How to Watch Vivo IPL 2020 Free Live Online?

The Indian Premier League will kick off on the 29th of March and round-up on May 24th, 2020. Cricket fans from all over the globe are following the T20 cricket action. How? Well, the sport has official broadcasters all around the world. However, these channels are only available in specific countries. But there’s a way around that. In this guide, we will show you how to unblock any of these channels so that you can stream IPL 13 live anywhere in the world.

IPL 2020 Streaming Channels

As we mentioned, the 2020 Vivo IPL has broadcasters mostly everywhere. Well, it is so popular globally after all. But there’s a catch. The channels broadcasting the season are restricted to their respective countries, which means that they don’t operate abroad.

If you’re a traveler or an ex-pat in a different country, your channel will block your access even if you have a valid subscription. You see, it’s all about your IP address as it is used by those services to determine your location.

Now, since you live abroad, you’ll lack the required IP address to your local service, which will result in an instant block. Well, that’s in the past as in this guide, you’ll learn how to unblock each and every channel on the list.

But for the time being, here’s a list of all major premium and free Indian Premier League streaming channels for 2020:

• Hotstar (India)
• Sky Go (UK, Premium)
• Now TV (UK, Premium)
• SuperSport (South Africa, Premium)
• beIN Sport (Middle East, Premium)
• Willow TV (USA)
• Willow TV (Canada)
• Fox Sports (Australia)

Now that you know what’s standing in your way, let’s head over to the part where we teach you how to circumvent the issue.

How to Watch IPL 2020 Anywhere

To kick it off, we must address the problem you’ll be facing. It’s called geo-blocking, where channels restrict access to a specific location according to copyright laws and agreements.

For example, there’s Hotstar – a streaming service only available to those residing in India. We’re located in Europe and based on our IP address, Hotstar gave us the following geo-error message:

“Coming soon to Europe! Hotstar.com is unavailable for residents in Europe. We continue to work through changes in light of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which went into effect May 25, 2018. We apologize for the inconvenience, and intend to launch our services in EU soon. Thank you for your patience.”

It can be quite disappointing if such a message pops up on your screen especially when you were all set for your IPL 13 cricket match. The error message appears Hotstar outside India.

But with a VPN, all of this can take a positive turn. A Virtual Private Network allows you to appear as if you’re browsing the web from a different country. That, of course, depends on the server you connect to.

Once you’re connected, the VPN shields your data with military-grade encryption and hides your IP address, granting you one in the country where the server is based.

If the server is in India, an Indian IP address you shall acquire. As a result, you can stream the 2020 IPL on Hotstar no matter where you are.

Please note that this works with all the channels on the list, provided you connect to a server in their respective countries.

Vivo IPL 2020 Anywhere – The Steps:

It’s not a hard task to do. All you need to do is follow the steps below, unblock your channel, and stream IPL 2020 anywhere:

1. First, you need to sign up with a VPN provider that has VPN servers in the countries above. In case you know none, we highly recommend ExpressVPN
2. Download the VPN app and install it on your Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac, or PC.
3. Once done, sign in with your account and head over to the server list.
4. Connect to a server according to the channel you’re using.
   1. US server for Willow TV.
   2. Indian server for Hotstar.
   3. Australian server for Fox Sports.
5. All that’s left to do is go to your channel’s website or launch to its dedicated app.
6. Stream the 2020 IPL live anywhere.

ExpressVPN is a VPN provider with fast VPN servers in more than 94 countries. Give them a try if you wish to any of the channels on our list. Moreover, ExpressVPN offers you a 30-day money-back guarantee, which allows you to take their service for a test drive before opting for a long-term subscription deal.

On the other hand, ExpressVPN isn’t the only provider capable of unblocking the channels. There are other VPNs with the same quality of service, but we recommended ExpressVPN since it matches everything in our evaluation criteria. Check out the other 3 VPNs we recommend.

The 2020 Indian Premier League

This year, you’ll be seeing a lot of changes. The transfers and the retention lists for the season were announced in November 2019. A total of 12 transfers between teams occurred during the 2020 transfer window.
