How to Stream the FIFA World Cup on Apple TV Using a VPN: Step-by-Step Guide

If you want to watch the FIFA World Cup 2026 on Apple TV from a region where the broadcast is unavailable or restricted, using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) can help you bypass these geographical blocks. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Choose a Reliable VPN

• Select a VPN service that supports streaming and has servers in countries where the FIFA World Cup stream is available (e.g., US, UK, Canada).
• Recommended VPNs: ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Surfshark.

2. Install the VPN

• Most VPNs do not offer apps directly for Apple TV.
• You will need to set up the VPN on your router or share a VPN connection from your computer or mobile device to your Apple TV.

Option A: VPN on Your Router

• Log in to your router’s admin panel (check your router’s manual for instructions).
• Follow your VPN provider’s guides for router installation. This connects all devices on your home network—including Apple TV—to the VPN.

Option B: VPN via SmartDNS on Apple TV

• Some VPNs offer a SmartDNS service (part of your VPN subscription).
• Get the SmartDNS IP addresses from your VPN provider.
• On your Apple TV: Go to Settings → Network → Wi-Fi → Choose your network → Configure DNS → Manual → Enter the SmartDNS IP.

Option C: Sharing VPN Connection

• Connect your computer or smartphone to the VPN, enable “Internet Sharing” or set up a mobile hotspot, and connect your Apple TV to this shared connection.

3. Connect to the Appropriate VPN Server

• Choose a server in a country where World Cup streaming is available via official platforms.

4. Open the Streaming App on Apple TV

• Launch the app (e.g., BBC iPlayer, Fox Sports, SBS On Demand), or download the relevant app for the country after connecting to the right VPN location.
