Get NFL Game Pass International and stream games live without blackouts
If you’re looking to catch every game of the 2021 NFL season, but don’t have a U.S. cable subscription, NFL Game Pass is your best option.

To access NFL Game Pass with a VPN:
- Get ExpressVPN.
- Connect to a non-U.S. location where all games are available. For assistance, contact ExpressVPN Support via live chat.

- Sit back and enjoy!

NFL blackouts: International Game Pass vs. U.S. Game Pass
What’s the difference between watching NFL Game Pass in Germany, Australia, Canada, or the U.S.? NFL Game Pass is available both inside and outside the States. However, there are key differences every fan needs to know:
The U.S. NFL Game Pass does not offer live streaming of regular-season or postseason games. It provides streams of out-of-market preseason games, on-demand replays of every regular-season game, and the NFL Films archive. There are no blackouts of regular-season games (because none are shown live at all). A seven-day free trial is available.
In most other markets, such as Mexico and most EU countries, the international NFL Game Pass offers all 256 regular-season games plus the NFL Playoffs and Super Bowl. Users trying to watch the NFL in the UK or Ireland are subject to blackouts on some games, and for viewers who want to stream the NFL in Canada, Game Pass is available exclusively through DAZN.
Most international Game Pass subscribers get access to NFL RedZone, the NFL Network, and all NFL Films programming. There’s a seven-day free trial available.

More Game Pass Information
If you’re looking for more information before committing to a Game Pass subscription, here are some answers to some of the questions you may have:
Is NFL Game Pass UK the same as International Game Pass?
In a word, no. Regional broadcasting rights in the UK and the Republic of Ireland mean certain games are subject to blackout restrictions.
This applies even if a subscriber from the UK or Ireland is in another part of the EU. Existing EU Portability Regulations require UK and Ireland blackout restrictions to apply no matter where in the EU the subscriber is.
Can I watch NFL Game Pass in Europe?
EU viewers who subscribe to NFL Game Pass from most locations other than the UK or Ireland should have access to all games live, although limited blackouts may apply if such users try to watch from the UK or Ireland.
Where is the cheapest location to get NFL International Game Pass?
NFL international Game Pass prices vary from region to region, but South American locations tend to offer the lowest prices, which can get as low as 75 USD for the season. For information about specific countries, contact ExpressVPN Support.
Subscription refunds are valid up to seven days from the purchase date. Free trial refunds are valid up to three days after the trial ends. More details can be found on the NFL Digital Care site.
Which devices can I watch International NFL Game Pass on?
NFL Game Pass works on the following devices. To set up ExpressVPN on your device, follow the corresponding link below:

