Watch USA v Samoa from anywhere
If you’ve tried to stream your usual streaming services while travelling abroad, you’ve probably run into the inconvenience of geo-blocking – in other words, most platforms are usually restricted to the subscriber’s home country. There is a way to take your favourite television with you, however, and it’s called a VPN.
A VPN (or Virtual Private Network) can change your IP address. This means that your device – whether it’s a laptop, smartphone or tablet – can appear to be back at home, even when you’re thousands of miles away. This allows you to watch your favourite sporting action wherever you are, making a good VPN the ideal travel companion, especially as they also improve your internet security.
There are loads of VPNs out there but the tech experts at TechRadar and Tom’s Guide reckon NordVPN is currently the best of the bunch.

“NordVPN delivers the best balance of privacy, usability, extra features, and value for money,” say Tom’s Guide, and we’re not going to argue. It unblocks all major streaming platforms, and also comes with a money-back guarantee and a big discount!
