App & VPN for UK Sports Abroad?

Site Feedback
1

Hey All! Reaching out for some advice and guidance. My step-dad has asked for my help in getting him a Firestick so that he can watch Sky Sports etc whilst abroad.

He mentioned a friend having one that he pays for each year. I’ve tried to find out what the friends one is using but can’t find out much so my plan atm was to get a VPN, the Sky Sports app and away he goes.

Would this be the best way to go about it? The only other information I have is that apparently the app code which the friend was told to download on the Firestick was “732660” but I have no idea what that means.

I’ve currently ordered the Firestick and it should be arriving in the next day or so

I can really recommend to check this spreadsheet out if anyone is looking for a VPN to use. Hope it helps!

I use express vpn paid version but it doesn’t always work with uk apps. You need to change the time zone to uk aswell as having vpn on for some apps.

I was searching to see if free VPNs really existed and found Proton VPN maybe a month or so ago. However, it only provides a US server for the free version. That said, I ended up upgrading because I wanted to support them and they have UK servers and I use my Firestick all the time with it.

Also, for the code, you search that number in the search feature on the Firestick and it should find whatever app that is, however sketchy it may be.
