How to watch UFC 248 outside the U.S.
ESPN+ blocks UFC pay per view content outside the United States. That doesn't mean you have to miss out if you're outside America, though. You can use a VPN to move your internet traffic to the U.S. so you're allowed to watch it.
Note that if you're watching the game on your phone (or streaming it to a smart TV), all you need to do is install it on the device. If you want to watch the game via an app on an Android TV, however, it gets a bit more complicated — you'll need a router that supports internal VPNs. Our recommended VPN is below.
Don't miss out because you're out of the country
Consistently rated as one of the best VPNs in the world, ExpressVPN is an excellent choice for Android, with a high-quality mobile client and multiple pricing plans. Sure, it can be a bit pricy, but in this case, you get what you pay for.
