How to Stream the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023 Outside of the United States

If you’re living or traveling outside of the United States, you’ll need a virtual private network (VPN) to stream from live TV cable replacement services like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, fubo TV, Sling TV, and DirecTV Stream. A VPN routes your web traffic through servers making it appear like your IP address is in a different location — basically, it lets you access geo-protected convent otherwise not available to stream in your area.

For example, you can use a VPN while sitting in the United Kingdom to make apps or websites think you’re located somewhere in the US. Our favorite VPNs include NordVPN, Private Internet Access, and ExpressVPN. To use a VPN for some web traffic but not all, check out the best VPNs for split tunneling.

The Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the best Fire TV device for most people, however the Fire TV Cube is the most powerful Firestick. Our favorite Roku device is the Roku Ultra, but we also recommend the wallet-friendly Roku Stick 4K+.
