How to use a VPN to watch Olympics rowing from anywhere
If you’re travelling overseas and try to watch your domestic coverage as you would at home, you’ll soon encounter a problem – geo-blocking. That’s where the broadcaster prevents you from watching your usual feed from abroad.
There is a way to take your regular broadcaster with you, however. By downloading and installing a VPN, you can effectively trick your computer into thinking that it’s back on home turf. The tech experts at our sister title, TechRadar, have done extensive testing of the best VPN service and Nord VPN consistently comes out on top.
Using a VPN is as easy as one-two-three…
1. Download and install a VPN – as we say, the top choice according to the experts at TechRadar is NordVPN.
2. Connect to the appropriate server location – open the VPN app, hit ‘choose location’ and select the appropriate location, eg: ‘Australia’ for 9Now.
3. Go to the broadcaster’s stream – head to your home broadcaster’s site or app and watch as if you were at home – 9Now for Aussies abroad.
How to watch Olympic rowing live streams in the UK
If you live in the UK and want to watch every single bit of the action from the Olympic rowing live you will need to head to Discovery+. Thanks to a special Olympics offer you can subscribe to the Standard plan for £3.99 per month (a huge saving on the usual £6.99) until 11 August. This will get you access to every moment of Paris 2024, including all of the rowing taking place at the Vaires-sur-Marne Nautical Stadium.
There is also a free option. As is traditionally the case, you’ll be able to watch Olympics live streams for free on the BBC via BBC One, BBC Two, the BBC Red Button and the BBC iPlayer – as long as you have a valid TV Licence. Unfortunately, BBC coverage is limited to two streams at any one time, so if the broadcaster’s cameras are on other sports, you’ll have to watch Olympic rowing live streams elsewhere.
