Watch women’s Rugby Sevens away from home
If you’re travelling during the Olympics, that doesn’t mean you have to miss out on the women’s Rugby Sevens action. Fans who are travelling abroad during the tournament can watch their usual service with the help of a VPN.
A VPN – or Virtual Private Network – is a handy piece of software that allows you to change your device’s IP address. This means you can view live or on-demand TV content as if you were sitting at home in front of your own television – even when you’re overseas.
The technology experts from TechRadar are big fans of NordVPN for its strong privacy features, ease of use, and the fact it allows you to watch your favourite TV on multiple devices simultaneously. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support and it’s currently available for a knockdown price.
Watch women’s Olympics Rugby Sevens in the UK
You’ll be able to watch Olympics live streams via the BBC iPlayer service. It’s free to access, as long as you have a valid UK TV Licence.
The Beeb doesn’t hold exclusive UK rights to the Olympics, however, and is only permitted to broadcast two streams at any time. The most comprehensive coverage for British fans will therefore be available on subscription services Eurosport and Discovery Plus. Thanks to a special Olympics offer, you’ll be able to subscribe to the Discovery Plus Standard plan – which offers access to all the Olympics action – for £3.99 per month. It’s a big saving on the usual £6.99 per month, and if you sign up by 11 August you’ll be able to take advantage of the discounted price until the end of the year.
