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 and keeping 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.
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.
Top sports to stream

NCAA College Basketball: March Madness (March 25 [Women’s Round of 32]; March 28-31 [Men’s and Women’s]): How can you beat March Madness? The first weekend of play featured all the thrilling finishes, shocking upsets (including Yale over Auburn and Oakland‘s triumph over Kentucky), and busted brackets we’ve come to love over the years. Only 16 teams, including all four No. 1 seeds, remain alive on the men’s side. Caitlin Clark and Iowa headline the women’s teams looking to advance to the Sweet 16.
MLB: Opening Day (March 28, times vary, MLB.TV / YouTube TV / Fubo): Baseball is back! Although the 2024 season technically kicked off in Seoul last week, the action truly starts with a complete 15-game (weather pending) slate Thursday. Dodgers superstar Shohei Ohtani makes his home debut at Chavez Ravine against Nolan Arenado‘s Cardinals, while Aaron Judge and the revamped—and already injury-battered—Yankees face the rival Astros in Houston. Check out our MLB page for a complete list of nationally-televised games to watch.
Rugby: Women’s Six Nations (March 30-31, times vary, BBC / France TV / RTÉ / ITV): Marlie Packer and England began their quest of a sixth consecutive Women’s Six Nations title with a rout of Italy.
