Using a VPN will allow you to watch national television broadcasts that have the rights to the Winter Olympics in Beijing 2022

This means that, to watch the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, as is the case for Tokyo 2020, it is necessary to use the broadcast of the television channel that has acquired the rights. It is they who will broadcast the sports that follow the main event of winter sports, which this year will be held until 20 February.

A list has been published on the International Olympic Committee’s website with television stations that will broadcast, in each country, the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics according to the rights they have earned.

Why use a VPN to watch the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics

What you have to take into account is that in order to see the broadcast of each station you have to live in the national territory where it is broadcast. In other words, users from countries other than Spain will not be able to follow the broadcasts of Radio Televisión Española.

That’s as long as they don’t use a VPN. With a Virtual Private Network, it is possible to “connect” to broadcasts of other national stations over the Internet, simulating the IP of that country. This will allow you to enjoy other network content and watch the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics broadcast on the Internet for free.
