The kick-off is approaching: ExpressVPN secures streaming abroad with Lightway, 105 countries and 4 months free, from €2.39/month over 28 months.
Watching a match from abroad without latency, without interruption and without geographical blocking, this is precisely the use case for which ExpressVPN excels. And with a spring offer of 79% off for 28 months, the fastest premium VPN on the market has never been more accessible.
The offer: from €2.39/month over 28 months, 4 months free
Since January 2026, ExpressVPN has overhauled its price list by introducing for the first time in its history three distinct plans: Basic, Advanced and Pro. The spring offer active in May 2026 lowers the Basic formula to €2.39/month over 28 months (2 years + 4 months free), i.e. €66.98 paid in one go, a reduction of 79% compared to the standard monthly rate. No promo code required, discount applied automatically.
Why speed is the key argument for sports streaming
Watching a football, tennis or Formula 1 match live from abroad poses a double problem: the content is often geo-blocked (Canal+, beIN Sports, DAZN do not authorize access outside their broadcast territory), and the connection from the hotel or holiday accommodation is rarely optimal. A slow VPN worsens the situation with buffering, degraded resolution, and disconnections at key moments.
This is precisely where ExpressVPN stands out from its competitors. In independent tests carried out in 2025-2026, the service displays 705.4 Mb/s average download speed a performance which places him just behind NordVPN but in front ProtonVPN, Surfshark and CyberGhost. This power is based on its in-house protocol Lightwaydesigned to minimize throughput loss while maintaining military-grade encryption (AES-256).
The advantages of ExpressVPN for the sporty traveler
ExpressVPN’s in-house protocol combines the speed of WireGuard and the flexibility of OpenVPN. It automatically adapts to the quality of the available network ideal for unstable connections from hotels or cafes abroad, without interruption of the video stream.
- Unblocking sports streaming
Canal+, beIN Sports, DAZN, BBC iPlayer, ESPN+, Sky Sports: ExpressVPN maintains optimized and regularly updated servers to bypass the geographic restrictions of the main sports platforms. Verified access from 12+ countries on Netflix alone.
- TrustedServer (RAM only)
Exclusive technology: All ExpressVPN servers run on RAM. Each time you restart, all data is erased automatically. The no-log policy was audited by KPMG in February 2025, a verifiable, not declarative, confidentiality guarantee.
Rare feature: ExpressVPN includes a speed test tool that measures the performance of each available server in real time. Before a live match, you identify the fastest server for your location in just a few seconds.
- Integrated eSIM (Advanced & Pro)
Advanced and Pro plans include a holiday.com eSIM with unlimited data in 150+ destinations (3/5 days). When traveling, you watch your game on your own secure mobile connection, without relying on hotel Wi-Fi.
- Up to 14 simultaneous devices
A single subscription protects 10 (Basic), 12 (Advanced) or 14 (Pro) devices simultaneously. Compatible with all operating systems, Smart TVs and routers, to watch the match on the big screen from any accommodation.

Our verdict
For sports streaming use from abroad, ExpressVPN is in a category of its own. Its 705 Mb/s average speed, its adaptive Lightway protocol and its integrated Speed Test make it the most reliable VPN for watching a live sporting event without latency or interruption. The Advanced plan at €3.19/month is the rational choice: the eSIM avoids having to depend on hotel Wi-Fi, the tracker blocker speeds up the loading of sports platforms, and the full 30-day guarantee removes any risk from the trial.
