Emanuel Navarrete vs Eduardo Baez will take place on Saturday, August 20 at Pechanga Arena in San Diego, California. Navarrete looks to defend his WBO featherweight title. The two fighters are expected to ring walk at 10 PM EST (7 PM PST / 3 AM BST). Unfortunately, if you’re traveling abroad, you may find streams to be region-locked. For this reason, you’ll need a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to navigate restrictions.
As is often the case with live sporting events, there’ll likely be unlicensed streams to be found. However, we’re only recommending official sources for watching Navarrete vs Baez. We’ve found unauthorized streams to be far too unreliable due to poor performance (low resolution and lag) and at risk of being taken offline for copyright infringement. Besides, there are multiple legal ways to stream Navarrete vs Baez online from overseas.
Navarrete vs Baez will only be streaming on region-locked platforms. Going on vacation? You’re going to need a VPN to watch via your regular streaming service from back home.
With a VPN, you can change your IP address so that it looks as if you’re accessing a streaming service from the country in which it’s available. You’ll then be able to bypass any geographic restrictions and watch Navarrete vs Baez online from anywhere.
Here’s how to live stream Navarrete vs Baez using a VPN:
- Sign up with a VPN provider. We recommend NordVPN although you can’t go wrong with high-quality alternatives such as Surfshark or ExpressVPN.
- Download the VPN app that’s compatible with your streaming device. The above VPNs have desktop, mobile, and Smart TV apps as well as browser extensions.
- Log in to the VPN app and connect to a server in the US for streaming via ESPN or a server in the UK for Sky Sports or Now.
- Go to your preferred streaming platform and sign in to your account. Select a live stream to check that the content is no longer geo-blocked.
- Note that you may need to clear your cookies for changes to take effect. It’s also worth trying multiple servers (and clearing cookies between each new attempt).
The Navarrete vs Baez fight will be broadcast live. If you don’t want to miss out due to a last minute hiccup, it’s worth testing your VPN with your chosen platform ahead of time. You will then have time to troubleshoot any issue with your VPN’s customer support.
