Want to watch DAZN Japan in the US? It offers quite a few extra sporting options such as J1, J2, J3, Formula 1, and LFCTV. In fact, it offers a lot more content than of DAZN US.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to watch it, with just one main step.
This method will also allow you to unblock many other streaming services such as BBC iPlayer.
...But before we get into how to watch DAZN Japan in the US, let’s talk about why you can’t already.
As sporting rights tend to be region exclusive.
Just because DAZN has the rights to show something in Japan doesn’t mean it has the rights to show it in the US.
...Sometimes, it’s simply not able to.
After all, a lot of companies already have rights to a lot of sporting content, and secondly, sporting rights are very expensive.
That results in a lot of DAZN Japan content not being available in other DAZN regions.
...And it also means that DAZN needs to make efforts against people being able to watch DAZN Japan in the US.
Of course, there is a solution to this issue. ⬇️
Since DAZN is already available in the US, that makes things easier for you.
Why?
As you won’t need a Japanese card to create a DAZN account.
…And DAZN will be available in your app store right away.
...But to watch DAZN Japan in the US, you need to then change your location to look like you are in Japan.
This method? It’s used worldwide by many around the world. Perhaps you never heard of it because, well, most streaming services are American and thus don’t require unblocking.
How do you do it? By using a VPN. You will need to connect to a Japanese server, and that will allow you to look like you are in Japan.
If you ever tried a VPN then you know it’s not quite as simple as that though.
Most VPN services don’t unblock entertainment services. That’s because platforms like DAZN constantly make efforts against VPN services as they have to so that they don’t get in trouble.
And that’s where PrivateVPN comes in as a service with a focus on entertainment, meaning fewer servers, but servers that work with entertainment platforms you want to use, whether that’s DAZN Japan, Hulu Japan, RTE Player, or the BBC iPlayer.
What do you need to do to watch DAZN Japan in the US?
As someone in the US, this is something that you will rarely ever need to look into.
The biggest streaming platforms around the world are all available in the US.
...Where PrivateVPN comes in is when it comes to unblocking more content on them. That is the case with DAZN Japan, but also the case with DAZN Canada, which has much more content than of DAZN US.
VPN services come in useful even when it comes to Netflix. American Netflix has the most content, but it doesn’t have it all.
...And of course, platforms like BBC iPlayer are not available in the US, and that’s where the likes of PrivateVPN also come in useful.
Try it now.
