Why won't BT Sport work with VPN?
My understanding is that VPNs can affect broadband service - as it would be the case if BT Sport works through you internet.
The same goes with BT's online content? Why not just use a VM? So, why does a VPN work but online content won't? Is it because BT works for you and not me, so has to account for different ISPs? (I think this might be it) It seems to work on my line to them atm. Re: ? For people who have set up a VPN or PPPOE in their router/modem you should know that it may affect your home line as most ISPs don't actually support it. If you have problems with your IP settings then please check that your computer IP address has changed after installing the VPN as well as your router IP address. Also it's worth double checking that all the necessary ports are open for use as well as your firewall settings.
Is there a guide somewhere that's specific to BT Sport? It's not clear which port(s) they use or what other protocols they support etc. All in all it sounds like quite a lot of work. It could also be that the ISP's you're connected through are using some kind of NAT which interferes with any port forwarding being used.
Have you got an email address that you've registered with both your computer and your router and can use to log in (assuming you've opened the relevant ports)? In what way does VPN affect BT Sport? Does it cause BT Sport to not work through VPN? Can you access BT Sport as long as you are logging into an account on the internet you've used BT Sport with previously? Originally Posted by RizR. No, and no. Unless you have the BT OpenZone set to allow VPN as a source for traffic, I wouldn't expect VPN to do anything when using BT Sport.
Can I watch BT Sport abroad with NordVPN?
Currently you can watch BT Sport in over 100 countries through VPN services.
The latest addition is the UK and Ireland, so if you live there you'll be able to watch the Premier League matches for free through our VPN service.
Please keep in mind that your VPN provider needs to have a server in your location. If you live somewhere not listed in our VPN list then it's unlikely you can use BT Sport. However if you live outside the UK and a VPN provider does have a server in your country we are confident they will add it shortly, or you may want to check out our VPN services that can access all regions.
If you'd like to try our VPN service for yourself, go to our VPN provider page and sign up for a trial and select the UK as the location to connect. For more information on the UK VPN list please take a look at the FAQ's.
Can I watch BT Sport through a VPN?
Yes, but we can't guarantee it works.
In fact, it probably won't. As a rule of thumb though, the more 'honest' VPN providers are, the more likely they are to provide a 'secure' (private) IP address; as these usually do mean more trouble when logging in (for example).
Is BT Sport not available in the UK? The site has a lot of content that's only available to English speaking countries. You'll need an account to watch some video content and you'll have to be a UK resident to order some products. This, sadly, should stop the rest of the world from streaming it any time soon.
What region are these stations in? UK/Ireland/Channel Islands: England: London (Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham). Kentucky (Bethnal Green CC and Bishops Stortford). Sussex (Crawley, Hove Albion, Wivenhoe Town). Wirral (Northwich F.) Is there BT Sport in a non-English language? Yes - if you're in a EU country. For example: German, French or Italian - and in every other country outside the UK. This is because a lot of the content is UK-focused and so available to any UK person. A bit over 25% of Brits speak German (and other EU languages), plus everyone else on a much smaller scale.
Can I watch through a 3rd party VPN if I'm abroad? If you have a 3rd party VPN, and you're using it from outside the UK, your internet provider will either block it or you'll be paying a heavy data packet and bandwidth tax. We have no idea why this happens, it's just a thing. There might be legal reasons behind it, though, so it's not entirely unjustified.
Can I download and watch stuff through my mobile phone or tablet? Not officially, no. All content is streamed through the web - you'll only have access to it while connected to the web through your TV.
What device should I get? There's really nothing we can't work with. If it's above 720p and doesn't run out of steam (don't worry, it won't)!
Can I watch BT Sport in USA?
I don't want to buy it in England, is that illegal?
I heard that there are different packages to choose from. and where is it on Roku? I see it for the first time in my app and then it disappears.
There are many reasons why I'd love to bring BT Sport into the U., and I'd really like to find out more about those reasons so that I can understand and respond to others' questions/comments.
The Roku channel is available in your region, but you might need to be a little bit more tech savvy than the average person. Rokun is available for free at There are lots of tutorials online if you need help figuring it out. However, you have to get it from their website (or a friend who has one). To sign up: They will ask you for a password and then sign you up to their service for free. After that, you can start streaming with your free device. I hope this helps you. Sorry for the long answer but I thought you might have already tried to watch BT sports and maybe not have realized that it wasn't working. You will have to get it from them in your own country. This is the UK site that has it but they also have other services you might want to look into: and
Yes. It is available to anyone in the United States. It was the most viewed channel in the world. Unfortunately, they are not available to buy or stream outside the UK and Europe. However, you can watch it on Roku or use their iOS and Android apps. Unfortunately, it is not available on XBOX or PlayStation. They had over 7 million U. Viewers in 2023.
When watching BTSports on Roku you have two options. You can download the BTSport client application and you will have all of the TV channels you want along with the BTSports channel. Otherwise, you can use the web-player provided by the channel. Both of those are free and they both provide full access.
