SAVE 49%: ExpressVPN is the best service for unblocking BBC iPlayer. A one-year subscription to ExpressVPN is on sale for £85.41 and includes an extra three months for free — 49% off for a limited time.


The Six Nations has kicked off with some thrilling fixtures, and we're all hoping for more this weekend. You can live stream every game from this year's competition on BBC iPlayer and ITVX if you're based in the UK. If you're not based in the UK, you will need to use a VPN to watch the Six Nations.

When is Scotland vs Wales?

Scotland vs Wales will face each other on Feb. 11:

Scotland vs Wales (BBC) — 4:45 p.m. GMT

The game will be shown live on BBC1, or you can live stream the fixture on BBC iPlayer.

Can you watch Scotland vs Wales from abroad?

When you try to connect to BBC iPlayer from abroad, you'll be immediately blocked due to your location. All is not lost though, because you can bypass this blockade with a VPN.

These cybersecurity 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 BBC iPlayer into thinking you are based in the UK. All you need to do is sign up to a VPN, download the app, connect to a UK-based server, and then head to BBC iPlayer to watch Scotland against Wales.

What is the best VPN for unblocking BBC iPlayer?

ExpressVPN remains the top choice for unblocking and watching top streaming sites like BBC iPlayer. Subscribers 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 £85.41 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.
