How to watch Married At First Sight abroad – stream the UK show
EVERYBODY’S favourite marital TV show is returning to screens very, very soon.
If you’re heading outside the UK, don’t worry: read on to find out how to watch Married At First Sight abroad.
The UK version of Married At First Sight first aired on television back in 2015 and has wowed audiences with its whirlwind romances and drama ever since.
The MAFS 2023 line-up has been revealed, which includes a former Geordie Shore star and the show’s first trans bride.
The show’s start date has been confirmed and will kick off on E4 on Monday 18th September – mere days away.
But if you’re heading overseas, you’re going to run into some issues streaming the show, since the Channel 4 streaming platform is geo-locked, meaning its content isn’t available outside the UK.
However there’s an easy way around this: download a VPN such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN.
We’ll talk you through watching MAFS outside the UK without a hitch (ba-dum) in the following section.
How to watch Married At First Sight abroad
VPNs are downloadable tools that can be used to route your internet activity through a server that isn’t your IP address.
This simply means you can (legally) suggest that you’re accessing the Channel 4 streaming platform from the UK, when you aren’t.
Firstly, download a VPN like ExpressVPN or NordVPN to the device you use for streaming content.
Then, load the VPN app and select a UK server.
Head to the Channel 4 website, and search for Married At First Sight. Press play, sit back, and enjoy the nuptials!
Like we say, this process is totally legal – but we always remind readers that if you want to watch any live UK TV outside the UK, you need be a licence-payer.
