If there is one thing that unites all expats in Australia, it is a deep-seated admiration for 9Now, the streaming service arm of the free-to-air Nine Network.

With so many different sports to watch without paying a cent, it is no wonder that Australia has such a reputation for excellence in sports. This is especially nice for fans of tennis and rugby, which tend to be pay-per-view in most countries. Dramas and reality shows such as “Love Island Australia” are also not to be missed.

9Now is easy to use in Australia, but as soon as you leave Australia, it is no longer available. So please read on as we explain how to watch 9Now live from anywhere in the world.

To watch 9Now, you must first register for an account; 9Now is completely free to use and you do not need to submit any payment information.

First, go to the 9Now website and enter your email address and create a password.

Next, you must declare the month and year of your birth, your zip code (you can search by city), and your gender.

You will immediately receive a 6-digit code by email to complete the process.

Voila! You can now live stream Channel 9, 9Gem, 9Go!, 9Life, and Rush, as well as browse the extensive on-demand 9Now library.

If you have ever tried to access 9Now from outside Australia, you will be painfully aware that this streaming platform does not work outside the country.

However, there is one way around this measure.

By signing up for the best VPNs, you can connect to servers based in virtually any country in the world, no matter where you are, as long as you have an Internet connection.

For example, if you leave Australia on vacation, a VPN will allow you to connect to a server in your home country and access the entire 9Now catalog. turn on the VPN, select a server in Australia, access 9Now, and you're good to go as usual. Streaming is available.

9Now's fluffiest feather in its cap is its live sports offering.

The network holds live broadcast rights to tennis, rugby union, rugby league, and golf under the “Nines Wide World of Sports” banner.

In tennis, the network covers the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, and US Open, as well as numerous smaller events.

The city also hosts NRL, Rugby Championship, Wallabies Rugby Union international matches, Masters golf, and occasional cricket matches.

If you like reality shows, 9Now has you covered. There are many others, of course, but this genre is something of a stronghold of the Nine Network.

In Australia, the network airs Married at First Sight, Love Island, 90 Day Fiance, Say Yes to the Dress, Survivor, and The Summit, among others.

Others include “Resident Evil,” “Young Sheldon,” “Blue Bloods,” “FBI,” and a collection of Christmas movies.

Even if you live in Australia, you lose access to the entire 9Now library the moment you leave the country for work or vacation.

With a VPN, you can return to the 9Now library from anywhere in the world. In addition, you will be able to watch programs from different parts of Australia.

VPNs also encrypt and anonymize your browsing data, protecting your privacy not only from cyber criminals and government snooping, but also from Internet service providers.
