Why You Need a VPN Today

However, first you need a VPN to unblock US streaming services from . Our favourite is ExpressVPN. It’s definitely not the cheapest option at $6.67/month, but it just works – and across all your devices.

They have servers in 25+ US cities/states and 105 countries, which unblock access to premium streaming platforms available only in the US, as well as free “on demand” TV services worldwide.

You’ll have access to local platforms as if you were in the country, meaning you can watch BBC iPlayer as if you were in the UK, CBC Gem as if you were in Canada, plus hundreds more worldwide.

Hotdog users get three months free at ExpressVPN, so it’s a “no-brainer” for us. Decide for yourself with their 30 day money-back guarantee.

IMPORTANT: Once you’ve installed your VPN and connected to a US server, you’ll still need to subscribe separately to access premium streaming services.

1 National Channels to Watch Washington Capitals Games
2 Wrapping Up

The Washington Capitals were originally founded as an expansion team in 1974, along with the Kansas City Scouts. The Scouts ended up with the New Jersey Devils, but the Capitals stayed right where they were. A member of the Eastern Conference, Metropolitan Division, they are regular playoff contenders. They boast three Presidents’ Trophies for the most regular season points, 12 division titles, and one Stanley Cup win (2018).

Caps fans can’t always rock the red at the stadium, so watching the game live on TV is the next best thing. This season, all eyes are on the new coach, Spencer Carbery, and aging team captain Alex Ovechkin. But where can you watch Capitals games?
