Nordic sport when you live abroad
Swedes on the Costa del Sol, Norwegians in Thailand, Danes in Dubai, Finns in Florida. The same subscription works wherever there is a decent connection.
The service works in any country with a stable connection, and no dish is needed. Plan for the time difference: catch-up, 7 or 14 days depending on the plan, makes evening games watchable from Asia or America.
Why home apps stop working abroad
Nordic broadcasters and streaming services buy sports rights for their own country, so their apps block most live sport outside it.
Inside the EU, paid streaming subscriptions have to follow you on temporary trips under the EU portability regulation. Living abroad is not a temporary trip, and outside the EU the rule does not apply at all.
Time differences from popular destinations
| Destination | Compared with Stockholm |
|---|---|
| Spain (mainland) | same |
| Canary Islands and Portugal | 1 h behind |
| United Kingdom | 1 h behind |
| Thailand | 6 h ahead in winter, 5 h ahead in summer |
| United Arab Emirates | 3 h ahead in winter, 2 h ahead in summer |
| USA, East Coast | 6 h behind |
The USA changes clocks on different dates from Europe, so for a few weeks in spring and autumn the gap is an hour smaller. Finland is an hour ahead of Stockholm: add one hour to every figure if you follow Finnish sport.
Following your home league from abroad
From Spain, the Canary Islands or the UK, Nordic evening games are evening games for you too. From Thailand a 19:00 SHL game starts at 01:00 in winter, and from the US East Coast a Sunday afternoon Allsvenskan game is breakfast.
Catch-up is what makes this work: 7 days on three and six months, 14 days on twelve months. The test and the one-month plan have none.
Connection quality abroad
Distance from the Nordics matters less than the quality of your local line. The problem we see most is shared Wi-Fi in holiday complexes and rented flats. Full HD needs 8 Mbit/s at the very least and 15 to be comfortable.
Bring a streaming stick, and use a cable to the router if you can.
Setting up from abroad
Nothing differs from setting up at home: the login works the same way in every country. Set the device to the local time zone and the guide follows; if kick-off looks wrong, use the EPG offset in the player.

How do I watch Norwegian sport from Spain?
With an IPTV player on your TV or a streaming stick, and the same login you would use at home. Mainland Spain is on the same time as Norway.

Spend €4 before you spend €89.
The test runs for 48 hours on one screen and stops by itself. Start it on a Friday, so it covers a full weekend of matches.
