How to live stream Canelo Alvarez vs Billy Joe Saunders from anywhere

Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will face off against Billy Joe Saunders at 11 PM ET / 8 PM PT on May 8. However, there’s plenty of action to look forward to before then, with the main card beginning three hours earlier, at 8 PM ET. Will this be the fight that puts an end to Saunders’ 30-0 streak or will Alvarez lose his shot at holding all three of his division’s titles? The only way to find out is to watch, and we’ll let you know how to do this below.

Before we begin, you should note that we’ll only be recommending official Canelo vs Saunders streams. It’s not unusual for there to be unlicensed streams of high-profile sporting events, but these are often taken down partway through, and there are no guarantees as to their video quality. For the best possible experience, we strongly suggest sticking to the fight’s official broadcaster; it’s reasonably priced and even offers a trial period in some countries, meaning you can effectively watch Alvarez vs Saunders for free.

Alvarez vs Saunders will only be shown on a single region-locked streaming service. If you’re traveling in a country where this is unavailable, you’ll need a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to watch on your usual home services.

How to watch Alvarez vs Saunders online with a VPN

VPNs encrypt your data, enhancing your digital privacy, but they also allow you to spoof your location. This helps you access geo-restricted services from anywhere in the world, making it trivially simple to stream the Alvarez vs Saunders fight while traveling.

Here’s how to live stream Alvarez vs Saunders online from anywhere:

1. The first step is to choose a reputable VPN provider. We recommend NordVPN but Surfshark and ExpressVPN are two fast and secure alternatives.
2. Next, install the VPN onto whichever device you’d like to watch the fight on.
3. Open your VPN app and connect to a server in your home country. This will change your IP address and prevent DAZN from realizing you’re actually abroad.
4. Create a DAZN account (or login if you already have one). Note that DAZN has especially strong VPN-detection abilities, so if you can’t access your country’s version of the site, you might want to try using a Canadian server instead.
5. Finally, try playing a video. In most cases, it should start immediately. If you see an error, clear your cookies and reload the page, or contact your VPN’s support team to ask if there’s a specific server you should be using.

How to live stream Alvarez vs Saunders online from anywhere

DAZN is showing this fight in more than 200 countries around the world including the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, and Japan.

The price varies pretty wildly depending on which country you’re in. For instance, American fans can expect to pay $19.99 USD per month, whereas those in the UK and other regions where DAZN has only recently launched pay far less, usually around $2.50 USD per month.

If you’re lucky enough to live in Canada, Japan, or Switzerland, you can even take advantage of a one-month trial, meaning as long as you cancel after the fight, you can effectively stream it for free.

Traveling in Mexico or a region where DAZN is unavailable? You can still watch the fight by connecting to a VPN server in a different country. NordVPN even has a 30-day money-back guarantee, allowing you to try it risk-free and claim a full refund if it fails to meet your expectations.

How to watch Alvarez vs Saunders in Mexico

Saul Alvarez is from Mexico, and his home country actually has a different broadcaster from everywhere else in the world. This entire event will be shown free of charge on Azteca Deportes, from 9 PM CDT on May 8.

You don’t have to create an account to watch Azteca online. However, you will have to be in Mexico (or connected to a Mexican VPN server).

Who is expected to win?

This is an especially difficult match to call given that both fighters have near-perfect records. As such, this might be a fight where ring experience makes all the difference. Canelo has lost a single match in his 58-fight career, and that was back in 2013, to Floyd Mayweather. Meanwhile, Saunders has no losses, but slightly under half as many professional bouts under his belt.

It’s generally agreed that Canelo is one of the best power punchers in the sport at the moment. To prove it, you need look no further than his statistics: nearly two-thirds of his victories come from a knockout. Saunders, on the other hand, has a knockout rate of just under 50% and will have to keep moving if he hopes to go the full 12 rounds. Will he be able to do this while fending off the onslaught from a man who’s one belt away from unifying the titles? You’ll have to tune it to find out!
