It’s that time of year again. College football is heating up and the NFL season is getting underway with Green Bay’s win over the Bears last night. If you’re lucky enough to be in the right region of the world. then Sunday Ticket will give you access to all the games for a reasonable price. That is unless you travel during the season or live in a country that doesn’t support live games in Gamepass. We’ve been there. You have to travel during the NFL season and hate missing your favorite team play. Or perhaps you live in a country that has limited NFL Gamepass access at a high price. Connecting to ExpressVPN is the answer. By connecting to a VPN server in Vietnam, Taiwan, or India you can sign up for NFL Gamepass for just $125. This will give you live streaming access to every game, all season long.
It really comes down to where you live. For example, in the U. S. you can subscribe to DirecTV’s Sunday Ticket but it’s very expensive. If you currently live outside the U. S. and Mexico the NFL offers Game Pass and Game Rewind. You can subscribe to Game Pass to watch NFL games live all season long. While Game Rewind will let you watch them the next day. The key is to connect to a VPN server in the right region of the world. For example, we connected to VPN servers in Vietnam, Taiwan, and India to find the best Gamepass pricing. You can enjoy every game of the NFL regular season, playoffs, and Superbowl for just $124.99.
Those who live in the U. S. and plan to travel during the season will also benefit from using a VPN service. This will allow you to securely tunnel back to a server in the U. S. where you can enjoy your favorite team while abroad through your cable or satellite subscription. For most NFL fans the international Gamepass is still the best deal though.
Streaming NFL Games with a VPN service
Personal VPN’s are meant to be easy to use. You’ll want a fast connection for streaming NFL games. There are quite a few companies out there that are good but just can’t meet the bandwidth needs. Our favorite for fast, reliable VPN access is ExpressVPN. They offer VPN servers in over 160 locations around the world.
First you’ll want to sign up for access. ExpressVPN is kindly offering our visitors unlimited VPN from just $6.67 a month which is a great value.
After you become a member, ExpressVPN will send a welcome email with your account information. From there you’ll want to visit their site and download the VPN client. ExpressVPN has free VPN apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, routers, and Amazon Fire TV devices.
Once you have the ExpressVPN client downloaded and installed go ahead and fire it up.
From here you’ll want to choose a server in Vietnam, Taiwan, or India to get the best price on NFL Gamepass. We tried all 3 server locations and ultimately recommend Vietnam since it provides the fastest connection. As you can see we were able to achieve a download speed of nearly 100 Mbps while connected to the server. Once you are connected to the ExpressVPN network you can open a web browser and go to the NFL Gamepass website. From there you will be able to sign up for the service. Once a member you can continue to connect to Vietnam to watch or use a different location like Japan or Hong Kong. Test and see which servers provide the best speed for streaming.
We’ll keep it non technical. You can connect to any ExpressVPN server and switch between them anytime. They offer locations throughout the world. If you want an IP from elsewhere they have VPN servers located in 94 different countries. ExpressVPN allows five simultaneous connections which is great for mobile devices.
The ExpressvPN client supports OpenVPN (UDP or TCP), IKEv2 (great for mobile), L2TP, and PPTP protocols. You can select which protocol is used to access the servers. Test each of them out to see which one works best from your location. For streaming NFL games and other media we recommend OpenVPN (UDP) on desktop and IKEv2 on mobile devices. We enjoy the best results using them.
An IP in another country will unblock access to football along with other geo restricted sites. Follow us on Twitter @VPNSP for more how-to guides along with VPN reviews and specials.
