
Golf: British Open (July 18-21, times vary, YouTube TV / DirecTV Stream / NOW / Peacock / TSN): No golfer has won the British Open (AKA The Open) in consecutive years since Pádraig Harrington’s 2008 playoff triumph over Sergio Garcia. Brian Harman vies to end the drought and earn his second career major victory, this time at Royal Troon. And, yes, Tiger Woods is expected to play in Scotland, though he faces a long road to winning the British Open for the first time since 2006.
Formula 1: Hungarian Grand Prix (July 21, 3 p.m. local time / 9 a.m. ET / 2 p.m. BST, ORF / RTBF / YouTube TV / F1 TV Pro): If Formula 1 wanted parity this year, the league should be thrilled entering Sunday’s Hungarian Grand Prix. Six different drivers have won races this year, up from only three a season ago. Next up, we’ll see if anyone can knock off two-time defending Hungarian GP winner Max Verstappen, who remains atop the season standings.
