How to watch the BAFTAs in the US

If you are in the US, the best way to watch the awards ceremony is to create a BritBox account and use the platform to stream the BAFTAs. Alternatively, viewers can use a VPN so they can access the ceremony on BBC iPlayer.

VPNs (virtual private networks) are a popular way to access TV shows only available in other countries. A VPN is an easy-to-use piece of software that lets you change your device's IP address so it looks like you’re in the UK. This means you can use any UK streaming service such as BBC iPlayer as if you're in the country.

If you're already confused, don't fret! Our sister site, TechRadar, has put every major VPN service to the test to save you the hassle of sifting through the web yourself. 

They've rated ExpressVPN as the best because, "It’s compatible with all of your devices, supports most streaming services, and ranks among the fastest. You can even install it on devices like an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV, Xbox, and PlayStation. So for a one-stop-shop, you can’t go wrong with Express."
