The playoffs are kicking in, which means that in less than a month the country will stop once again to pay homage to the classic Super Bowl. The 2017 edition will be played in the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas on February 5th. As it happens every year, TV broadcast is assured on American territory and throughout the world too via international channels or internet streams. However, many Super Bowl fans outside the United States will most likely be left out since most websites still disallow foreigners to watch their content. Fortunately, there is a simple service that will put you in the front row, despite the country you live in.
The United States’ cultural history could not be told without mentioning the Super Bowl. The event is currently the most watched in the U.S. with over 100 million viewers, and the second most watched in the world – only after the UEFA Champions League soccer final. Super Bowl Sunday is considered by many an unofficial national holiday and others simply wait for the always remarkable half time show.
Originally created to determine the ultimate champion, the match is a final between the NFC (National Football Conference) and the AFC (American Football Conference) winners to crown the previous season’s NFL champion. NFC teams have a slight lead having lifted the trophy for 26 times, while AFC representatives won 24 times. The Pittsburgh Steelers are the recordists with 6 victories.
The event’s first edition dates back to January 15, 1967 – at the time it was still called the AFL-NFL World Championship Game – following the 1966 regular season with the NFL’s Green Bay Packers pulling the historical first victory. Now, over half a century later, who will lift the trophy at Super Bowl LI?
The Super Bowl is not an American exclusive. All around the world millions of fans wait in great anxiety for Super Bowl Sunday, which gives many TV channels a chance of bringing the match overseas. In the U.S., FOX is the one in charge of bringing the match to everyone’s TV. British Super Bowl fans will have to tune in to Sky Sports. Australian broadcast will be assured by Seven Network, while in Africa the match is live on Super Sport. Furthermore, many of the aforementioned have their own internet streams, although you’ll most likely find them geo-blocked outside the territory they belong to.
This is where a VPN’s magic will come in handy. A VPN – short for Virtual Private Network – allows you to virtually change your location in order to access the world’s prime content. All you need is to choose your favorite VPN provider and connect to a server located in a country where geo-blocks are not applied – the U.S. will be your best bet for the Super Bowl here. Furthermore, VPNs provide top-notch protection of your online data and give you the chance of hiding your virtual footsteps, even for your own ISP.
