How to watch Grammys 2022 from abroad with a VPN
Stuck outside the United States? US nationals can access Paramount Plus from overseas using a VPN (Virtual Private Network). We typically recommend ExpressVPN since it offers a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.
A VPN lets you can sign into your your Paramount Plus account (or even create a new one) as if you were back home in the States. Good to know, right?
How to use a VPN
Using a VPN is as easy as asking Cortana.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.
2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For the Grammys, you may wish to choose 'USA' for Paramount+.
3. Then head over to Paramount+ on your browser or device and enjoy the 2022 Grammys live stream.
Watch the Grammys live stream in the UK
Bad news: no streaming services or channels have picked up the rights to broadcast the 2022 Grammys in the UK. You can't even watch a highlights package!
But remember: US nationals can live stream the Grammys on Paramount+ and use a VPN to access Paramount+ when outside the US.
Watch the Grammys live stream in Australia
Channel 10 typically has the rights to air the Grammys in Australia, but there's been no confirmation of that as yet.
Don't fret, though. Paramount+ will offer Aussies a 2022 Grammys live stream. Subscription costs AU$8.99 a month and new users get a 7-day free trial.
Remember to use a VPN to access your Paramount+ account when travelling outside of Australia.
It looks like Grammys.com and the Grammys YouTube channel will host a free live stream, too.
