Can I Use a VPN to Unblock BBC iPlayer Outside the UK?

Some VPN users connect to a server in the UK to watch BBC iPlayer from outside the country, but this is against our terms of service and is not acceptable.

CyberGhost is a privacy-forward No Logs VPN, meaning we can't view your online activity and we never share your browsing data. While we don't know what you're doing online, you should always comply with BBC iPlayer's terms of use, our terms of service, and any applicable law, including copyright.

Where Is BBC iPlayer Available?

BBC iPlayer is only available in the UK. If you travel outside the country, you can use CyberGhost VPN to keep watching.

Some other BBC services, including BBC Sounds, BBC Podcasts, BBC News, and BBC Sport, are available in more than 200 countries worldwide.
