re: Live abroad for a year+, how would you set up TV watching?

I have lived in Berlin for almost 5 years now. Here's just a few of the things that I do.
1. ESPN Player - This works without VPN internationally. It let's you watch all sporting events on any ESPN related network. This includes replays and of course live events. It costs $13.99/month but generally works good.
2. Pluto TV - This is free. If you want the English programming then you have to VPN into the US. Then everything is in English. It's mostly old reruns, but a quick rundown of some things that I watch are a)Deal or no deal b) Jersey Shore reruns c) South Park d) The Honeymooners d) Swamp People. There is a lot more. It's also good if you are learning another language. You can VPN into that country and get that language. For example, I've used it to watch South Park in German and Spanish.
3. Netflix works without a VPN.
4. The Peacock app works with a VPN.
5. Disney+ works without a VPN.
6. I pay for the NBA Leauge Team Pass to watch the Pelicans.
Of course in a pinch, you can always find a stream for something. For me it's the plus 6-7 hour time difference that causes an issue.
If you have any questions, I will do my best to answer them based on my expeierences. Hope this helps.

When you say Netflix without VPN, you mean for the country you're in though, right? So there will be some US shows that aren't going to be there? Thanks for the info on ESPN and the others. I will save this post and hopefully you'll see if I ping you down the line
ETA: how have you done on LSU football games over these last 5 years? And yes, I know the time difference is a big factor, so what's been your play?
