Here’s how to watch the Game of Thrones prequel anywhere in the world.

How to watch House of the Dragon in the UK

In the UK, you can watch House of the Dragon on Sky Atlantic and Now TV. While you can catch them anywhere in the UK, if you’re heading abroad, it’s trickier as the content is geo-restricted. The easiest way to stream your favourite shows while abroad? With a handy VPN, like ExpressVPN.

Completely legal, a VPN changes the location of your IP address to get around the geo-targeting issue – so you can keep on top of your TV programmes post-pool day and not miss a beat of the action.
