How to Get Over NBA Blackouts on Apple TV

Depending on your location, you won’t be able to catch the local NBA games due to the regional blackout policy. So to watch out-of-market games, you must have a VPN. A VPN lets you virtually switch your current location to where the games are available. Unfortunately, you can’t install a VPN directly on your Apple TV. However, there is a way out that you can follow to unblock NBA games.

Here is how you can do it step by step:

1. Use AirPlay and mirroring to stream from your mobile device.
2. Install ExpressVPN on your router.
3. Use MediaStreamer, ExpressVPN’s Smart DNS feature.
4. Connect Apple TV to the internet through your computer.

Note: Setting up ExpressVPN in your Apply TV is a tricky task. So if you are having any hurdles while doing so you can contact ExpressVPN Support.