Top NFL Week 7 games
There are 26 teams in action, but a few Week 7 games on the schedule that especially stand out (all times EDT):
Thursday Night Football: Denver Broncos vs. Cleveland Browns – October 21, 8:20 p.m.
Both teams enter this contest with identical 3-3 records, and each is in desperate need of a win. The Broncos have dropped three consecutive games after appearing to be one of the NFL’s pleasant surprises, while the Browns have dropped two in a row, giving up 84 points in the process. Whoever loses this game will have some serious soul searching to do.
Top early game: Cincinnati Bengals vs. Baltimore Ravens – October 24, 1:00 p.m.
No one expected the Bengals to be in the race for the AFC North crown entering the season, but they sit at 4-2 with each loss coming by just three points. The Ravens haven’t lost since Week 1, and are coming off a dominant victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. If Cincinnati wants to prove it’s ready to compete for a division title, this is the game to do it.
Top late game: Chicago Beats vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – October 24, 4:25 p.m.
With the Buccaneers looking shakier than usual in a narrow win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6, this could be a spot for an upset. The Bears have a solid defense and rookie quarterback Justin Fields is finding his footing at the NFL level—and beginning to show off his dynamic rushing abilities. If Fields can get Allen Robinson and Darnell Mooney involved in the deep passing game the Bears could have success against Tampa Bay’s subpar secondary.
Sunday Night Football: Indianapolis Colts vs. San Francisco 49ers – October 24, 8:20 p.m.
This primetime matchup features two teams that bring similar strengths to the table. Each squad has a solid defense, a strong running game, and top-flight coaching staff, but lacks an explosive passing game. That could make for a grind-it-out contest that could turn some viewers off, but it’s also likely to be a close game that comes down to the wire.
Monday Night Football: New Orleans Saints vs. Seattle Seahawks – October 24, 8:15 p.m
With Russell Wilson down, it’s impossible to know what you’re going to get from the Seahawks, but the team certainly made things entertaining against the Pittsburgh Steelers in a Week 6 overtime loss. The Saints are the better team, but Jameis Winston remains a wild card and turnovers could make or break New Orleans’ chances.
NFL award race leaders
MVP – Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
No one has separated from the pack in this category yet, but Brady gets the nod thanks to the pass yardage totals he’s putting up—and the efficiency of the Buccaneers’ offense he’s leading. The 44-year-old is on pace to shatter his personal yards-per-game record, and demonstrate his dominance over Father Time for yet another season.
(Preseason pick: Patrick Mahomes)
Offensive Player of the Year – Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans
After a mediocre Week 1 performance, Henry has been putting a hurting on the league, showing that he’s still capable of monster games. He’s leading the yards-from-scrimmage leaderboard, he’s also catching far more passes than usual, which could indicate he’s becoming more versatile in his sixth season.
(Preseason pick: Davante Adams)
Defensive Player of the Year – Trevon Diggs, Dallas Cowboys
After pulling down three interceptions in his rookie season, Diggs has become the league’s top ball hawk this year picking off a record seven passes in six games. The second-year corner currently leads the league in interceptions, passes defended, interception return yards, and defensive touchdowns.
(Preseason pick: Myles Garrett)
Offensive Rookie of the Year – Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals
The highly-touted rookie quarterback class has yet to meet expectations, but the same can’t be said for Chase. The fifth overall pick isn’t just performing well for a rookie, he’s been a top-five receiver by both yards and touchdowns. Chase has combined consistency (he’s posted at least 77 yards or a touchdown in every game) with explosiveness (his 20.5 yards per reception ranks second in the NFL) to generate incredible production.
(Preseason pick: Trevor Lawrence)
Defensive Rookie of the Year – Micah Parsons, Dallas Cowboys
No one eligible for this award has had a more multifaceted affect on their team than Parsons. The linebacker has been particularly adept at rushing the passer—he has 2.5 sacks and ranks in the league’s top-10 in quarterback hits—but he’s also contributed in coverage, helping the Cowboys’ defense achieve a competence it couldn’t find last season.
(Preseason pick: Micah Parsons)
Comeback Player of the Year – Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
Prescott was on his way to an outstanding season in 2020 before an ankle injury robbed him of 11 games, and he’s picking up right where he left off. The veteran is leading an incredibly dangerous offense and looks like he’s going to shatter his career highs in touchdowns, completion percentage, and passer rating. He sustained a minor injury in Week 6, but a bye week in Week 7 should allow him to come back strong and maintain his torrid pace.
(Preseason pick: Odell Beckham Jr.)
Coach of the Year – Kliff Kingsbury, Arizona Cardinals
Coming into the season, Kingsbury was a common pick to be the first coach fired thanks to the inconsistency of the Cardinals under his stewardship and the tough road he faced in the NFC West. Six weeks into the season, he’s sitting pretty as his team is undefeated and his franchise quarterback appears to be finding another level. If he takes Arizona to the playoffs for the first time since 2015 this award could be in his future.
(Preseason pick: Brandon Staley)
Key storylines of the NFL season
Will Matthew Stafford’s move to Los Angeles shake up the NFC?
For years the Rams were flooded with talent on both sides of the ball, but seemed to be held back by Jared Goff’s limitations as a passer. Although Stafford’s record in Detroit is far from spotless, his arm strength is remarkable and he’s expected to pile up wins now that he’s plying his trade for a more successful franchise guided by offensive wizard Sean McVay.
Is this the end of Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay?
For parts of the offseason it looked like Rodgers had played his last game in a Packers jersey, but he’s back for at least one more run. It’s hard to imagine him playing for another team, but that’s looking probable so the 2020 MVP’s campaign with Green Bay should be appreciated. It will take a Herculean effort on his part to end his time with the Packers on a championship note, but it’s far from impossible.
Who’s going to stop the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?
The Buccaneers have a well-balanced roster and a legendary quarterback, and are coming off a season that saw them get better and better as they gelled on the way to a Super Bowl title. Now the New Orleans Saints figure to pose far less resistance in the NFC South with Hall of Fame QB Drew Brees hanging up his cleats. Tampa Bay is no lock to repeat, but the team is in a good spot.
Who’s going to win the Super Bowl?
Even early in the season there are a few teams that look like clear contenders to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The Kansas City Chiefs looked to be at the top of that list coming into the season thanks to the presence of Patrick Mahomes at quarterback and his elite weapons, Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill. Their unimpressive 3-3 start is bringing that into question. It would also be unwise to rule out the defending champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have the legendary Tom Brady at the helm as well as a top-flight defense.
Beyond the teams who made the Super Bowl last year are a couple of clubs who had unstoppable offenses—the Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers. The Bills look particularly dangerous considering they’ve posted a league-best +105 point differential and dismantled the Chiefs in Week 5. The Cleveland Browns’ combination of a dominant rushing attack and a sturdy defense gives them a shot, and the same could be said for the Baltimore Ravens who impressed by toppling the formerly-dominant Chargers in Week 6.
Another place to look for a contender would be the NFC West—the most stacked division in the NFL. The Los Angeles Rams have a balanced roster that got a major upgrade at quarterback in the form of Matthew Stafford, the and the Arizona Cardinals appear to making the most of Kyler Murray‘s impressive gifts. Even the San Francisco 49ers could make some noise with solid defense, a soft schedule, and picture-perfect play-calling from Kyle Shanahan.
Here are the championship probabilities of the top 10 teams as calculated by FiveThirtyEight:
| Team | Championship Probability |
| Tampa Bay Buccaneers | 15% |
| Baltimore Ravens | 14% |
| Buffalo Bills | 12% |
| Arizona Cardinals | 12% |
| Los Angeles Rams | 10% |
| Dallas Cowboys | 6% |

