Can I watch YouTube TV in Europe?

YouTube TV was launched in certain cities in the United States on April 6th in 2017. What can be done if you live outside the USA? Can I watch YouTube TV in Europe?

Whenever Google does something, it comes with a boom and it is normally destined for success. Google+ was one of the few Google projects that did not really succeed, but taking a look and using YouTube TV for a few days, I do believe YouTube TV is determined to become a success. If you, however, follow this blog, then you might know that I am located in Europe, and therefore you might ask the same question that I asked: How can I watch YouTube TV in Europe? It ain’t that hard, but you need to have Google Chrome installed on your computer and you will need to fake your location to the United States.

Do I need to VPN to watch YouTube TV in Europe?

Whenever you read about how you will need to fake your location, most people automatically think they will have to use a VPN in order to get an American IP address. That is true in 99% of all situations, but not when it comes to YouTube TV. They are different from most others, because they do not even require you to have an American IP address. But, they do a check of your browser and will require you to share your location. If you use a VPN it will not stop your browser from giving away your actual and real location. So, a VPN is not the solution for those who want to stream YouTube TV in Europe. What is the solution then?

The solution is to install a Google Chrome plugin named Location Guard. You can try it for yourself, or you can follow the instructions in this article that will show you how to setup Location Guard in order for it to work with YouTube TV.

If you have Location Guard setup in Google Chrome you will be able to sign up for the 30 day free trial of YouTube TV, and after the first thirty days the price will be 35USD per month. You can also pay extra in order to access Fox Sports and Showtime, but even without those add-ons you will have a fantastic time watching and signing up for YouTube TV in Europe.

Ready for YouTube TV in Europe

Since it will probably take ages for YouTube TV to actually launch in Europe, this is the only and best way for you to access YouTube TV in the USA in Europe. You will at once get access to all your favorite TV series from NBC, Fox, CBS, MSNBC and other networks, so fans of live stream or TV series, will have plenty of stuff to watch and enjoy from the first second after signing up.
