Need help: How to watch Michigan tonight in Venice, Italy?
A friend of mine is in Venice right now and his VPN on his phone is not working to allow him to stream the game. Is there a bar that will be showing the game and open late enough to watch at least the first half (kickoff will be around 1:30am local time)?
Thanks in advance for any help. Go Blue.

Ugh I hate these threads
August 31st, 2019 at 4:11 PM ^
Then why open it? Thread title is pretty clear.
August 31st, 2019 at 4:24 PM ^
Where else is there to voice one's displeasure? The Scalped Tix for Tonight thread?

Never been in a foreign country in the fall, eh?

See if the pope has cable and drop by his crib.
August 31st, 2019 at 4:09 PM ^
Works great in the states.

Can’t read the website... but googled “sports bar in Venice, Italy”

Does Hulu carry BTN?

Tell him to turn off location services on his phone and try again, some sites will use that to determine location instead of ip if it's available. Found that out with Foxsports last year from Lisbon.

You're in Venice.
Maybe enjoy that instead of watching a meaningless football game everyone knows we'll win
August 31st, 2019 at 4:45 PM ^
Well, now you jinxed it.
August 31st, 2019 at 5:24 PM ^
You clearly have no idea what matters in life

I should add that the links from “Grandma Streams” tend to be the most reliable. Try those first. I live in France and often use this.
August 31st, 2019 at 4:54 PM ^
Where are you living in France? I'm in Brittany.
August 31st, 2019 at 7:28 PM ^
Toulouse... it's too damn late/early to watch this!!
August 31st, 2019 at 4:49 PM ^
I am living in France and for the past 10 years I used BTN 2 GO International, but much to my surprised this no longer exists (and I had an active paid account!!). I am now trying to figure out if Fox sports allows access internationally... I have ESPN Player international for all ESPN games though.
August 31st, 2019 at 4:57 PM ^
I got the same surprise today as well. Looks like they sent an email last night saying that it is being discontinued and I will recieve a refund.
Fox Sports has no international streaming plan, so it's shady streams for non-ESPN games unfortunately.

ITS streams Fox through the campus network, if you have credentials.
August 31st, 2019 at 5:05 PM ^
As posted, the Reddit streams are very reliable. Otherwise Grandma streams works, but not all games are covered.
Just check here 15 minutes before game time and you will find the links.

The TEAM did take a trip to Italy couple years back. You'd think we made some fans there. Try Davide e Busteros.
August 31st, 2019 at 4:52 PM ^
Waiting until now to figure this out?? Did this trip catch him by surprise somehow?
August 31st, 2019 at 4:56 PM ^
He wasn't able to test the VPN until he arrived in Italy...
August 31st, 2019 at 5:34 PM ^
Regardless it’s a good effort. He must not be as much of a well traveled cone gobbler as yourself.

Reddit CFB streams is the way to go. Some streams require a US IP and some don't. As somebody else mentioned, grandma streams are the most reliable, but I've found that most of his FOX/BTN streams require a US IP. He will just have to use a trial and error method to see which one works for him.

In Venice, the game is going to start after 1 AM; I would just watch highlights on YouTube the next day.
August 31st, 2019 at 5:31 PM ^
Yeah, said as much in the OP...
August 31st, 2019 at 5:21 PM ^
One big problem for finding night games in Europe is the time zone difference. Many streaming pubs close at 2 AM (8PM EST).
Had that problem in Berlin about 15 years ago

Fly to Ann Arbor...quick!
August 31st, 2019 at 5:26 PM ^
It’s easy - if you have a friend who will help you
You need someone who is stateside to watch the game online. Then, via Skype, share screens

Does BTN2Go not work internationally? I thought I watched it without a VPN last fall from abroad, but I don't remember for sure.
August 31st, 2019 at 5:53 PM ^
Go on a Gondola ride and enjoy Venice. Was just there and didn’t see any sports bars but that doesn’t mean anything.
August 31st, 2019 at 8:30 PM ^
Drink heavily. That’s how.
