Here's how to watch a 49ers vs Cowboys live stream from anywhere in the world. The San Francisco 49ers vs Dallas Cowboys kicks off on Sunday 22nd January at 6.30pm ET / 11.30pm GMT.
Game four of the divisional round in the 2023 NFL playoffs has a whiff of déjà vu. The 49ers and Cowboys met in the playoffs this time last year as well, and that game went down to the wire – in the end, the 49ers edged it 23-17, so the Cowboys will be looking for revenge (even 12 months later, the Cowboys are still smarting). This time around, the 49ers have the home advantage, which helps make them the favorites. But in the playoffs, anything can happen.

This year's match takes place at San Francisco's Levi's Stadium, with the 49ers the clear favorite. It's the second road game in a week for the Cowboys, after they beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night, so Dallas will need to overcome their fatigue if they want to stand a chance. They seemed to find their offensive feet against the Buccaneers, pulling off a convincing 31-14 victory. The 49ers are better than Tampa Bay defensively, so the Cowboys will need to move the ball to be in with a shot.
The 49ers' quarterback Brock Purdy has been on outstanding form since taking over as starter towards the end of the regular season, but the Cowboys' defense is sure to test him. Call Dallas pull off the upset? Or will the 49ers repeat last year's performance?
As ever, NFL games are spread across multiple TV networks and streaming services, which can be a nightmare for casual viewers and dedicated fans alike. Whether you're in the UK, Australia, USA or further afield, we've tried and tested all the best 49ers vs Cowboys live stream options.

Watch a 49ers vs Cowboys live stream from abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant NFL 2022/23 rights holders, you won't be able to access them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are a doddle to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30 days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
