(Mods you should make this post sticky)
There are so many posts/comments regarding how to watch the game from outside the US.
Here is your answer:
It’s a LEGAL way to watch the games, the one-day pass is 4 USD or something
Why is it legal?
While the channel advertises to be for US Military abroad their terms and conditions DO NOT REFERENCE TO ANY OF THAT and basically EVERYONE can subscribe (both “legally” and “technically”. I did not but I knew random people who do.
You can thank me later
one issue seems like they don’t have ESPN on the channel list
Thanks for letting us know!
I’ll thank you now. Appreciate the info.
Thank you!
Is it only live or can I watch later. Most games will be at 4am in my country
Works perfectly, thanks!
I forgot this existed, you the MVP.
I do see it on their list - it is depending on the plan it seems
Yeah, appreciate it, OP.
For anyone else reading this, what OP posted is probably the best legal option you’re going to find.
Your next best option would be a streaming app like Youtube TV, Fubo TV, or Sling and a VPN to access the games. Those apps have access to Fox, ABC, ESPN, ESPN2, and FS1, which are the channels the games are being broadcast on, but you need a VPN to get around the region lock (I recommend either ExpressVPN or NordVPN if you plan on using one).
Canada has access to Fox and ABC over the air, but Canadians would have to use one of the above options to watch the ESPN, ESPN2, and FS1 games.
Broadcast schedule if you need it for reference:

Conference championships on Saturday, June 8, 2024 (ABC) and Sunday, June 9, 2024 (Fox). UFL Championship on Sunday, June 16, 2024 (Fox).
As I do not use it myself (yet) I actually do not know BUT consider their name: “USTVnow”… Maybe they have a plan with a re-live option. Check their pages
Do we know yet where the championships will be played? I think I read somewhere they’ll all be at Birmingham or something like that?
Since its for soldiers abroad who will have the Same Problem, i bet there is a relive option.
The locations of the conference championships on June 8th and June 9th are going to depend on who finishes in 1st place in the XFL conference and USFL conference, respectively.
As an example, if the Birmingham Stallions finish in 1st place in the USFL (i.e. they have the most wins against other USFL conference teams or otherwise have the best regular season record) then they get to host the USFL conference championship game.
Likewise, if say, the San Antonio Brahmas does the same on the XFL side, then the XFL conference championship would be in San Antonio.
Bottom line is we won’t know until the playoff seeding gets decided later in the season.
What we do know for sure is that the UFL Championship game on June 16th will be held in St. Louis, as that was announced in advance as the “neutral location”.
Thanks for this! In my own bid to help support the league, I bought season tickets for the Michigan Panthers (only a 3.5 hr drive for me oof), and was wondering if it’d end up including tickets to the conference championship IF the Panthers made it that far. It seems like though that while they could potentially host it, season tickets won’t include conference championship games, that’d be ticketed separately, I THINK anyways
thanks for your answer!
If the Panthers both make the playoffs AND have the best record in the USFL conference, they would be hosting the USFL conference championship game in Detroit. Season ticket holders get first crack at the playoff tickets, so as a Panthers season ticket holder in the hypothetical scenario I just posed, you and the other Panthers season ticket holders would get first dibs on tickets.
ahhh, so while I wouldn’t get the ticket for free, I’d have first dibs on buying them
thanks!
