Would you like to watch the Summer Olympics on Dutch TV? Did you know that NOS/NPO will broadcast this fantastic event in the Netherlands? And they are so nice that they will let everyone watch every single event online on their website. But, how can I watch NOS/NPO if I live outside the Netherlands? How can I watch the Summer Olympics on NOS abroad? I will give you the answer in this article!
NOS is a fantastic TV channel in the Netherlands, and even though I don’t live in the Netherlands, I know that it is fantastic for TV programs and for live sports events, including the Summer Olympics. But, there is a big problem. If you live outside the Netherlands and try to watch a program on NPO.nl, you will see an error message looking like this.
The message above tells you that you cannot watch the live stream because you are located outside the Netherlands. What can you do to fix this? Is there a way to watch NPO/NOS even when outside the Netherlands? Yes, but it isn’t very easy – unless you keep on reading this article.
There are lots of websites with wrong information on the topic, and that is why it is important to read this.
The solution is to use a VPN!
If you search the Internet for information about how to watch NOS abroad or how to watch the Summer Olympcis online, you will find many pages telling you that using a VPN is the solution, just like I am in this article.
But, there is a big difference. Many articles will recommend just any VPN, but if you want to watch the Summer Olympics on NOS abroad, it isn’t enough to use any VPN. The reason is simple. NOS is blocking many VPN providers. As a result, you can use a VPN service and get an IP address in the Netherlands, but you will still see the error message above.
What am I saying?
It isn’t enough to get an IP address in the Netherlands, and it isn’t enough to use any VPN. You need to use a VPN that is actually working with NOS, and in this article I will give you the name of two such VPN providers.
I wrote my first about watching NOS abroad in 2012, and since then, a lot has changed. Back then, I would recommend HideMyAss, IPVanish, and several other VPN providers. Today, however, I can only recommend ExpressVPN and SurfsharkVPN. Here I will show you how it works.
Watch NOS abroad with ExpressVPN
ExpressVPN might be the best VPN in the world for unblocking TV networks and streaming services.

Watch NOS abroad with Surfshark
SurfsharkVPN is the name of a VPN provider founded in 2018. They have become extremely popular since then and the main reason is that it is fantastic for streaming. They have servers in more than 60 countries, they have no bandwidth limits, and you can use one subscriptiön on an unlimited number of devices.

A few words about the Summer Olympics
The Summer Olympics will be arranged in Tokyo between July 23rd and August 8th in 2021. They were originally supposed to be held in 2020, but the entire event was postponed for one year because of COVID-19.
A few football matches will be played on July 21st and July 22nd, but the opening ceremony will be held on July 23rd, and the first medals will be handed out on July 24th.
This is the first time in history that a Summer Olympics has been postponed. Due to security measures, they will not allow foreign tourists to come to Japan to watch the competitions. This is to make sure that Covid will not spread as people from all around the world come together for the Summer Olympics.
During the Summer Olympics in Rio in 2016, the Netherlands won 8 gold medals, 7 silver medals, and 4 bronze medals. Will they perform better this time? What do you think?
