How to watch MotoGP Malaysian Grand Prix from abroad with a VPN

Official streaming services are licensed by country, so your usual DAZN, FOX Sports, ESPN, or Disney+ access may be unavailable while you are traveling. A VPN can help you access a subscription you already hold by connecting through your home country. It does not replace a valid subscription, and streaming platforms’ terms still apply. For more context, see our guide to the best VPNs for streaming.

1. Choose a VPN. We recommend NordVPN because it supports up to 10 simultaneous devices, uses the fast NordLynx protocol, and works across popular streaming devices. It is a strong choice for following live MotoGP coverage through your existing home subscription while traveling.
2. Install the VPN app. Download NordVPN on the device you use for streaming, such as a laptop, iPhone, Android phone, tablet, or compatible smart TV.
3. Connect to a server in your home country. For example, Spanish DAZN subscribers should connect to Spain, US FOX Sports subscribers should connect to the US, and Mexican ESPN or Disney+ Premium subscribers should connect to Mexico. This changes your virtual location to match your eligible home service.
4. Open your official streaming platform. Go to DAZN España, FOX Sports, ESPN, or Disney+ Premium, then sign in with the account and subscription you normally use.
5. Find the Malaysian Grand Prix stream. Keep the VPN connected while you watch. If the stream does not load, try another server in the same country, restart the app, or clear your browser cookies and cache.

Why you need a VPN to watch MotoGP abroad

MotoGP broadcasting rights differ by country. DAZN España, FOX Sports, ESPN, and Disney+ Premium all serve specific territories, which means they may block access when you travel abroad, even when you have a valid account at home.

A VPN connects you to a server in your home country before you open your usual service. This can help your legitimate subscription recognize your normal home region, while also encrypting the connection on public Wi-Fi.
