How to watch ‘Survivor’: Season 44 Stream From Anywhere

The long-running reality show Survivor is back on screen and a new group of tough contestants are ready to battle it out for a chance to win $1 million.

Now in its 22nd year on the air, original host Jeff Probst is back for season 44, along with the familiar setting of Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands.

Divided into three tribes, the contestants are forced to fend for themselves over 26 days while facing multiple trials for rewards and immunity from elimination. The new season has kicked off in dramatic style with three medical interventions in the first three days, and a successful Shot in the Dark for the first time in the show’s history.

Between the weird walking meme Carolyn, and the sleazy salon owner Yam Yam, it’s arguably the wildest cast of characters the show has ever boasted. Season 44 looks to be one of the strongest seasons of Survivor in a while, so read on to find out how to watch, no matter where you are in the world.

Can I watch Survivor season 44 in the UK?

Tips for streaming Survivor 44 using a VPN

• With four variables at play – your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN – experience and success may vary.
• If you don’t see the location you want as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for your city or country” option.
• If you’re having trouble viewing it after turning on your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try as a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and ensure that the address registered for the address in the viewing area is correct. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps that you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll need to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network will now appear in the correct viewing position.
• All VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site to quickly install the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a network app, you will be asked to verify a numeric code or click on a link sent to your email address on a file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
• And remember, browsers can often give away location despite using a VPN, so make sure you’re using a privacy browser first to log into your services. We usually recommend Brave.
