TVPlayer is one of the best online services for watching live British TV and in this guide I’m going to show you how you can watch TVPlayer outside the UK.
Unfortunately though TVPlayer is restricted to viewing from within the UK and if you try to watch outside then you’ll be blocked.
If you’re a British expat or traveller or you just like British TV and want to watch something on TVPlayer then you’ll certainly be disappointed when you see this block message.
Below I’m going to show you how in just 5 steps how you can watch TVPlayer outside the UK from any country on the planet.
Watch TVPlayer outside the UK
If you visit the TVPlayer website outside the UK then instead of being able to watch the service live or catch-up if you have an account you’ll instead see a message stopping you from accessing that looks like this.
It’s possible to bypass this block message and it’s actually incredibly easy to do.
To bypass the block message so you can watch TVPlayer outside the UK you need to get an app called a VPN.
A VPN is a legal privacy tool that allows you to change your location.
VPN services cost a few US Dollars per month and the longer you subscribe the cheaper they become. They also work on almost all devices from phones and tablets right through to computers and laptops.
Even though they sound really technical and complicated – they’re not. You can be using one within just 5 simple steps and even if you’re a beginner you won’t have any trouble.
How to watch TVPlayer outside the UK Steps
Follow my 5 simple steps below which show you where to get a VPN and how to use it to watch TVPlayer abroad.
- Visit the VPN service provider IPVanish by clicking here to get started and sign up for their service. They’ve got a 7-day money back guarantee so it’s risk free if you can’t get it working.
- Once you’ve signed up go to the Apps section of the IPVanish website and download and install the correct app for your device. You can use one account on up to five devices at the same time and use it on different types of devices.
- Now the app is installed open it and when prompted login with your account details. These are the details you made when you signed up for the service.
- In the country selection list select the United Kingdom and then press the Connect button.
- Once the app has connected head over to the TVPlayer.com website where you can watch as much content as you want.
There is nothing more to it. You’re now free to watch as much TVPlayer as you wish and if you’ve got a TVPlayer account then you can also use the advanced features.
There are no further charges or limits on how long you can stay connected or how much TV you can watch.
If you would like to shop around then two other VPN providers I recommend are NordVPN and ExpressVPN who also work well for watching TVPlayer outside the UK.
Take a look at my example video below if you’re still a little confused or think it’ll be too difficult for you to do. I can promise you, you’ll be surprised just how easy it is.

Alongside the standard channels, it also offers access to all the Freeview channels too such a Dave, Drama, CNN, Universal, SyFy and more.

With a VPN you can access both the free service and the subscription based service. If you’re a Brit abroad or you love British TV then TVPlayer is definitely worth checking out.
Are VPN services even legal?
You might be wondering about the magical VPN and how it enables you to watch TVPlayer outside the UK even though it’s only intended for the UK.
You’ll be pleased to know that VPN apps are completely legal in nearly every country in the world. Their intended purpose is to protect your online privacy and with everyone from companies to the government and nasty hackers trying to snoop on what you’re doing online they’ve become widely used.
One of the best features of a VPN is it allows you to disguise your location which stops people from tracking you online and stops what you’re doing being linked to yourself.
As a VPN allows you to change your location you can use it to make it appear as if you’re in the UK. Being in the UK means you can watch TVPlayer and so as you might have guessed a VPN allows you to watch TVPlayer outside the UK from any country.
