If you live in the UK, Australia, or Canada, you can look forward to a free live stream of the 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships.

In the UK, it's the free-to-air BBC and its streaming service BBC iPlayer, in Australia it's SBS Viceland and its streaming service SBS on Demand, and in Canada it's CBC Sports and its streaming service CBC Gem, because they each have broadcasting rights.

But what if you live in one of these countries and are not home to watch the free broadcast of the World Athletics Indoor Championships? Maybe you are on vacation and don't want to spend money on pay TV in another country when you would normally be able to watch it for free at home.

Don't worry - you can watch via VPN instead. Here's how to do it.

It's natural to want to watch the World Athletics Indoor Championships live stream from your home country, but what if you're not on site during the event?

Nothing beats a VPN, or virtual private network, which makes it appear as if you are surfing the Internet from your home country, not the country you are in. That means you can access the streaming services you've already paid for from anywhere on the planet. Or at least, anywhere you have an Internet connection.

For example, Australians currently in the US can watch a live stream of the World Athletics Indoor Championships on SBS On Demand for free, even though they are not in Oz.

VPNs are perfectly legal, inexpensive, and easy to use. We tested the best VPN services and right now our favorite is ExpressVPN. It is fast, works with a variety of devices, and has a 30-day money back guarantee.

Using a VPN is incredibly easy.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we have mentioned, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
