How Can I Watch the Critics' Choice Awards When Outside of the United States?

If you're going to be traveling outside of the United States when the Critics' Choice Awards are on, you can still watch them on the platforms you pay for at home. The thing is these services are geo-blocked, so you won't be able to do so freely. More specifically, you're going to need a VPN that will help you unblock the content regardless of your location. It will help change your IP address, so the site believes you are back home rather than traveling the world.

We can recommend you use ExpressVPN, which is a great service that comes with thousands of servers across the world, including the United States.

Here's how you can set up the VPN so you can start watching the Critics' Choice Awards:

Can I Watch the Critics' Choice Awards on The CW Website?

Unfortunately, that's not something that you will be able to do because The CW does not carry a live stream on its website. This means that the only way that you will be able to enjoy the show is with the help of one of the platforms we already discussed, namely fuboTV, Hulu, and YouTube TV.

Can I Watch the Critics' Choice Awards With a TV Antenna?

Watching the Critics' Choice Awards with a TV antenna is actually something that you will be able to do because The CW is one of the few channels that continue to broadcast over-the-air. This means that you can use a simple TV antenna to watch any of your favorite shows on the network. Since TV antennas are so cheap, they obviously are quite popular among those who seek to cut their costs from cable companies.

We think that you should visit a site such as NoCable before making any purchase because it will help you figure out if you can even watch The CW in your specific location. Furthermore, you will also be able to see how far the broadcast stations are from your location, so you will know exactly what range you need your device to have for you to watch as many networks as possible. Check the antennas that are listed above in case any of them have the right features for your household.
