SAVE 49%: ExpressVPN is the best service for accessing ITVX from anywhere in the world. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £83.06 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.


The Six Nations is back, with absolutely massive fixtures lined up for the forseeable future. We're ready, but are you?

You can watch every second of the action on BBC One and ITV1, or stream every game on BBC iPlayer or ITVX. That is unless you're travelling during this year's competition. If you're outside the UK in the coming weeks, you might need to consider investing in a VPN.

When is England vs Scotland?

England and Scotland will begin their respective Six Nations campaigns on Feb. 4:

England vs Scotland (ITV) — 4:45 p.m. GMT

The game will be shown live on ITV One. Alternatively, you can live stream on ITVX.

Can you watch England vs Scotland from abroad?

If you're outside the UK, you will need to use a VPN to stream ITVX. When you try to connect to ITVX from abroad, you'll be blocked by the streaming platform's tight geo-restrictions.

The only way to get around these frustrating geo-restrictions is to use a streaming-friendly VPN. These services can hide your real IP address and connect you to a secure server in the UK. This process is quick and easy, and tricks sites like ITVX into thinking you are back home. All you need to do is sign up to a VPN, download the app, connect to a UK-based server, and then head to ITVX. It takes just a few clicks.

What is the best VPN for unblocking ITVX?

ExpressVPN remains the top choice for unblocking and watching leading streaming sites, including ITVX. Users get strong connection speeds, powerful levels of encryption, a built-in password manager, and fast servers in 94 countries. Subscribers also get apps for every platform and can connect up to five devices simultaneously.

A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £83.06 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time. This discounted plan also includes a year of free unlimited cloud backup and a pretty generous 30-day money-back guarantee, so you can recover your investment if you're not totally satisfied with the service.
