FanDuel Sports Network and VPNs: Location Checks Explained
FanDuel Sports Network streams are tied to your location. Understand what the app checks, why VPNs trigger errors and how to fix legitimate location errors.
The short answer
- 1.The app combines IP address, device GPS and your account's package to decide what you can watch.
- 2.If you're in-market and see a location error, the VPN is the likely cause — turn it off first.
- 3.Out-of-market viewers should use the sanctioned route for their team rather than a VPN workaround.
Location error while you're really at home
- 01Turn off any VPN, including one on your router or phone.
- 02On mobile, turn on precise location for the FanDuel Sports Network app in system settings.
- 03Restart the app and sign in again.
- 04On a TV, check that the device's network isn't routed through a VPN or a private-relay-style setting.
Travelling or living outside your team's market
Read the broadcast and DTC rules on the network's official site. Rights can differ by team, season and device. When the product simply isn't sold in your area, no setting inside the app will change that.
