How to Watch the Bundesliga from Anywhere with a VPN
If you find yourself unable to watch Bundesliga matches locally, you may need another way to watch the games. In that case, a VPN may come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speed on match day by encrypting your traffic. It’s also a good idea if you’re traveling and connected to a Wi-Fi network and want to add an extra layer of privacy to your devices and login details.
A VPN allows you to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet, or laptop to access the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice ExpressVPN, make it very easy to do this.
It’s legal to use a VPN to watch or stream sports in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK, and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming from. You’ll want to make sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service can terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing properly enforced blackout restrictions.

Quick Tips for Streaming the Bundesliga Using a VPN
- Depending on four variables (your internet service provider, browser, video streaming provider, and VPN), your experiences and success streaming Bundesliga matches can vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try the ‘Search by city or country’ option.
- If you’re having issues with gameplay after enabling your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and make sure that the address registered to the account is one in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address stored with your account. Second, some smart TVs, like Roku, don’t have VPN apps that you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll need to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that every device on the Wi-Fi network will now appear in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main sites for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after installing a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to the email address stored for your smart TV. This is where a VPN on your router also helps, as both devices appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember that browsers can often reveal your location, despite using a VPN. So make sure you use a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We usually recommend Brave.
