Can I Use a VPN to Watch the NHL Outside the US?
Some NHL fans connect to a VPN server in the US to watch on DirecTV Stream, ESPN+, or Hulu. While we don't snoop on our users' online activity, this is against our terms of service and is not acceptable.
Rest assured that CyberGhost VPN never logs your browsing data and your activity is always private, but you should always comply with all relevant terms and applicable law, including copyright.

How to Bypass NHL Blackout Restrictions
ESPN+ (US)
ESPN+ blacks out NHL games when your local TV network airs a game. This may also happen to a few nationally-broadcast games.
If you’re an international ESPN customer, you may also encounter blackouts if the game is broadcast on your region’s NHL partner network.
Don’t wait until the replay to find out who wins! Connect to a VPN server in a different location to watch the live action! CyberGhost VPN has a large fleet of US servers in 11 cities.
Sportsnet NOW (Canada)
You need to be within certain broadcast areas to watch specific games on Sportsnet NOW. Otherwise, you can upgrade to an SN NOW Premium subscription to view out-of-market games.
Traveling abroad during a game? Connect to one of CyberGhost VPN’s servers in Canada. You’ll get a Canadian IP address so you can live stream your home team’s games live.
NHL.TV (outside US and Canada)
Expect blackout restrictions if the NHL partner network in your area broadcasts the games. Restrictions may also apply based on your IP address.
If you’re vacationing in a blacked-out region, connect to a CyberGhost VPN server in a location where the game’s available. We change your IP address so you’re not limited to the games you can watch based on your current location.
2022-23 NHL Schedule
After a 2-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the NHL has once again started holding games in Europe. 32 teams are all set to flaunt their agility and impressive maneuvers with their puck-handling skills.
The Colorado Avalanche grabbed the throne last season, after breaking Tampa Bay Lightning’s two-year streak as the Stanley Cup Finals champion. The current season’s standings show Carolina Hurricanes, Boston Bruins, Dallas Stars, and Vegas Golden Knights getting ahead in their own divisions.
Let’s see which team will maintain their rankings and skate their way toward the playoffs!

Watch NHL Securely on Public Wi-Fi
Free public Wi-Fi makes it extra convenient for you to follow your team’s game from face-off to overtime. However, most Wi-Fi hotspots are unsecured. Connecting to these can leave you vulnerable to cybercriminals keen on stealing your data.
Enable CyberGhost VPN’s Wi-Fi protection feature to live stream NHL securely on any Wi-Fi connection. The feature automatically switches on your VPN the moment you join an unsecured network.
In case you unexpectedly disconnect from our secure VPN tunnel, the Kill Switch blocks your internet traffic. This protects you from data leaks.
FAQ
You can, but you’ll probably regret it. Free VPNs have few and overcrowded servers, so you’ll have a hard time connecting to your chosen streaming platform. When you do, server congestion will likely slow your connection and give you poor streaming quality.
Try CyberGhost VPN instead with our 45-day money-back guarantee. Connect to our vast fleet of high-speed servers worldwide to live stream the NHL.