Since there wasn’t a single mention of the Steelers in the above recap of week 1 (they are from Pittsburgh For any newcomers in the house) it seems reasonable to not mention them, I suppose. They won a tough game in Buffalo against the Bills and have, arguably, the toughest schedule in nthe NFL this season. I just want to go on record as suggesting you ain’t seen nothing yet. Just sayin’.
I’ve always loved the game of football itself, but never ever liked the NFL as an organization.
I have a hard time wrapping my head around & understanding the logic behind letting international customers watch most of the games live but not here in the US where the frigging game originated!
I tell ya it’s unamerican & the NFL should be held accountable!
Think I’ll start a movement to call out the NFL for treating US citizens this way, cause if it wasn’t for us fans here in the US the NFL wouldn’t exist!
Greenbay n Chief

Hi!
I signed on yesterday and tried to get DAZN Canada, but unfortunately it didn’t work as it showed me an error when trying to sign in to DAZN. I looked up the error online on reddit and someone suggested trying from Vancouver but that didn’t work.
I tried going to the NFL game pass mexico site but it appeared to be blocked.
Has Dazn/NFL blocked Express VPN? if not, are there other ways for me to work this out?
Thanks,
Hi there,

Increase the volume up on the sportcasters that are calling the Packers vs. Vikings game. On TV, the (faux) volume of the stand fans/white noise is louder thus we can’t clearly hear the calls. Thank you.

Hello, I was bombed by NFL Game Pass that I can no longer get Game Pass in 2019 from Panama Central America where I live. I cover the Miami Dolphins for a living, so this puts me in a bind. I used the coaches cam on Game Pass regularly, so getting access to it , and the games is paramount to me smiling again. How can I get my former access back through your VPN? Just purchase, download, and then resign up for Game Pass? Thanks in advance.
Hi Michael,
Please try connecting to a U.S. server location and logging into your account. Domestic versions of NFL Game Pass include the All-22 Coaches Film. This feature may not be available to certain versions of the international Game Pass.

