Can I use a VPN to watch the NRL in another country?
Some NRL viewers may use a VPN server in the UK to watch on Channel 4 or a server in Australia to watch on 9Now. You should be aware that doing so may violate copyright law and go against PIA’s terms of service.
PIA VPN puts your privacy first and we never keep tabs on our users’ activity. In fact, when you use PIA, even we can’t see what you’re using it for. That said, we support the media industry and urge you to carefully read your streaming platform’s terms and conditions.
Why Watch NRL with a VPN?
You want to focus on the game and watch NRL live without any distractions or interruptions.
But connection issues, ISP throttling, and content blocks on public Wi-Fi, work, or school networks can stop you from enjoying the match. Even worse, national Rugby streams are an attractive target for cybercriminals. Watching NRL live streams without a VPN could expose your data to crooks.
Securely stream live NRL matches buffer-free at work, school, or anywhere else you’d like with PIA VPN.
How to Watch NRL for Free
9Now shows NRL Rugby for free in Australia, Channel 4 and the BBC broadcast it free in the UK, and FTV has free coverage in France. You can also check your local TV channels and see if they carry NRL matches.
If you prefer to watch online, these networks also have free streaming services: All 4, BBC iPlayer, and FranceTV. PIA has servers in Australia, the UK, and France, so you’ll be able to watch for free with a VPN, even if you’re traveling outside those countries.
Finally, wherever you are in the world, you can use YouTube TV’s free 14-day trial to watch NRL rugby live free until your trial period ends.
