Quick question to the Europeans on the board - Watching NFL in Germany

[Whites Bay]

Hello over there.  I was just told that I'm going to Germany during the weekend of the Dolphins game (1 Oct 23).  I'll have the following:

 

1) My laptop

2) An HDMI cable

3) An HDMI-to-USB-C adapter

4) A full-blown subscription to YouTube TV and NFL Direct Ticket and RedZone (I figured "F it" and got the whole 9 yards).

 

Back when I was traveling to Europe during "The Drought", I could use GamePass.  It worked - but the games sucked.  Does it still work?  Can I get YouTube TV NFL Direct Ticket in Europe?  What is "DAZN"?

 

Any input would be appreciated.  I'll fly over a day early to make sure I'm in the hotel with equipment hooked up.  Thanks much.

I'm UK based and have watched NFL while in Europe... you should be able to use your existing services if you get a VPN (to hide that you're overseas)

 

You might even find its shown on normal german tv in a bar. Nfl is pretty popular over there

Yea get a VPN. Don't rely on DAZN. It sucks balls.

This sums it up nicely. Nordvpn seems pretty good in my experience.

Thanks for the PM and the responses.  I have a VPN.  Apologies - not very tech-savvy.  Light up the VPN, and then use YouTubeTV on the laptop, correct?

I do believe that is what you have to do.

Ich sollte dich besser nicht dabei erwischen, wie du mit meiner Frau redest !!

Some country is Germany. I keep trying to find a reason to get back there. Euro 2024 next year should do it.

Wow.

 

So...in seriousness...who's going to the London game?  PM me.

 

The trip that just got dropped in my lap now includes a departure on Sunday 8 October (because they want us to go to Oktoberfest in Stuttgart on 7 October), and I could possibly swing it.  Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  I might (*gasp*) get to meet some of you in a weird environment.

 

Who's going?  Might do it.

[Returntoglory]

Wow.

 

Brings back many memories. When I was in the USAF, I was stationed in Germany from 1980-88.

 

All we has was AFN ( The Armed Forces Network) and tapes of Bills games Mom would record and send to me ( RIP Mom 💔).

 

Because of the six our time difference, one o'clock games would start at 7pm  , etc.

 

We were fortunate to get one Sunday game and a Monday night game.

 

And it was always pot luck!

 

When I knew a Bills game was going to be on, watch out!

 

Ah yes, those were the days.
