Eurovision is an annual song contest happening in Europe. This year it will be 44th season of Eurovision, and Europe is excited to see it on May 14–18. Although the United States do not participate in the contest the show still has fans and thousands of viewers there. From 2016 Logo TV was the official streamer in the US to show Eurovision, but recently they announced they will not stream Eurovision 2019. Logo TV was the only broadcaster in the US to show Eurovision and this means that US Eurovision fans will not be able to watch the live show.

Before 2016 Youtube allowed US citizens to watch live stream of Eurovision, but they put on a geo-restriction after 2016. Now if you go to the official Live stream on Youtube from US you will see something like this:

So how will the US fans will watch Eurovision? There is a solution — VPN.

How can VPN help to watch Eurovision in the United States

Do not get the free VPNs. They make money from collecting logs and selling data and most of them are not that good at bypassing geo-restrictions. What you need to do is get a VPN that has a free trial and just refund it after the contest. Most of them (if they do have it) have free trials that last a month.
