Want to watch SVT Play in Denmark? Then you already tried and know it’s not as easy as logging in and watching.
...Luckily it’s quite easy to unblock SVT Play in Denmark. You just need to know the right steps which we share in this quick SVT Play guide.
The reason why this happens is basically the reason why many other streaming services, such as Disney+ or DAZN, are not available in other countries.
It all comes down to the rights to content that they are showing.
Platforms such as SVT Play or TV4 Play, often do not own the content that they are showing.
Of course, there is some original content they make, but there’s a lot that they don’t make, or that they do make, and then sell the rights to, preventing SVT from showing that content in countries like Denmark.
...Then, as a result, SVT Play has to make efforts to prevent people in places like Denmark from watching, as otherwise, SVT could get in trouble.
Of course, technically, SVT could make an effort to make SVT Play more available, but with SVT targeting Sweden, that move doesn’t make enough sense financially.
Which is where the step we are about to share comes in!⬇️⬇️⬇️
In order to make SVT Play in Denmark work, you need to actually first fool SVT Play to think that you are actually located in Sweden, and not Denmark.
How do you do that?
By using a VPN.
If you never heard of VPN services in the past, they allow you to change your location virtually, amongst many other things.
With a VPN, you can be in Denmark while looking like you are in Sweden.
...But a VPN itself is not enough to watch SVT Play in Denmark.
The reason for that is that most streaming services have VPN blocks in place to prevent this from happening. They need to do this because otherwise, they break the already mentioned rights issues, which can get them in trouble.
When it comes to entertainment services, a lot of VPN services will unblock the likes of Netflix, but not platforms like SVT.
And this is where PrivateVPN comes in as a Swedish service that is aware of SVT Play and many other Swedish services, but also as a platform that focuses on quality rather than quantity, meaning less servers, but servers that can unblock entertainment platforms that you care about.
You’ll find that out when signing up for a 7-day free trial with no need for a card.
Simply download the PrivateVPN app, connect to an SVT Play server, and you are good to go.
Naturally, you might want to watch SVT Play in Denmark on a TV.
In this case, the options are limited because most smart TV platforms, as well as the likes of Apple TV, Chromecast, and even Roku don’t support VPN services, but there is a way to do it.
The simplest one consists of connecting your laptop to a TV via HDMI.
The best one consists of getting an Amazon Fire TV Stick, which supports VPN services.
Want more? PrivateVPN will allow you to unblock all the major Swedish platforms, and much more with the help of our guides.
