How to watch a 2020 NHL live stream with a VPN

Why you need a VPN to watch NHL live streams

Streaming services use IP addresses to guess where their customers are. In the same way that street addresses identify where a house is located, IP addresses contain information about a computer’s geographical location. Without a VPN, you’re limited to using the IP address that your internet service provider gives you. With a VPN, you can use an IP address from places like India (via Singapore), France, or Canada to browse the web. 

NHL.TV and other similar streaming apps often try to keep users from certain countries or certain regions from accessing content. But once you turn on a VPN, you can appear to be anywhere in the world. By disguising your true location, you can get full access to all the NHL hockey content that your streaming service offers. 

There are many NHL VPNs on the market, but none of them are as fast as Hotspot VPN — enabling you to enjoy lightning-quick video streaming with no buffering. 

How to avoid NHL.TV blackout restrictions

With an all-access pass to NHL.TV, you can watch all kinds of NHL matches — but there’s a catch. Licensing deals require NHL.TV to place blackouts on live streams of games that are broadcast on local and national television in your area. Thankfully, there’s a workaround for this.

With Hotspot Shield VPN, most NHL.TV restrictions go away. All you have to do is open the VPN app and log into a foreign country. Most international NHL.TV subscribers get to watch all the games. Just pick a country that doesn’t broadcast NHL games on TV and you can tune in to whichever game you want to see.
