The 2022 NFL Pro Bowl will take place on Sunday, February 6 at 3 PM EST (12 PM PST / 8 PM GMT). The game will be played at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Didn’t get tickets to the game? Not to worry! In this post, we’ll cover all the options for streaming the NFL Pro Bowl. However, if you’re traveling abroad, you may need to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to bypass any geographic restrictions.
You should note that this post will only recommend official sources for watching the NFL Pro Bowl. Although unlicensed streams are almost inevitable for major sporting events, there’s no reason to use them. Firstly, they usually only offer low-resolution video, and there’s a good chance it’ll be laggy or on a delay. Also, the NFL will be taking down unofficial streams (and links to them) as the game progresses, so you may not even get to see who wins.
Most popular streaming services geo-block their content, preventing it from being accessed from countries outside of their broadcast area. To watch the NFL Pro Bowl on your usual services while abroad on vacation, you’ll need a VPN.
How to watch the NFL Pro Bowl online with a VPN
Unblocking geo-blocked content from abroad is actually fairly straightforward. Follow the steps below and you’ll be able to watch the NFL Pro Bowl while abroad.
Here’s how to live stream the NFL Pro Bowl from abroad using a VPN:
- Start by signing up for a suitable VPN. We recommend NordVPN but Surfshark and ExpressVPN are strong alternatives.
- Install the VPN app, making sure to download the correct version for your operating system.
- Decide which service you’d like to use and connect to a server in the appropriate location. For example, you’d need a US server to unblock ESPN or a UK server for Sky Sports.
- Try to access your chosen service. Content should now load almost immediately without geographic restrictions.
- Didn’t work? Try clearing your browser’s cache and cookies, then refreshing the page. Alternatively, change your IP address by connecting to another server.
As this is a live event, it’s important to make sure your VPN works beforehand. This reduces the risk of you missing any action and ensures that you’ll still have time to get help from your VPN’s customer support team if anything goes wrong.
How to watch the Pro Bowl online in the US
ABC and ESPN are both streaming the entire event live which means that cable TV subscribers can watch on either platform at no additional cost. Just sign in with your cable TV provider details (an email address or username and password) and you’ll be able to stream the Pro Bowl live.
There are no hidden terms - just contact support within 30 days if you decide NordVPN isn’t right for you and you’ll get a full refund. Start your NordVPN trial here.
Don’t have cable? You can also access the above services using a FuboTV, Hulu with Live TV, Sling TV, or YouTube TV account, so there’s no reason to miss one of the biggest matches of the year. Best of all, these over-the-top services include free trials. This means that if you sign up and cancel before the trial ends, you can effectively watch the 2022 Pro Bowl for free.
If you are abroad (outside the US), you can still watch the game by connecting to a VPN. We recommend NordVPN which includes a 30-day money-back guarantee so if you’re unsatisfied, you can claim a full refund.
