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 view NBC Sports Gold outside the US.
All it takes is the use of a small app called a VPN. This may sound more intimidating than it actually is. However it need not be, using a VPN from my recommended provider ExpressVPN you can be up and running in under 5-minutes.
Don’t worry if you’re not great with technology either as the VPN app takes care of all the technical side of things for you. All you need to do is click to connect and enjoy NBC Sports Gold outside America anywhere in the world.
Below I’ll show you how.

NBC Sports Gold subscriptions
If you try and access the NBC Sports Gold website outside America then you’ll either be blocked entirely from accessing or you’ll have a severely restricted selection of packages to subscribe to.
If you connect to the United States with the ExpressVPN app you’ll be able to subscribe to all these packages and more:
- Premier League Pass
- Cycling Pass
- Pro Motorcross Pass
- Track and Field Pass
- Figure Skating Pass
- Speed Skating Pass
- Rugby Pass
- Blazers Pass
and many more.
If you’re not a United States resident then you can use a VPN from ExpressVPN to sign up to one of the packages and then stream the sports live in your country.
If you’re an American who already has a subscription or wants to get one but are outside the country then you can use the VPN to access, buy and watch all your favourite sports overseas.
How does a VPN work and is it legal
You’re probably wondering if a VPN is actually legal? The good news is VPN services are completely legal.
VPN apps are actually originally for privacy purposes so companies, the government and hackers can’t track you online.
They work by passing your data through another location. If for example you’re in Europe and you use a VPN, your data is first passed to the United States and then on to the NBC Sports Gold service.
NBC Sports Gold only see the request from the United States so rather than block you or offer up the reduced services, they offer the full service as if you were in America.

HI Chris, I am in south africa. I have a couple of questions and any help would be greatly appreciated. I currently use a google chromecast app to watch on my tv. So if I get a VPN, would it then give me access to the google play store in the states? I ask this because if I search for the NBC gold app on my phone in the SA play store, nothing comes up. Secondly, do you know if the streaming service is chromecast compatible? Thats it for now. 🙂
Hi Brett,
Unfortunately it wouldn’t give you access to the US Google Play store. This is more based on your account location.
However, once you have downloaded the app you’ll be able to use a VPN to watch it, otherwise it would be blocked.
I’m not sure about the specific app and the Chromecast, although the VPN app itself probably won’t be compatible with the Chromecast. It would be easier using an Amazon Fire TV Stick, for example.
Hi, I’ve done all this but my issue now is actually paying for a subscription because all my card details are registered in the UK so is there a way around this? It keeps saying something wrong everytime I enter my details.
Hi Charlie,
You could try a service like MyGiftCardSupply or Statescard. You’ll find them both by searching Google.
NBC GOLD requires location services ‘on’ so it detects you without regard to the VPN. I know because I returned recently to UK and tried to use my NBC subscription using NordVPN services..
Hi,
You should try watching on a laptop or computer, there are no requirements for locations services. Also works well on the Fire TV / Stick as there are no location requirements for that either.
If you want to watch on a mobile/tablet it’s worth trying to put “Airplane Mode” on, then re-enable Wi-Fi and try again using the VPN.
