How to Access Official Wimbledon Broadcasters From the US, UK, Canada, Australia or Anywhere Else in the World
The rights for official Wimbledon 2018 broadcasting is given to specific broadcasters around the globe. These broadcasters are geo-restricted and hence only available in their home country. Which means you will get a Playback error that says: “BBC iPlayer is only available in UK. Sorry it’s due to rights issues.” or “Video geo-restricted by the owner.”
However these broadcasters can easily be accessed from anywhere using a VPN. It will mask your IP address and change it to the desired country’s IP address such as US, UK or Canada.