Hi Luke,
Did you purchase the U.S. Game Pass or the international Game Pass?
If you’re using the international Game Pass, you should have no problem watching the games. Please try connecting to a non-U.S. VPN location before watching one of the games.
If you bought the U.S. Game Pass, you won’t be able to watch any of the games live. However, you can use Sling or any of the other services mentioned above. They all come with a free trial.
Youtube will allow three changes of address then you just erase your account and sign in again and you will get three more address changes This is the way I received the NFL this year. I now better ways now! thanks for the ideas

Which router brand are you using? Try configuring it to run ExpressVPN (https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/#manual-router) before accessing Game Pass. You can also configure the DNS settings on your Xbox: https://www.expressvpn.com/support/vpn-setup/stream-to-xbox-one-with-dns/
I live in Los Angeles and I only want to watch the Philadelphia Eagles. How do I watch eagles game live from LA?
Hi Gil,
You can try NFL Game Pass’s “Follow Your Team” package. For the best prices, connect to a VPN location in Asia and then purchase/access the international Game Pass. Get the “Follow Your Team” package and select the Eagles. If you need guidance on which locations to use, please speak to Support: https://www.expressvpn.com/support/#open-chat
I live in Philly but want to watch the Dolphins. Can I do that with Gamepass? What other options are there?
Hi Zeke,
For Game Pass, connect to a VPN location in Asia and then purchase/access the international Game Pass. If you only want to follow the Dolphins, you can select the “Follow Your Team” package and save some money. If you need guidance on which locations to use, please speak to Support: https://www.expressvpn.com/support/#open-chat
Another option to check out is NFL Sunday Ticket. DirecTV offers NFL Sunday Ticket as a standalone product, but you’ll need to prove that your address doesn’t support DirecTV or that you live in a multi-unit residence (like an apartment).
Hope that helps!
Hello,
I’m from Germany and would like to watch all of the NFL games. Can I access the Gamepass with all of the live games from Germany?
Thanks,
Robert
Hi Robert,

Want to watch the Washington Redskins from Florida, however, it is out-of-market . I downloaded ExpressVPN. Since it’s out-of-market, I have to select a Location that is not in the US, correct? I selected Canada based on the speed test. Is that correct? Now, what is the next step? Thank you.
Hi Celeste,
Which streaming package are you using? Please try connecting to a location where Redskins games are part of the in-market coverage e.g. the Washington DC locations.
Hi there,
I want to know more about watching NFL game pass from Canada. Any other options besides DAZN? What’s the game pass price?
Thanks
Hi Brooke,
Outside of DAZN, you can watch the games for free on mobile by downloading the NFL Mobile app or the Yahoo Sports app. Be sure to connect to a U.S. location before watching.
Otherwise, you can connect to an overseas location to purchase the international game pass. Good locations to try are Australia, Hong Kong, and Malaysia.
Why is it necessary to use the Browser extension when watching a game? I have been using Express VPN without the Browser extension on my computer for some time now, am I exposing my location by doing so??
Hi Jimmy,
Some content and stream providers have started to block content based on the geolocation of users. The ExpressVPN browser extension prevents your browser from revealing your location and can help you access streams with privacy, no matter where you are.
Using the browser extension is not necessary for many sites, but for others, this will ensure an interruption-free streaming experience.
I recently purchased NFL Game Pass, to watch the Kansas City Chiefs games while overseas. I didn’t realize the restrictions on watching overseas, so I just bought ExpressVPN, hoping that I can make it look like I’m still in the US. However, when I try to access the games, I am still having issues. In theory, should I be able to use ExpressVPN to watch the games outside of the US? If so, do you know what might be going wrong?
Hi Garrett,
Which device are you trying to watch the games on? If you’re trying to watch on Windows or Mac, make sure you’re connected to the VPN and are using the ExpressVPN browser extension. If you’re on mobile, make sure you’re connected to the VPN and try to disable location sharing.

