VPN Not Working for Live Sport? Fix DAZN, TNT and More

Missing the match because DAZN, TNT Sports, beIN, F1 TV or Kayo spotted your VPN? Here's how to get the stream back before kick-off

Live sport is where VPN blocks hurt most, because you can't just try again tomorrow. Sports broadcasters pay a lot for exclusive rights in each country, so they're among the quickest to block VPN servers, and they often tighten up just before big events.

The trick is to test your setup well before kick-off, have a second server ready, and use the broadcaster's own app where you can. These guides cover each major sports service, plus how to watch the Premier League when you're travelling.
