MLS Live Blackouts – Initial Thoughts
MLS Soccer can be watched online using the following devices Apple TV, Roku, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Android, Windows 8. As per MLS blackouts apply in the following countries USA and Canada.
“MLS LIVE is available in the United States and Canada. The service is not available to fans living or traveling outside of the U.S. and Canada. All nationally televised matches are blacked out but are available 48 hours after the match in the archives. Local broadcast blackouts are set by the clubs and their broadcast partners.”
Avoid MLS Live Blackout – VPN Fix
VPN is a different story, this technology takes all your traffic, then encrypts it and sends it to a VPN server and all your traffic appears to be coming from that country. So if you want to use VPN you have to choose a VPN server in a US state where the game you want to watch isn’t blacked out on MLS Live. Another few features of VPN can be seen below :
- All traffic is encrypted, all traffic goes through one country. Your ISP can not eavesdrop on you, and your ISP does not know the final destination of your traffic. Basically, you are anonymous.
- VPN is resistant to most if not all ISP blocks, firewalls, and restrictions. This includes DNS Hijacking and Transparent Proxies “If your ISP uses those you cant use Smart DNS”
- Easy to setup and use thanks to VPN apps for PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Android.
- You can change your IP address to any country you want.
I personally do use a VPN Provider called ExpressVPN, mainly because they have VPN locations all over the USA. They do have easy to use apps for Android, Mac, IOS, and Windows as well. So all you have to do is signup, download and install the app.

How to Unblock MLS Live outside USA or Canada with VPN
“You are accessing MLS Live from a restricted territory. MLS Live is not available outside the United States and Canada.” If you have ever tried to watch MLS Live in UK, Australia, France, Mexico, or elsewhere abroad, you probably have seen this error message already.
You can also use these above. steps to unblock MLS Live anywhere outside USA or Canada. In other words, American expats who currently live abroad cannot access MLS Live due to the fact it’s geo-blocked. VPN allows you to access MLS Live overseas as well.
Can I Use VPN to Bypass Other Blackouts As Well?
Yes, absolutely. You can avoid blackout restrictions that apply to MLB.TV, NHL.TV, NFL Game Pass, NBA League Pass and even ESPN3, NBC Sports, and Fox Sports. All you need is a VPN connection.
Can I Use Free VPNs to Avoid Blackout Restrictions?
Well, there are some free VPN services out there, but after having tried them out over the years, I wouldn’t really recommend them to anybody. The reason for this is mainly that free VPN servers are always overloaded. As a result, live streams will buffer to such an extent that your viewing experience will become unbearable. Not to mention the fact most free VPNs are full of malicious malware that your streaming device is surely better off without.

Installed Android ExpressVPN. Chose Mexico. Fired up MLS Live. No profits. Still blacked out.
Give the free trial at Unlocator a try, should work for sure. Not sure about Android though as it might use GPS instead.
What you said about the use of the GPS gave me an idea. I used an Android app that faked the GPS position. It worked last weekend. I’ll try it again this weekend. The app is a much cheaper solution than Unlocator.
