How can I watch SVT outside Sweden?

SVTPlay.se is a great site where you can watch all your favorite TV programs in Sweden. The only problem is when you travel abroad for a holiday or move abroad permanently. How can you then watch SVT live when the live content is only available to people with a Swedish IP address?

On SVTPlay.se you can watch an awful lot of programs. At the moment you can watch all your favorite winter sports live with Swedish commentators, you can watch the news, weather forecasts, children’s programs, documentaries, soap operas, and lots of other TV shows. To watch the live stream you need a Swedish IP address, and that can easily be acquired if you use a stable and trustworthy VPN service.

Use a VPN to watch SVT abroad

If you want to watch SVTPlay.se from outside Sweden we will, first of all, recommend either ExpressVPN or Surfshark. Both services have servers available in Sweden and they have good speeds, meaning that you can watch the television shows normally without buffering and with high quality. In addition, they encrypt your connection, making it a very secure connection. They can also be used to watch content on other streaming services and TV networks worldwide, including BBC, Hulu, ITV, and many others.

Surfshark and ExpressVPN have very similar pricing, and both of the services come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. In other words, if you try one of the services, but do not like it, you can easily ask for a full refund and get your money back!

We have recently updated this article, meaning that even though we originally wrote it back in 2013, it is still up to date. There is no need to worry. These instructions will help you watch all your favorite programs on SVT, no matter where you are in the world. You can also use Surfshark and ExpressVPN to watch NRK in Norway, DR in Denmark, ZDF and DasErste in Germany, Rai in Italy, BBC in the UK, NBC in the United States, and so much more.

It is also good to know that both Surfshark and ExpressVPN have high-speed servers. For a long time, connecting to a VPN server meant that you had to compromise your good Internet connection. But, with ExpressVPN and Surfshark, your download speeds will not drop a lot, even after connecting to one of their servers in Stockholm, or elsewhere in the world. I have done many speed tests, and I have often had download speeds exceeding 100 Mbps with both Surfshark and ExpressVPN.

I hope these instructions have helped you. If you still have any comments or questions, write a comment and I will do my best to help!

    The article is up to date. If you want to watch Sweden in the World Cup 2018, or maybe some other team, follow these instructions and you will be able to watch all the matches on SVT from abroad. You can use the methods described here to watch TV4 abroad as well, so that comes as a nice bonus!
