Watch ESPN will not work in Europe because it is geo-restricted.

The best way around this issue is to subscribe to a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service that will mask your IP address to make it look like you are in the United States.

Good luck.

This is what I am going to try. I'll be in South Africa and plan to wake up to watch the 2nd half of the MIami game. I;ve never used a VPN before so not sure how to do it but Ive downloaded Windscribe and going to give it a try.

We have a VPN to enable our son to watch European children's programing in the USA. It works pretty easily in that direction. Can't speak about the other way around as I've never tried to watch American sports when I was in Spain. I did listen to a few minutes of a radio call of a Tulane game once, through streaming. Didn't need a VPN for it

If all else fails, use First Row Sports and run a malware scan after the game ...

Sounds like a great plan but Im thinking more along the lines of Facetiming my cousin and having him point his ipad at his tv screen (not joking)

Yeah, I am fairly certain I can get the audio through LSUsports.net

I was able to last year for the Troy game while in Punta Cana

I’m outside the US always for work. I stream all sports on feed2all.eu, or firstrowsports. All free. Just google either. Be patient. Takes a couple minutes to figure it out. It’s totally free. I’ve been using both for about ten years.

You're 7 hours ahead, so night games mean you are on your own in your hotel or whatever... I'm into the no pay thing, so when I lived in Milan I always used firstrows.eu or something similar and just closed a bunch of ads to start. If you have good internet its not a problem... if you want a sports bar in northern Italy, good luck. There is a place call Rookies that tries to be a sports themed bar at the head of the Naviglio Grande, which is a cool area... but if its not soccer, it won't be crowded. Even then, Italians just nurse one beer for the whole game and leave as soon as the local game is over. However, the gal who owns Rookie's also owns a decent U.S. style diner down the street called Tizzie's. If you get a group of Americans and want to watch a game at Rookie's, she will reserve an area for you. Sky Sports broadcasts American football regularly in Europe,so you can watch at least some games live with a crew. Make sure you get up to the lakes if you are in northern Italy, though... are you in Milan?
