How to watch UFC 314: Volkanovski vs Lopes with a VPN

If you're trying to stream UFC 314 but keep hitting a “not available in your region” message, you're not alone. UFC broadcasters restrict their content based on geographic location – which means where you are dictates what you can (or can’t) watch.

Here’s a quick overview of where UFC 314 is available:

• ESPN+ – only for viewers in the United States
• TNT Sports (via Discovery+) – only in the United Kingdom
• Kayo Sports – exclusively in Australia
• Setanta Sports – available in Ukraine and select Eastern European countries

If you’re traveling or live in a region without official UFC coverage, you can still tune in using a VPN. A VPN hides your actual IP address and allows you to connect to servers in other countries – effectively tricking streaming platforms into thinking you’re in a supported location.

Here’s how to stream UFC 314 with a VPN:

1. Choose a trusted VPN. I recommend NordVPN for its fast speeds and wide server selection
2. Install the VPN app on your preferred device (desktop, smartphone, tablet, or smart TV)
3. Connect to a server in the country where your preferred streaming service is available (e.g., a US server for ESPN+)
4. Log in to the streaming platform and enjoy the fight as if you were watching locally
