It's easy to stream U.S. TV with ExpressVPN! Check out our tips to enjoy a hassle-free streaming experience, no matter what device you're using.
How a VPN works with U.S. TV channels
U.S. TV channels and streaming services may be restricted based on your IP address. Because your IP address shows your approximate geographical location, you’ll need to ensure you have a U.S. IP address if you want to watch U.S. TV shows online.
A VPN works by routing your internet connection through a server located in the country of your choice—in this case, the United States. As long as you’re connected to a U.S. VPN server, your device will display a U.S. IP address. This will ensure an optimal streaming experience and give you the added benefit of increased online security and privacy.
Secure access to your favorite channels
There are many reasons why you might have trouble accessing your favorite U.S. TV channels. Some common issues are:
- Your internet service provider (ISP) slows down your connection when you're streaming.
- The school, office, or public Wi-Fi network you're using restricts streaming services to save bandwidth or minimize distractions.
Using a VPN is a simple and effective way to solve these problems. A VPN encrypts your activity so nobody can see what you're doing online. This means that your ISP can't slow down your connection, and your network can't block you from visiting certain sites.

If you’ve signed in to one of your streaming accounts while traveling, you might have noticed that you can't access your usual TV shows and movies.
Your streaming services show you a different content catalog depending on the country you’re in. This is because the rights to licensed shows are held by different film and TV studios, and streaming services have to negotiate for those rights to stream a show in a certain location.
