Celebrating its 51st year, the Super Bowl will head to the Bank Stadium in Minneapolis on February 4th, 2018. Deciding the champions of the 2017/18 NFL season, the New England Patriots take on the Atlanta Falcons in a game sure to keep fans hooked.
With NBC securing the exclusive television rights, subscribers to the American cable TV service will have no difficulties catching the game. But fear not, if you live outside the US and don’t have a subscription to NBC, it’s still easy to watch NFL Super Bowl 52 action online. And it doesn’t matter where you live the UK, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Germany, Australia, or Spain!
However, to watch the Super Bowl LII live stream online from abroad, you’ll first need to get signed up to a VPN.
What Is A VPN And How Do I Get One?
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a service which allows you to browse the internet as if you were in a different a different country. For this article that different country is the USA, as that is where the Super Bowl is based.
However, for context, say, for example, you live in France and want to watch content which is restricted to Americans. Using a VPN will allow you to gain access a geo-locked content from the US. As the Super Bowl is being streamed exclusively on www.nbc.com, a VPN will be essential if you are planning to watch the game outside of the US.
