How Hotspot Shield unblocks college football 2020 streams

Next year, the offensive powerhouse that is the LSU Tigers will defend their title and attempt a repeat victory. Last year’s championship game was a shootout against the Clemson Tigers. That matchup featured Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow go up against Trevor Lawrence, who is also not only very talented but dangerously mobile.

TV apps that offer live college football streams let you tune in to watch your favourite team over the internet. There are many apps to choose from, but they all have one thing in common: geographical restrictions.

These restrictions often stop streaming service subscribers from watching their favorite teams. That’s where college football VPN service Hotspot Shield comes in. Once you connect to one of Hotspot Shield’s VPN servers located outside of your local blackout zone, you can access any of the streams that your live TV app supports. Since streaming services use IP addresses to estimate where you’re located, you’ll be able to navigate around any type of location-based block that you may encounter and avoid NCAA college football blackouts.

How to avoid college football blackouts

The age of video streaming has arrived. More people are getting their entertainment through TV apps instead of via cable and satellite services. These apps are not only cheap and convenient, but also offer features that cable companies can’t or won’t provide. You get mobile apps for watching TV on the go, built-in DVRs, and more.

Despite all these benefits, one problem still remains: blackouts and regional restrictions. That’s where a college football VPN comes in. Since you can switch your location instantly by selecting between one of its 80+ server locations and 35+ US and European cities, it lets you unblock college football and your TV app’s full potential. Just switch to whatever location you need to be in to watch the game you want to see.

How to watch CFB stream abroad

The majority of the most popular streaming services won’t work abroad. This can be annoying if you’re on vacation and want to catch an important game. For United States military personnel that are stationed overseas and expats living abroad, these types of location-based blocks are even more frustrating.

All geographic restrictions go away when you use a college football VPN to access the internet. Once you’re connected, you can sign up with just about any service that’s available in the United States. All you have to do is use our app to log into one of our United States servers.

Watching NCAA streams without cable

Several of the most popular streaming services cater to NCAA football fans. Here are just a few TV apps that you can use with Hotspot Shield, your college football VPN:

Watch NCAA college football streams on Hulu with Live TV

With Hulu with Live TV’s straightforward $45/month subscription plan, you get five ESPN channels, FS1, CBS Sports Network ACC Network, Big 10 Network, and SEC Network. You also get a free DVR that you can use to record any games that you miss. The only significant gap is Pac-12 Network, which Hulu with Live TV doesn’t offer.

Watch NCAA college football streams on PlayStation Vue

PlayStation Vue is a bit more expensive than Hulu with Live TV. You’ll need to get the $55/month Core plan to get many of the regional sports networks. Vue carries ESPN, FS1, CBS Sports Network, and all the college football broadcast channels that Hulu with Live TV offers. Pac-12 Network is not available, though.

Watch NCAA college football streams on fuboTV

fuboTV is a sports-oriented streaming service that specializes in niche sports. It’s also the only streaming service that supports 4K live streams. You can get FS1, the Big 10 Network, the Pac-12 Network, and CBS Sports Network with the basic $55/month plan. A channel add-on pack will let you get several different regional Fox Sports and Pac-12 channels. The service’s major downside is that it doesn’t carry any ESPN channels.

Why watch college football streams with Hotspot Shield VPN

Fastest VPN on the market

There’s one word that defines Hotspot Shield VPN’s core benefit: speed. Competing VPN services tend to bog down when they encounter video streams. Annoying buffering issues can slow down college football streams — or even cause you to miss important plays. Thanks to our patented VPN protocol, Hydra, we’ve become the fastest VPN on the market according to security software research institute, AV Test. Ookla’s Speedtest.net also just named Hotspot Shield the “world’s fastest VPN.”
