Watch the NFL Draft of 2020 online with a VPN

The 2020 NFL Draft is shaping up to be an exciting one. LSU quarterback Joe Burrow is almost unanimously expected to be picked first. If that happens, he’ll go to the Cincinnati Bengals. Ohio State defensive end Chase Young will likely go to the Redskins. Beyond those two initial picks, the pundits are divided as to what will happen next.

A VPN can help you if you want to watch the NFL Draft online. It enables you to switch out your real IP address to one from a different location. Why is this important? Because sometimes the NFL live stream you want to watch is restricted due to your geographical location — be it a local NFL blackout, you’re traveling abroad and can’t access your typical streaming service, or an NFL live stream is not available in your country.

By using a VPN, you’re routing your internet traffic through the VPN’s secure servers, making the site you’re visiting think you’re located elsewhere. With Hotspot Shield VPN, you’ll have access to NFL live games on demand, wherever you are — all while ensuring super-fast streaming with no buffering.

Watch live out-of-market games with NFL Game Pass

NFL Game Pass, while pricey, allows you to watch any game throughout the league. The catch, however, is that US residents can only watch their local, in-market games live. Other games are only available to watch after the live games have concluded. So how can you stream NFL Game Pass live with a VPN?

To watch every game live, regardless of where you live, you need NFL Game Pass International (a product only available to those who live outside the US). Here’s how the NFL Game Pass hack works:

Step 1: Open up the Hotspot Shield app and connect to a VPN server located outside of the United States (“Mexico,” for example).

Step 2: Head to the NFL Games Pass website. You’ll now be able to purchase “NFL Game Pass International.”

Step 3: With NFL Game Pass International, you can watch any NFL game live. Never wait to watch out-of-market games again.

NFL blackout: Get the cheapest price for NFL Game Pass

NFL Game Pass offers different pricing depending on what country you live in. For example, residents in Asia Pacific tend to pay lower prices than those in the United States. By switching between Hotspot Shield’s 80+ VPN server locations, you can compare prices and find the cheapest deal.

Be aware, however, that NFL Game Pass can be different depending on what international pass you purchase. As mentioned, the US NFL Game Pass does not show games live. Some games are blacked out in the United Kingdom, too (the UK hosts a handful of NFL games during the season). In Mexico, or in most EU countries, all games, including the Playoffs and Super Bowl, are streamed live, so you can select the game you want to watch.

Most NFL Game Pass International subscribers also get access to the NFL Network, NFL RedZone, and NFL Films, so you’ll get an endless supply of football content to enjoy throughout the 2019-2020 season.

How to watch NFL live stream from abroad

If you live outside of the US, or regularly travel abroad, you’ll find that watching an NFL live stream is difficult due to streaming services being restricted. Most of the live stream options are only available to people within the United States.

To combat these restrictions and unblock NFL, fans can use Hotspot Shield VPN. Simply connect to the USA VPN server location and the NFL stream you’re trying to use will think you’re located within the US, even though you’re not. This enables you to watch your preferred NFL live stream without restrictions.

How to stream NFL without cable

In today’s online world, it’s becoming increasingly common for people to ditch cable in favor of various streaming services. When doing so, you’ll need to find a viable NFL live stream to watch the games without restrictions. If the streaming service you wish to use is restricted in your area, you can use Hotspot Shield’s NFL VPN and select a non-restricted VPN server location.

Here are some of the ways you can watch 2020 NFL season live online

Watch NFL on Twitch

Twitch will again be streaming 11 Thursday Night Football games live in 2019. These will only be available to residents in the US, so you’ll need to use Hotspot Shield VPN to ensure you’re connected through our USA VPN server.

Stream NFL on Playstation Vue

A PlayStation Vue subscription costs $45 per month and features most of the channels you’ll need to watch the 2020 NFL live stream. You also get a 5-day free trial to try before you buy.

Watch NFL on Hulu

Hulu Live TV costs $45 per month. You’ll get all the games on CBS, FOX, NBC, and ESPN, but you won’t be able to access the NFL Network. Still, with access to other great shows offered by Hulu, this remains a solid option for football fans.

Watch NFL live on DirectTV

DirectTV, at $50 per month, is perfect to watch NFL games live as all local channels are included. You can also opt to include the NFL Sunday Ticket via DirectTV, which provides access to every game live via the NFL RedZone channel. This is perhaps the most comprehensive NFL coverage available.

Watch NFL live on Youtube TV

YouTube TV carries the networks that show all NFL games. The subscription is $40 per month and arrives with a 7-day free trial. Make sure Hotspot Shield is connected to the “United States” VPN server to ensure restriction-free action.

Watch NFL on fuboTV

FuboTV carries CBS, Fox, NBC, and the NFL Network, so you can easily catch all of the NFL action. A subscription costs $55 per month, however, but you do get a free 7-day trial to test it out first. You'll want to make sure Hotspot Shield is connected and you have selected "United States" as your VPN server.

How to stream NFL for free on mobile

Thanks to the NFL’s partnership with Verizon, you can stream the entire 2020 NFL season for free. Better still, you don’t even need to be a Verizon customer to take advantage of it.

The catch, however, is that you can only stream on mobile. To watch NFL live stream on your mobile device, simply download the Yahoo! Sports app (Verizon owns Yahoo!) and make sure your Hotspot Shield VPN is connected to the “United States” server location.
