Chris, a UK-born media connoisseur, is an expert in watching international TV. Known as "The Global Screen Wanderer", he has travelled extensively across the globe with long stints away from home. With over 10 years of experience he has become the go-to guru for streaming content from home and abroad.
In this guide I’m going to show you how you can unblock and watch the Scottish Premiership in Scotland, across the wider UK and Ireland.
The Scottish Premiership is one of the best football leagues in the world. Like most other premium leagues the TV rights are restricted to one cable network, in this case, Sky.
However, where the Scottish Premiership teams differ to the English Premier League teams, they each have their own individual streaming website.
These streaming services are available to international viewers only. It is however possible to unblock these so you can watch in Scotland, the UK or Ireland and below I’ll show you how.
How to unblock and watch the Scottish Premiership
To unblock and watch the Scottish Premiership via your team’s website (eg; Rangers TV, Celtic TV and others) you’ll need to get yourself a VPN service.
A VPN allows you to change your location so it looks like you’re outside Scotland, the UK or Ireland. For example you can use a VPN to connect to France. When you visit your team’s streaming site it thinks you’re in France.
The result is you can watch the matches live online on your team’s website.
I recommend using ExpressVPN because they’ve got a 30-day money back guarantee. This lets you set-up and use the service and see it working risk-free. If you can’t get it working then simply get your money back, nothing lost.
They’ve also got a promotion on their 12 month package where you get 3 months on top completely free. This saves you 49% off paying monthly. It’s well worth considering to watch the entire Scottish Premiership season.
There are other providers too and below I’ll show you the best and show you how to use the VPN to watch the Scottish Premiership matches live.

How to get a VPN and use it to watch
The first step is choosing a VPN provider. They’re much the same although some are too slow for live video. I recommend ExpressVPN for the reasons listed earlier.
However if you want to check out some other choices the following are my top 3. They’re all tried and tested and work well for watching the Scottish Premiership:
- ExpressVPN – 85% of other readers choose this
- IPVanish
- NordVPN
Choose one of the above and then follow the instructions below. I’m using ExpressVPN in my example because I find them to be slightly better but you can use any of the three above:
How to unblock and watch the Scottish Premiership:
- Visit the ExpressVPN website by clicking here, select a subscription length and sign-up.
- Go to the Products section of their website and download the correct app for your device.
- Open the app and activate it or login when requested.
- Press Choose Location.
- Press France (or any country outside the UK or Ireland).
- Wait for the app to automatically Connect or press Connect if it doesn’t automatically.
ExpressVPN lets you unblock your team’s TV service.
Once the app has connected just head over to your team’s online streaming website. Nearly every Scottish Premiership has one. There are also some streaming websites for lower league teams too.
I’ve put together a list of most of the major Scottish football club streaming websites below.
While connected to the VPN you’ll now be able to sign up for either their 1 month or entire season streaming package.
You’ll need to connect to the VPN service as detailed above each time you want to watch a match but you’ll be able to watch in Scotland, across the wider UK and Ireland which would ordinarily be blocked.

Recap: Unblock and watch the Scottish Premiership
Watching your favourite Scottish football team online is simple. Each team has their own online streaming service. This is usually restricted to watching for international visitors only.
However, by using an app called a VPN you can make it appear as if you’re outside Scotland, the UK or Ireland which will unblock the sites and let you watch inside Scotland, the UK or Ireland.
I recommend using ExpressVPN because they’re one of the easier to use services. They’ve also got a risk-free 30-day money back guarantee. This means if you can’t get it working you can just get your money back.
They’ve also got a great deal allowing you to watch the entire season. If you take their year package they’ll give you 3 months free on top, this makes the price 49% cheaper than paying on a monthly basis.
Just click the button below to visit ExpressVPN and sign up. Download their app, connect to a country outside Scotland, eg; France then sign up for your team’s international 1-month or season pass service.
Next visit the TV streaming page while connected to the VPN and enjoy watching your team live.
