Stream with NFL Gamepass (Best China Option)

NFL Gamepass is the easiest way to watch high-definition NFL football games in China (the international version is cheaper than the US version).

This is the method that I use, and I LOVE it.

It is not only possible for me to watch live NFL games (since I am outside the US), but also to record them, watch them on my mobile device, watch condensed versions (30 minutes rather than 2 hours), and – here’s the best part…

…it doesn’t require a VPN.

Occasionally, NFL Gamepass offers a 7-day free trial before you’re required to pay for a year, so try it this week. I know you’ll love the quality and ease of use as much as I have.

Try a Paid TV Streaming Service

Alternatively, you can use a paid TV streaming service like Hulu, YouTube TV, or Sling to watch an NFL football game in China. By doing this, you can access both NFL and college football games.

You’ll have to do your research to find out which channels and programming appeal to you (see my list below).

With these services, you not only get access to NFL games but also to several other programs and channels that NFL Gamepass does not provide.

The downside to using TV streaming services is twofold:

There’s no way to watch every NFL football game (so you might not be able to watch your team one week, which sucks);

To use these streaming services in China, you need a VPN.

Based on the country you would like to stream from, I recommend the following paid TV services:

United States:

YouTube TV (my personal favorite), Sling TV, or USTVNow are your best bets. Each website offers a unique package of shows and channels from the US and may require you to use a US-based VPN server to access the content.

United Kingdom:

Now TV offers not only NFL games but also soccer (“football”), rugby, cricket, and Formula 1 for those in the UK.

Canada:

In Canada, NFL rights are held by DAZN, a streaming service primarily known for streaming MMA and boxing.

To stream these services, you can theoretically connect to a server in any country using a VPN.

It is highly recommended that you use ExpressVPN. However, if you prefer, you can also check out what other sports come with the streaming packages!

Note:

You may have trouble setting up your VPN to watch these streaming services due to censorship. There are still ways to install a VPN in China, thankfully.
