To watch women’s football online is a significant challenge. It’s impossible to find a stream for women’s football on most websites where football would generally be streamed. And in cases where one does find a way to stream it, there tends to be a geo-block that still prevents women’s football from being watched, and that not only makes it hard for you to watch women’s football, but it also makes it harder for women’s football to grow.
In this guide, we show you the right websites and ways of unblocking them to watch most of women’s football anywhere, regardless of where you are in the world.
While the likes of the Women’s Champions League is streamed on UEFA near the final stages, the rest isn’t. That means there are great games on like Juventus VS Lyon that are hard to watch.
The solution?
It’s called Wnited.TV and stands for Women United. They hold streams to the Women’s Champions League. Something that is hard to otherwise find.
The catch? That not every game is available to be streamed everywhere. For instance, a game between Man City and Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC was not available to stream in Sweden on it, nor the likes of the UK and the US, because someone already had some form of rights for that stream in those countries.
...In general, what would generally happen is that other countries would not be able to watch because nobody acquired a stream in that country. This platform solves it.
...But to get the most out of it, you are going to need to use a VPN.
That’s because some games will not be available in your region, and thus you will need to make it look like you are virtually somewhere else to make it work.
And that’s where PrivateVPN comes in with a focus on entertainment, and making sure streaming services can be accessed.
To give an example, in the case of the Man City and Kopparbergs/Göteborg FC match where the platform wasn’t able to show the match in the UK, US, and Sweden, with PrivateVPN connect to the likes of Ireland, and you will be able to watch.
...After you create a Wnited.TV account.
Sweden is doing a terrible job with the marketing of the women’s leagues in the past few years. While the top league in England is free to watch (we’ll get into that later), you need to pay almost €30 to watch the Elitettan, the second tier of Swedish football, in 720p, and it’s only available in Sweden.
If you don’t want to spend that much money on Elitettan, we don’t blame you, but there is a way to unblock the platform. In this case, you will need to connect to PrivateVPN’s Swedish server.
...So if you haven’t yet, here’s how to do it:
As to the Damallsvenskan, some of the games are shown on SVT which we have a guide regarding unblocking, and the rest are on Sportbladet, a platform charging 120 SEK, the equivalent of around €10 per match, or otherwise of over €20 per month.
Once again, you can use PrivateVPN to unblock it, although this platform is more available than of the Elitettan.
Not only is this league much higher quality as far as streaming goes than of the Swedish leagues, it’s also free to watch, and that allows for incredible marketing.
...In fact, it doesn’t also have weird geo-blocks that the Swedish league has, making it easily accessible.
A big part of Women’s football consists of international matches. That’s a little bit complicated, as while when it comes to the next EURO games, your national provider will likely stream it if, and if not, count on BBC iPlayer with a VPN connected to a UK server.
...But if that’s not the case, in friendliness and the likes of qualifiers, it’s a little bit more complicated. Best shot? The national broadcaster of the country you want to watch.
In Poland, there’s TVP Sport, in Ireland, RTE Player, in the UK, BBC Player, and so on.
...And all of these are unblockable by searching for the right VPN server.
There’s a lot of ways to watch Women’s football. But they are less known and more hidden.
In this guide, we cleared up some of the most common ways that you can watch women’s football online, but there’s a ton of other leagues out there, and we will update this guide with ways to watch them.
