Stuck Watching CCTV Sports Abroad? Here’s How Overseas Chinese Can Bypass Geo-Restrictions

I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break in Vancouver when I saw it – that familiar blue CCTV Sports logo flashing across my screen. The video thumbnail showed a group of people laughing while tossing flying discs, their faces glowing under the Chengdu sun. My thumb hovered over the play button, but as usual, the dreaded ‘This content is not available in your region’ message popped up. Sound familiar?

Stuck Watching CCTV Sports Abroad? Here's How Overseas Chinese Can Bypass Geo-Restrictions

The post was about the disc golf event at the World Games, where reporters found the most delightful mix of participants: kids still growing into their oversized jerseys, hardcore fans who’d traveled across provinces, and even a foreign son-in-law proudly calling himself a ‘Chengdu local.’ Through pixelated screenshots shared by friends back home, I could almost hear the plastic discs whizzing through the air and smell the sweat-and-sunscreen aroma of an outdoor competition.

Remember when we used to watch these events together? My college roommate Li Wei and I would crowd around a single laptop in our dorm, sharing earphones to catch Olympic highlights. Now she’s in Melbourne, I’m in Canada, and we both miss those simple moments of collective joy. Last week, she texted me: ‘Found a café showing the World Games, but they only have European sports channels. Feels like drinking boba without pearls.’

What struck me most was the foreign participant speaking fluent Sichuan dialect – proof that sports really do transcend borders. Yet here we are, separated not by language or culture, but by frustrating digital barriers. The comment section was filled with overseas Chinese expressing the same frustration: ‘Why can’t we cheer for our hometown athletes?’ ‘My kids want to see the flying disc competitions too!’

So here’s what I’ve learned after months of trial and error (and many failed VPN connections): There are actually several reliable ways to access these geo-blocked contents. But before we get to the technical solutions, let me ask – what’s your most missed Chinese sports event? For me, it’s the table tennis tournaments where my dad would suddenly become an armchair coach, yelling ‘Backhand spin!’ at the TV. Share yours below, and let’s get everyone back in the game!
