CW TV shows some of the United States best TV shows, but if you’re outside the US, then you’re blocked from watching.
In this guide I’ll be showing you how you can unblock CW TV and watch from anywhere in the world.
CW TV is an excellent site to unblock because it shows some of the most sought after shows like Riverdale, Roswell – New Mexico, All American, Supernatural, The Flash and many others.
So if you want to watch CW TV in the UK, in Canada, in Australia or in fact in any other country, this is the guide you need.
It’ll take about 5 minutes to follow and get set up and it’s suitable for all skill levels including beginners. So if you’re not great with technology, apps or anything technical you don’t need to worry because unblocking CW TV is incredibly easy.
Let’s find out how.
How to watch CW TV outside the US
To unblock CW TV outside the US you need one straightforward app.
It’s an app called a VPN.
A VPN is an entirely legal privacy app and one of the main features is allowing you to disguise your location. So if you’re in the UK, for example, you can change your location to make it look like you’re in the United States.
It means that wherever you are in the world, you can unblock CW TV using a VPN app and watch in your country.
Below you can follow the simple steps that will let you watch CW TV in your country.

Step 1
You first need to choose a VPN app.
There are loads of companies out there that supply them and while overall they’re similar, there are some differences. Not all VPN apps work with CW TV either, so it’s important to pick one that does.
You’ll also need a fast VPN so for this I recommend ExpressVPN which is both fast and works with CW TV. There are a couple of other good choices too so you can select any of these three:
- ExpressVPN – Recommended
- IPVanish
- NordVPN
Choose one and sign up for their service.
Signing up for a 12-month package is cheaper. For example, with ExpressVPN their 12-month package is 50% less expensive than paying monthly.
Step 2
You’ll now need to download their app.
ExpressVPN and the other service providers all offer apps for most major devices.
If you’re using a Windows or Mac computer user then you can download the ExpressVPN app from the ‘Products‘ section of the ExpressVPN website. You’ll find it in a similar area with the other providers too.
If you want to watch on your tablet or phone then you’ll need to go to your regular app store and search ‘ExpressVPN’. You can download and install the app from there.
Step 3
Once you’ve installed the app open it and login.
These are the same account details from when you signed up.
Step 4
On a Windows or Mac computer press the ‘Selected Location‘ button and then click on ‘United States‘.
You’ll also need to press on the ‘Connect‘ button.
If you’re using a tablet or phone press the ‘…‘ icon next to Selected Location and then select ‘United States‘.
Step 5
Once the app has connected, visit the CW Website by using this link.
You can now watch any of the shows or movies there for free. You don’t need to make an account or login.

What devices can I watch CW TV on?
CW TV is available for all the most popular devices.
Computer
The quickest and most hassle-free method to watch is to do so on a computer. You’ll need a VPN app from ExpressVPN or one of the other recommended providers and then visit the CW TV website.
Android / iOS
You can also watch on a phone or tablet but you’ll need to download the CW TV app. You won’t be able to download directly from your regular app store because you’re outside the United States.
For Android tablets or phones you can download it from APK Pure.
If you’re using an Apple iOS tablet or phone then you’ll need to watch this video or read this guide to install apps outside their intended country.
Amazon Fire TV
You can also watch CW TV on your Amazon Fire TV, Fire TV Stick or Fire TV Cube.
For this, you’ll still need the VPN service from ExpressVPN as explained earlier in this guide. You’ll also need to download the CW TV app to your Fire TV device.
If you’re outside the United States you can’t install it directly so will need to follow our other guide on how to install Amazon Fire TV apps outside their intended country.
What is CW TV?
CW TV is an American TV network that’s accessible via their online service.
It’s a collaboration between both CBS and Warner Bros. This is where the ‘C‘ and ‘W‘ come from in the name of the network.
The service is completely subscription free and you won’t need any cable network login details to access it either.
