How to watch BBC iPlayer from the U.S. and abroad on iPhone, iPad, or Mac

How to watch BBC iPlayer from the U.S. and abroad on iPhone, iPad, or Mac
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

If you’re trying to watch BBC iPlayer from the U.S. (or Ireland, Australia, or anywhere else outside the U.K.) you’ll find it’s not as easy as logging in and pressing play. Instead, you need to use a workaround. Fortunately, however, it’s quite simple, and in this article, we explain how to watch BBC iPlayer from anywhere in the world.

iPlayer is one of the biggest streaming services in the U.K., offering a range of high-quality television both live and on demand across popular channels including BBC One and CBeebies, radio shows and feature films, entirely free from advertising. Hit shows such as Eastenders, Doctor Who, Strictly Come Dancing, Match Of The Day, The Apprentice, and more are available to watch live and on demand on BBC iPlayer.

The sad thing is that, in principle at least, you can only watch it from within the U.K. This makes a certain amount of sense; after all, U.K. TV owners fund the BBC through the license fee. But what about holidaymakers and those with homes in two countries? If you’ve paid for it, you might want to be able to watch BBC iPlayer when overseas and avoid missing an episode of your favorite show.

Note that you do need a TV license to watch on-demand content on the iPlayer. Previously, you only needed a license to watch TV being broadcast live, but a rule change means all iPlayer content now requires you to pay up. Our sister title Tech Advisor explains all here: Do I need a TV license?

How to watch BBC iPlayer abroad by using a VPN

You can access BBC iPlayer outside the U.K. by using a VPN. Here’s a quick rundown of the steps you’ll need to follow. This method works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and even PC and Android.

Be aware, though, that this breaks the terms and conditions of BBC iPlayer; proceed at your own risk. You’re not going to get fined or arrested, but you could have your account suspended. (In practice even this is unlikely, but you have been warned.)

You’ll need a subscription to a VPN. We’d recommend NordVPN or Surfshark, but you can find 14 great options in our roundup of the best VPNs.

Download your VPN app of choice on your Mac, iPhone, iPad, or other device.

Log in.

Choose a server based in the U.K.

Browse to BBC iPlayer and log in.

You should now find that you’re able to access BBC iPlayer content.

How does a VPN enable you to watch iPlayer from abroad?

Just as Netflix dominates U.S. traffic, BBC iPlayer dominates in the U.K., with up to six percent of all internet traffic going to the BBC. So it’s seriously popular. But you’re not allowed to watch the BBC while you’re overseas.

How is this enforced? When you open the BBC iPlayer app on your iOS device or log on to iPlayer on your Mac or PC, it checks your public IP address. This address is a four-part number, such as 91.108.140.168. (A quick way to find yours is by typing “IP Address” into Google.)

This figure relates to your ISP or cellular connection, linked to the server sending you data. Enter the digits into IP Location and you’ll find where the server is located as well as the host. If this location isn’t in the U.K., then BBC iPlayer will refuse to show you content.

In other words, to use BBC iPlayer abroad, you need to convince the BBC that you’re using an IP address based in the U.K.

Don’t worry. This is a lot easier than you think, thanks to VPNs, or virtual private networks. Instead of connecting directly to iPlayer’s servers, you log into the VPN, and that connects using a British IP address, letting you access all the iPlayer content you normally would.

As mentioned, this breaks the terms and conditions of BBC iPlayer so you proceed at your own risk.

The best VPNs for watching BBC iPlayer

Here are three of the best VPN services, in our experience, to use for accessing BBC iPlayer outside the U.K. They offer apps for both Mac and iOS/iPadOS, so you can use them to watch from just about any Apple device.

NordVPN: This service offers a complete VPN service at a fair price, and currently sits at number one in our VPN chart. Your data is encrypted so you can surf worry-free wherever. It offers speciality servers designed for streaming, so is ideal for watching BBC iPlayer. Sign up here.

Surfshark: This is a great-value VPN that offers several features beyond the core VPN service for a low monthly price. It’ll work well for BBC iPlayer, but it does miss out on the speciality servers offered by NordVPN. Sign up here.

ExpressVPN: Another of our favorite VPN services with top security and privacy features and simple-to-use apps. It’s a bit pricier than NordVPN and Surfshark but is certainly a premium service. Sign up here.

These cover the Mac, iPhone, and iPad, but if you want to access iPlayer from an Apple TV things are a little trickier: try our dedicated guide to using a VPN with the Apple TV. You might also like to find out how to get American Netflix in the U.K.
