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 the fastest, easiest and most reliable way to watch TNT Sports abroad (Formally BT Sport). If you’re outside the UK and you want to watch your TNT Sports account then this guide is for you.
TNT Sports which was previously known as BT Sport is one of the best online sports streaming services in the UK.
It has everything from Premier League football to Rugby and much more in between. If you’ve got a TNT Sports account then you know how invaluable it has become.
If you’re outside the UK abroad and you’re trying to watch TNT Sports then you’ll already know it’s blocked.
You’ll be happy to know there is a really easy way to unblock TNT Sports abroad and watch from anywhere in the world while you’re travelling or even as an expat. So read on to find out how.
What you need to watch TNT Sports (BT Sport) abroad
If you’re already abroad outside the UK and you’ve tried to access your TNT Sports account to watch your favourite sports then you’ll already know you’re blocked from viewing.
To avoid this block you’ll need to get yourself an app called a VPN. A VPN will allow you to bypass the block and watch from anywhere in the world.
VPN: A VPN is a 100% legal privacy tool that helps protect your privacy online. One of the features is it allows you to disguise your location.
A VPN will cost a few pounds per month and the longer you subscribe for the cheaper they become.
For example with ExpressVPN, a 1-year subscription can be 49% cheaper than paying monthly so if you’re abroad for a while it’s worth signing up for longer to save that extra cash.
This solution works on both Windows and Mac computers and laptops and also Android devices like tablets and phones. It sadly does not work on Apple devices like the iPhone or iPad.
There are a few other suitable VPN apps like NordVPN and CyberGhost and while ExpressVPN is certainly my favourite, you’re free to choose.
