Do you love watching international TV? Are you a fan of British TV, or are you wishing you had access to your home TV online while abroad? In the past, accessing international TV shows meant waiting for them to come out on DVD, or paying for very expensive add-on packages from your cable company — just to get a couple of channels.
Now, fans of international TV have a huge lineup of streaming options for watching their favorite TV shows live, or even on demand.
To assist you, we’ve put together a short guide on watching popular international programming and sports while you're in the United States.
Live TV
If you want live TV from around the world, check out Sling TV International (formally known as Dish World). With it, you can access packages for shows from Italy, Taiwan, Brazil, and many more — including a world sports package.
Each package has different channels, but many will include Bein Sports, an international sports channel. If you want live TV, we highly recommend Sling TV International.
