How to Watch IPL 2019 Free Live Online?

How to watch IPL 2019 free live online? The Indian Premier League will kick off on March 23rd. Cricket fans from all over the globe are following the T20 cricket action. In India, Hotstar has exclusive broadcasting rights. If you are an IPL fan living in USA, UAE, UK, Australia, Canada, Pakistan, however, Hotstar is geo-blocked. In this guide, I will show you how to unblock Hotstar outside India using VPN. Thus, you’ll be able to stream IPL 2019 free live online anywhere in the world.

IPL 2019 Streaming Channels

Here’s the list of all major premium and free Indian Premier League streaming channels for 2019:

• Hotstar (India)
• Sky Go (UK, Premium)
• Now TV (UK, Premium)
• SuperSport (South Africa, Premium)

How to Watch IPL 2019 on Hotstar outside India

For those who are not familiar with the Hotstar geo-location error, it reads something like this:

“Content Unavailable. The content currently unavailable in your region.”

It can be quite disappointing if such a message pops up on your screen especially when you were all set for your IPL 10 cricket match. The error message might be appearing because you are trying to access Hotstar outside India without a VPN. In order to live stream IPL 2019 for free in the USA, Canada, Australia, UK, Pakistan, or elsewhere overseas, follow the steps below.

1. First, you need to sign up with a VPN provider which has VPN servers in India.
2. Set up VPN on your Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac, or PC by downloading and installing the VPN app.
3. Once done, connect to an Indian VPN server. This will allow you to get an Indian IP address.
4. All that’s left to do is go to the Hotstar website or launch to the Hotstar app and watch any video you want.
5. The same process unblocks other Indian streaming channels like StarSports, Voot, SonyLiv outside India.

ExpressVPN is a VPN provider with fast Indian VPN servers. Give them a try if you wish to unblock Hotstar outside India. I’ve also tested the following VPN providers to watch Hotstar in UK, Canada, USA, or Australia.
