Watch Dubai 7s live streams FOR FREE around the world
Dubai 7s live streams will be available FOR FREE in many countries that don’t have a specific broadcast deal for the tournament via World Rugby’s RugbyPass TV service. All you need to do to enjoy the match is visit the website and enter your email address to open an account.
You can watch on your computer or mobile device via the website, or download the RugbyPass TV app for iOS or Android. (The app supports both Chromecast and Airplay, so you can watch the game on your TV.)
Away from home right now? You can use a VPN to watch the Dubai 7s through your usual TV service from overseas – find out more below.
Watch Dubai 7s from abroad
Away from home for work or a vacation on Sunday? That doesn’t mean you have to miss out on a packed weekend of sevens action. Fans who are travelling overseas can watch their usual service with the help of a VPN.
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a handy piece of software that allows you to change your device’s IP address. This means you can view live or on-demand TV content as if you were sitting at home in front of your own television, even when you’re abroad – provided it complies with your service’s T&Cs, of course.
The technology experts from TechRadar love NordVPN for its strong privacy features, ease of use, and the fact it allows you to watch your favourite TV on multiple devices simultaneously. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support, and it’s currently available at a knockdown price.