hi,
i’ll be travelling next month and want to watch the nfl while i’m in the uk. what’s the best way to watch?
Hi Steve,
To watch in the UK, try watching the games via the NFL app or the Yahoo Sports app. Remember to connect to a location in the U.S. before downloading the apps and make sure you’re still connected when watching the games.
Hello
I live in Philadelphia but want to watch The Green Bay Packers games. How would I do that?
Thank you
Hi Allie,
You can try watching the games using the Verizon or Yahoo Sports apps. Due to in-market restrictions, make sure you’re connected to a VPN location that’s showing the game or the nearest available location.
I am also going to try this. I connected to a local VPN, but the yahoo sports app still says the game is not available in my location. Does that have to do with my phone GPS? Or is it because the game doesn’t start until tomorrow?
Hi Brian,
For best results, please try turning off your mobile location. You may also want to try connecting to a server location that’s closer to the game broadcast.
I have trying to figure out how to watch the Colts for the past 2 years I have lived in Montana. The only teams that they ever play here are Seattle, Denver, Green Bay, Minnesota, and the nationally televised games. I’ve only gotten to watch 2 Colts games live in 2 years and one of the times I was actually in Texas. I’ve tried the VPN on my phone, Xbox one, laptop, and Roku Smart TV. All trying to use the NFL app. And I’ve also tried free trials of Sling, Fubo, YouTube, and just about anything else on all my devices and even being connected to the VPN it still only offers me the same teams/games. What would you recommend I try? And what location would be best for me to try and connect to? Thanks
Hi Ian,
The best way to avoid blackouts is to connect to a non-U.S. location and buy the international version of NFL Game Pass. For the best locations to connect to, please contact Support: https://www.expressvpn.com/support/#open-chat
Is there a way to do it without using international game pass? I really just want to watch one team so I don’t want to pay that much when I could possibly do it with a cheaper subscription.
I want to watch all NFL games via from my laptop or phone while I’m at work. If I purchase one of the 3 packages this will allow me to watch any and all NFL games? I especially only want to watch my Eagles. Please help!! Ty
Hi Jade,
It depends on where you are. Verizon (via the NFL Mobile and Yahoo Sports apps) offers free streams, but you’ll need to check if the Eagles are an in-market game for where you are. Otherwise, you can sign up for any of the other paid packages, just be sure to cancel before the free trial ends and catch any other games you’re missing on Twitch (for free!)
I want to watch NFL on my Vizio Smart TV and have a Roku player but no cable subscription. Will the purchase of the VPN allow me to use DAZN to stream the games to my TV?
Hi Richard,
To watch the DAZN stream, we recommend you connect to a Canadian server. You’ll likely need a Canadian card for the signup process. We haven’t had issues with people failing to access DAZN so far, but if you run into a hiccup, please contact Support: https://www.expressvpn.com/support/#open-chat
So, are you saying that even with an ExpressVPN account, I will need to have a cable subscription in order to live stream any and all of the events I wish to watch?
Hi Billy,
Not necessarily. This past season, Yahoo Sports offered free streams for the playoffs. Amazon offered free Thursday Night Football, while services like Sling TV showed regular season games and come with a free trial. With a VPN, a cable subscription is nice but not necessary 🙂
I’m from Philadelphia, but will be in Israel for the Superbowl. The hotel that I’m staying at says that they don’t have Fox Sports, so I need to live stream the event to my devices–my iPhone 7 plus and my pad, which is an Android. For the latter, I was going to use ExpressVPN and YouTube TV, which is what you were saying a few days ago. But now you are saying to download TV player and have a TV license. Do I really need a licence? How do I get one? If I have to download TV Player, do I have to select a UK server thru ExpressVPN? Will the option that you were originally suggesting NOT work, i.e., ExpressVPN, selecting a US server, and using YouTube TV?
As a back-up, I was going to use ExpressVPN on my cell phone, select a US server, and download the Yahoo Sports app. Will that work?
Please advise on both matters. Thanks!
Hi Sandra,
Seems like YouTube TV, Yahoo Sports, and BBC iPlayer (in that order) would be your best option. If you have further issues, please contact Support at https://www.expressvpn.com/support/troubleshooting/connect-windows-again/#open-chat
Good luck to the Eagles!
Great
What if you have the express CPN service yet don’t have a cable subscription?
Hi there,
ExpressVPN helps you access the various networks used to watch the NFL. However, you will need a cable subscription in order to watch the actual games. If you need guidance with which ExpressVPN servers to use, please get in touch with the support team at http://www.expressvpn.com/support/ 🙂
