Does Hotspot Shield work with Sky Sports?
As a Sky Sports VPN, Hotspot Shield is hard to beat. Our global VPN network makes connecting easy and our Hydra protocol delivers a seamless Sky Sports stream.
Whether you have a Sky TV subscription or a NOW TV weekly pass, the Sky Sports apps let you watch cricket and football no matter where you go in Britain. But that access gets curtailed once you leave the country. Download the best Sky Sports VPN and enjoy blazing-fast Sky Sports streams.
You may want to catch the most important match of the decade or you may just want to kill some time with whatever is streaming. The trouble is, Sky Sports’ apps only deliver the goods when you’re in the UK. Once you start traveling, your access options are limited. A Sky Sports VPN restores that access while giving you high-quality video streams.
When you connect to a VPN, your data is routed through the VPN provider’s servers, where it is then encrypted. Top VPN services have servers all over the world, and if you connect to a server in a specific country, you will be given an IP address from that region and it will appear as if you’re physically located there, even if you’re not.
In this case, you can select a UK VPN server location and get a UK IP address. This means when you visit the Sky Sports app, it will think you’re located in the UK and you’ll have unrestricted access.

As you travel, you may run into issues with Internet Service Providers deliberately slowing down, or throttling, the bandwidth for streaming apps like Sky Sports. When that happens, you won’t get smooth video and you may run into buffering just as your favourite club is about to score the winning goal.
Hotspot Shield VPN stops your ISP from throttling Sky Sports. When the Sky Sports stream arrives at our secure UK VPN servers, we apply military-grade encryption to mask the data from your ISP. This means you’re ISP can’t see that you’re watching Sky Sports — and if it can’t see, then it can’t throttle.
When you want to watch Sky Sports abroad, you’ll run into problems. That’s because Sky’s licensing deals only apply within the UK. If you travel beyond Britain’s borders, there’s a very good chance that you’ll get cut off.
Hotspot Shield has VPN servers in the UK and 80+ other countries. All you have to do is simply select one of our British VPN servers (there are multiple UK cities to choose from) and your Sky Sports stream will be restored. Never miss a match again.
Many VPN providers rely on the same underlying technology and have the same issues with streaming as a result. Hotspot Shield developed its proprietary Hydra protocol specifically to address the challenges of streaming over VPN connections. When independent research firm AV-TEST evaluated the most popular VPN providers, it found that we are the fastest VPN on the market. Ookla’s renowned Speedtest found Hotspot Shield actually increased speed over long-distance connections by 26.2%, while all other providers we’re at least 42.5% slower.
