Offering the best in live sports and entertainment, fuboTV has a great variety of streaming content from more than 100 channels.
However, geographical restrictions mean that Fubo.tv/connect is only accessible to viewers in the US. Frustrating, yes, but easy to work around with a premium VPN.
A quality VPN can assign you the US IP address you need to overcome fuboTV’s geoblocks and access the streaming service from anywhere in the world.
Keep reading to find out how to use a VPN to unblock Fubo.tv/connect. You’ll also learn about some additional benefits of using a VPN. Then I go through my recommendations of the best VPNs for accessing fuboTV.
Why You Need a VPN to Watch fuboTV
Due to licensing issues, fuboTV can only stream its content in the US. Therefore, the site has geo-restrictions in place that block your access if you don’t have a US IP address.
To unblock fuboTV, you need to mask your actual IP address and obtain a US IP address. You can do both of these things with a premium VPN.
A VPN encrypts your data, hides your IP address, and assigns you a US IP address when you connect a US server. You can now unblock fuboTV from wherever you are.
Choose a premium VPN with an impressive global network of servers and you’ll get access to hundreds if not thousands of regularly updated IP addresses with plenty of options to unblock fuboTV.
The more IP addresses a VPN has, the likelier it is to overcome geoblocks and anti-VPN software.

Why do I need to set a Home Network?
Setting your home network, designates the network as "home" for our Unlimited Streams add-on. Unlimited Streams allows you to stream on up to 10 supported devices, connected to your home network.
Why can’t I set my network as the Home Network?
If you’re using a mobile hotspot, satellite internet, or shared/public Wi-Fi network, it cannot be set as your home network.
I travel a lot. Can I watch fuboTV outside of my home network?
You can watch Fubo.tv/connect anywhere in the U.S. If you’re watching somewhere other than your home Wi-Fi, the channels and content you can stream may vary depending on your physical location.
While travelling, you can watch the same national channels and regional sports networks as usual, but your local channels will vary based on your physical location.
