How to watch US college sports abroad

If you live outside the US, we show the legal way to watch where a conference or service sells one to viewers abroad. If you're an American traveling with a US subscription you already pay for, we show what that service's own terms say about watching abroad and using a VPN.

How it works

  1. Pick your sport and conference. Each conference has its own streaming deal, so that's where the answer starts.
  2. See whether there's a legal way to watch from outside the US, and what it costs. Where a conference or service sells one to viewers abroad, we list it first, with the price.
  3. If there isn't, read the rules for travelers. What your US service's terms say about watching abroad and about VPNs, before you rely on one.

Two ways to watch

You don't have a US subscription

Use the legal option sold to viewers outside the US, where the conference or service offers one. Each guide lists it first, with the price.

You already pay for a US service and are traveling

Read what your service's own rules say about watching abroad before anything else. Each guide then has a VPN options section.

When a VPN helps, and when it doesn't

It can help when you are abroad for a while and want the US subscription you already pay for to work on your phone, laptop or a streaming stick. A VPN connects you through a server in the US, so the app sees a US connection.

It always helps on hotel, airport and café Wi-Fi, where it encrypts your traffic so other people on the network can't see it.

It won't help if you don't have a subscription, and it is not a way around blackouts or prices. Services can also block VPN connections, and some don't allow them at all.

Guides

How we test

Every test result comes from the site owner, from outside the US without a VPN, and every fact about prices and coverage from the conference's or service's own page, with a link and a date.

  • Tested from outside the USThe site owner runs every test from outside the US, without a VPN. On services we subscribe to (currently FloSports) we watch live games. Elsewhere we check the site, sign-up and, where reached, checkout, and stop before paying, so we don't claim a stream plays.
  • What we noteWe note whether the site loads, whether sign-up is reachable, the exact message if blocked, and whether a local card is accepted. Availability can differ by country. We don't copy speed numbers or publish unearned ratings, and we show no result until we've tested.
  • Official sources onlyFacts about prices, plans and which service carries which games come from the conferences' and services' own pages, with a link and the date we checked.
