How to watch rugby online with a VPN

Bypass streaming restrictions on restricted Wi-Fi networks and live stream rugby matches from anywhere.

  1. Get ExpressVPN.
  2. Connect to a server location that matches the broadcaster you want to watch. For example, Aussie rugby fans can connect to a server in Australia to watch free matches on 9now.
  3. Enjoy live rugby action!

Why you need a VPN to watch rugby live online

Your internet provider might slow down your connection when it detects streaming activity, leading to buffering or a drop in picture quality. When you connect to a VPN server, it encrypts your internet traffic, preventing your ISP from monitoring your online activity. This allows you to bypass throttling and watch the rugby matches with your usual connection speed.

If you’re at work or school, or using a network that blocks streaming services, you don’t have to miss out on any of the action. A VPN’s encryption helps you unblock platforms that stream live sports, so you can watch rugby matches no matter where you are. Don’t miss a single ruck, maul, or tackle—get ready for uninterrupted rugby action wherever you are.

ExpressVPN is a top pick for rugby fans, offering a global network of servers in 105 countries.

A single account supports up to 8 devices at once, so while you’re enjoying the game-winning penalty kick on your smart TV, your family can stream their own content on other devices without interruption.

  5. ExpressVPN does not work with RTE, and has not been working for a while. I have been trying for weeks and missed a number of occasions. The website detects the proxy address, as I believe the IP is recognised. Will it work for the Japan Ireland game today?

  6. Unfortunately ExpressVPN do not have enough bandwidth for big occasions like this.
    I am subscribed for over a year, with good results, but you need more servers

Your advice would be appreciated.

  12. Hi Patrick,

    To watch the games, you simply need to know which country is the «home» team for the match. To watch the home games for France, Scotland, and Wales, head to TVPlayer or TVCatchup and select BBC. For the other nations, select ITV.

    If you any issues watching the streams, please contact Support here: https://www.expressvpn.com/support/#open-chat

  16. Hi!
    Does ExpressVPN work with DSTVNow (https://now.dstv.com/) on my Windows 10 Notebook? I am from South Africa and reside in the California but would like to watch my Supersport Channels, etc on DSTVNow. I have a DSTV Account (ie: login).

    I also need to know if I can use the Chrome or Firefox ExpressVPN Extension to watch on https://now.dstv.com/ instead of the your main APP because I dont want it to interfere with my Amazon Prime Account in the US. In other words, I will be using Firefox with your VPM extension for DSTV and Chrome without your extension for US based accounts like Amazon Prime.

    Thanks!

    Regards
    Shafique

    Awaiting your prompt respond.

  18. Hi Joe,

    With a VPN, you can view Rugby League World Cup streams from a variety of countries.

    We’ve listed 5 sites in the «How to watch the Rugby League World Cup with a VPN» section above. Check them out and let Support know if you have issues! (www.expressvpn.com/support/)

  19. Hi,

    I am planning to watch the Rugby League World Cup beginning in the next 2 to 3 days co hosted by Australia/NZ and PNG.

    I am in Micronesia (South West Pacific)

    I have downloaded the VPN express.

    What is the best sit to stream and watch? Can you attach their URL here. Thanks

  20. To watch everything yes. But sometimes broadcasters show matches for free (e.g. For showed the Super Bowl for American Football free of charge), so it would be a good idea to check the site of the broadcaster and see if they’re airing your favorite matches for free 🙂

  21. Hi there,

    If you’re looking for a British broadcast, Sky TV is the way to go. We don’t advise watching free streams since they are almost always low quality and can present a range of internet risks. Besides, a VPN is perfect for watching any online TV show 🙂

  22. I’m in India and want to watch the rugby. Do i also need subscription to SKY TV? Whats best way for me to get the rugby without having to pay for VPN and subscription to a broadcaster?

  23. Hi John,

    Sounds like a case where ExpressVPN can help! Just use ExpressVPN and connect to an Irish server, and you’ll be all set 🙂

  24. Hi Richard,

    No problem! ExpressVPN does not prevent you from connecting to any web service. In fact, ExpressVPN can help you access your favorite web services from anywhere in the world at high speeds and with added security.

    Just connect to an ExpressVPN server in a country where the service is available, and you’re all set!
