World Cup 2022 – The Streaming Channels

The World Cup is, without a doubt, the biggest sporting event in the world. Billions of viewers, regardless of their region, tune in to see what 32 of the best national teams can do when they clash together.

The excitement is there, and the broadcasting rights are also there. FIFA made sure that everyone gets to see the action by cutting deals with major services across the globe. Now, as we mentioned, some are free and some are premium.

With BulletVPN, you’ll have the option to access any of them. But that’s something we’ll be discussing later on in the guide. As for now, here are the 2022 World Cup’s official broadcasters:

We deliberately separated the channels to showcase that there are a lot of them that offer the entire competition for free. Now, despite the wide variety of streaming services, geo-blocking still applies. We’re going to address that in the next part, followed by the step-by-step guide to unblocking each and every one of them.

The Geo-Blocking Predicament

When it comes to online streaming, things aren’t as easy as they may seem. Channels have broadcasting rights, which prohibit them from distributing their content in certain regions. That’s why geo-blocking exists.

The mechanism relies on your IP address. Once you launch a certain website or service, it will examine your IP to determine your location. If you live outside its coverage area, you’ll be blocked on the spot.

For example, BBC iPlayer only operates in the United Kingdom. In other words, you need to be a UK resident (UK IP Address) to access the channel’s content. If you live abroad, such an IP is exactly what you lack, resulting in an error message that looks like the following:

“BBC iPlayer only works in the UK. Sorry, it’s due to rights issues.”

So basically, the issue here is your IP address, which you can easily change using BulletVPN. If you want to know how to bypass geo-restrictions and watch the 2022 World Cup wherever you are, make sure to go through the next part.

Channels Unblocked – World Cup Live Anywhere with BulletVPN

BulletVPN is first and foremost an online tool that helps elevate your security and privacy while browsing the web. Once you establish a connection, BulletVPN shields your data using military-grade encryption, which deems it unreadable by any third party that might try to intercept it.

Moreover, once you connect to a server, BulletVPN will cloaks your IP address. Not only does it anonymize your browsing activities, but it also grants you a temporary IP address in the region where the server is located.

In other words, you’ll be able to access any website/service exclusive to that region wherever you may be. It’s a very easy task. In the steps below, we’re using BBC iPlayer as an example as it’s a free channel. But please note that the process works with any of the channels in the list above provided you connect to a server in their respective countries.

With that said, here’s what you need to do:

Subscribe to BulletVPN.
Download and install the BulletVPN application.
Activate the client and sign in with your credentials.
Connect to a UK server (If BBC iPlayer is your choice).
Launch BBC iPlayer’s website or application.
Sign in with your free BBC account.
Stream the 2022 World Cup anywhere.

With BulletVPN, you can connect to more than 150 servers across 55 countries. That means you can unblock almost every single channel broadcasting the 2022 World Cup. If BBC iPlayer, for instance, is not your choice, just connect to an Australian server and watch the matches on SBS. It’s also free.

Also, with BulletVPN, you get to try out the service before making any decision. A 30-day refund policy is provided, so there’s no risk in signing up. Not only that, but new customers also get a free trial.
