As you&#8217;d expect, Wimbledon coverage is syndicated to lots of TV channels all over the world. You can even watch it on a few media stations online, but in my opinion there&#8217;s only one real option to enjoy the unique atmosphere and that&#8217;s to watch it on the BBC. On their web site during the tournament there&#8217;s the majority of the matches streamed live and you even get John McEnroe included too, although of course we won&#8217;t be seeing Boris Becker

id=\"Watching_the_Wimbledon_Tennis_Tournament_Outside_UK\"><\/span>Watching the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament Outside UK<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>However, there is a problem for me and the thousands who love the Wimbledon Tournament and want to <a href=\"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/how-to-stream-bbc-in-the-usa\/\">watch it on the BBC<\/a>. That is that although all this coverage is freely available on the BBC&#8217;s website it&#8217;s only available if you&#8217;re inside the UK. If you visit the BBC website from anywhere else, you&#8217;ll actually be on the &#8216;International&#8217; version which you can tell because it will have adverts on it. If you visit the TV link from this site, all you&#8217;ll get is promotional stuff and a few trailers &#8211; you won&#8217;t be able to watch anything live at all.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/bbcwimbledonstreaming.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-154 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/bbcwimbledonstreaming.jpg\" alt=\"bbcnewslive\" width=\"500\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/bbcwimbledonstreaming.jpg 999w, https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/bbcwimbledonstreaming-300x160.jpg 300w, https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/bbcwimbledonstreaming-900x480.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"BBC_Uses_Geo-Location_to_Block_Non-UK_Visitors\"><\/span>BBC Uses Geo-Location to Block Non-UK Visitors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The practice is called geo-location (or geo-blocking\/filtering) and it involves looking up a visitor&#8217;s location when they arrive at a website. Almost every web site does this, although most of them just use this information for research and marketing purposes.<\/p>\n<p>However, many of the larger websites particularly in certain areas like media, finance, retail and gambling will use this information to control what you can see on the site. So, in the case of the BBC, they use this technology to allow all UK domestic visitors to use the site freely. However, all visitors from the US or indeed anywhere outside the UK will be routed to the international version. They&#8217;ll also be blocked from <a href=\"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/how-to-watch-itv-hub-in-usa\/\">watching any Live TV channels<\/a> or streaming from BBC iPlayer too.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_the_IP_Address_the_BBC_Site_Sees\"><\/span>Change the IP Address the BBC Site Sees!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The key to geo-location is your IP address, the unique network number which allows access to the internet. These can easily be used to determine your location as they are always registered to the country in which they are used.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, you have no control over this address as it&#8217;s assigned by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or the internet connection you&#8217;re using. You certainly can&#8217;t request a British IP or a French IP address to use instead. However, there is a way to change the IP address that these websites see and hence bypass all of these blocks and filters.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_a_VPN_to_Switch_Location\"><\/span>Using a VPN to Switch Location<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>So, there is a solution and fortunately it&#8217;s actually quite simple, just watch this video which shows you how an online IP changer works.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3i-sKaNB9oA\" width=\"760\" height=\"515\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center><br \/>\nAs the video explains all you need to do is hide your real location by connecting through a UK server somewhere. This means that the BBC thinks you&#8217;re actually located in the United Kingdom and will route you through to the fully functional BBC website where you can watch anything you like without restrictions.\u00a0 It also means you can watch the other great <a href=\"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/how-to-watch-british-tv-in-america-on-your-computer\/\">UK TV channels<\/a> abroad<a href=\"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/itvplayer-usa\/\"> like ITV Hub<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/watch-channel-4-online-abroad\/\">Channel 4 too<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Click_Another_Country_to_Watch_Other_Stations\"><\/span>Click Another Country to Watch Other Stations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>We love the BBC&#8217;s coverage of Wimbledon but there are lots of other options too. Many other countries have TV stations which cover the major Tennis tournaments, and you can watch a lot of those too.<\/p>\n<p>Not all are free like the BBC iPlayer though and although a VPN will avoid geo-blocks it won&#8217;t bypass the need to subscribe. There are plenty of free to air options though &#8211; check out Australian, Canadian and New Zealand TV channels. If you can speak another language, you have even more options. In the UK there are some streaming channels on the betting site where you can watch the coverage too if you connect to the corresponding country.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Choose_the_Right_VPN_Service_to_Watch_BBC_Wimbledon_Live\"><\/span>Choose the Right VPN Service to Watch BBC Wimbledon Live<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although the <a href=\"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/how-to-use-bbc-download-abroad\/\">BBC iPlayer<\/a> is free you will need to pay for a VPN service if you&#8217;re outside of the UK. The subscription does cost something in order to pay for the fast servers, bandwidth and support but most of them are very inexpensive. In fact, for little more than the cost of a coffee every month you can get a great VPN with servers all over the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/nord\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1523 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/aff2-threat-protection-729x90-en.png\" alt=\"Nord for BBC Tennis \" width=\"729\" height=\"90\" srcset=\"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/aff2-threat-protection-729x90-en.png 729w, https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/aff2-threat-protection-729x90-en-300x37.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The best companies have software which also works on smart phones, tablets and laptops plus quite a few other devices. Check out the different providers for what they support. I personally use <a href=\"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/nord\">NordVPN<\/a> which I have installed on my iPad, computer and smart phone plus mainly use on a laptop if I&#8217;m travelling.\u00a0 It works well with the BBC (especially if you use the BBC optimized servers) and is very reasonably priced too.\u00a0 \u00a0During the football season I use it all the time to <a href=\"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/enjoy-a-match-of-the-day-stream-from-anywhere\/\">watch the Match of the Day live stream<\/a> on Saturday night and for midweek matches &#8211; works a treat.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Many_VPNs_are_Now_Blocked_by_the_BBC\"><\/span>Many VPNs are Now Blocked by the BBC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Previously any VPN service which has UK servers would work perfectly for accessing the BBC iPlayer outside the UK. However, this is no longer the case as the BBC started to try and block this VPN workaround in around 2020. We won&#8217;t explain the method here &#8211; although if you want to read more about it you <a href=\"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/bbc-block-vpn-connection\/\">can on this page<\/a>. The fact is they were extremely successful, and the majority of VPNs won&#8217;t work with the BBC iPlayer anymore.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few like NordVPN that still work fine. It&#8217;s worth checking if you&#8217;re going to subscribe for a long period, or at least make sure there&#8217;s some money back guarantee available if it doesn&#8217;t. Make sure you try everything out before the tennis starts too if you want to enjoy the whole tournament.<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BBC iPlayer Wimbledon 2022 is nearly here. \u00a0 Here&#8217;s how to watch the BBC coverage for free anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"no","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uk-tv"],"modified_by":"dotslash","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=153"}],"version-history":[{"count":28,"href":"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2498,"href":"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/153\/revisions\/2498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iplayerusa.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
