How to Watch ATRESplayer Outside Spain in 2021

By Novak Bozovic / August 5, 2021

Thanks to TV shows such as "#Luimelia" and "La Veneno," ATRESplayer has been on the rise during the last year. However, even though many have started talking about this Spanish streaming service, its international expansion seems to be going rather slow. So, naturally, many of you wonder how to watch ATRESplayer outside Spain in 2021 – and that's precisely what TechNadu will help you answer. 

First and foremost, know that it’s possible to unblock ATRESplayer from anywhere in the world. No matter if you have a subscription or if you’re yet to subscribe, we’ll show you a way to access this streaming service’s content. Let’s jump right in. 

Where Is ATRESplayer Available? 

At the moment, ATRESplayer is available in Spain, the United States, and across several Latin American countries. 

Therefore, it’s true that ATRESplayer has started to reach more countries outside of its original region of availability (Spain). Still, due to broadcasting and licensing rights, know that not all versions of this streaming service are the same. With that said, the most content-rich version is the original version, available in Spain. 

Tip

ATRESplayer checks your location based on your IP address, which you can change using a VPN service (here’s what more VPNs can do). The same principle applies to unblocking other streaming services outside Spain, such as Mitele and fuboTV Espana.

Finally, here are the 6 steps to watch ATRESplayer outside Spain in 2021: 

Step #1: Find the Best-Working VPN to Unblock ATRESplayer

Once you land on the VPN's website, pick 'Get ExpressVPN' and then select a subscription plan. Take your time to inspect your options, but keep in mind that long-term plans come with significant discounts.

Complete the initial setup by following on-screen prompts, and proceed to the next step once you reach ExpressVPN's home screen.

Step #4: Connect to a VPN Server in Spain

To watch ATRESplayer outside Spain, you must connect to a VPN server in that country first. So, open ExpressVPN and select the button you’ll see just below the prominent ON/OFF switch. This will open a new window, listing more than 3,000 VPN servers on offer by this VPN. 

Steps to Connect to ExpressVPN Spain Server

Use the top-placed search bar to look up 'Spain.' Then, double-click on that country’s name or pick any individual server in Spain. ExpressVPN will take a moment to connect you. Once that happens, the upper third of its home screen will turn green. That means you now have an active VPN session, so you can proceed to unblock ATRESplayer. 

Step #5 (If You Want to Log In): Access the Spanish Version of ATRESplayer

This step is for existing ATRESplayer subscribers who are outside of Spain at the moment. So, now that you've connected to a VPN server in the country, access ATRESplayer using a Web browser. Give it a moment until the website loads, and then log in to your account by picking the profile account icon in the top-right corner. 

Accessing ATRESplayer outside Spain Using ExpressVPN

From this moment on, you’ll have full access to ATRESplayer, as long as your VPN session is active. Feel free to stream anything, watch live TV, or check the latest trailers – everything will be accessible, without any restrictions whatsoever.

Step #6 (If You Want to Sign Up): Access the American Version of ATRESplayer

If you’re outside of regions where ATRESplayer is available and if you want to subscribe, you’ll need to do that via the American version of the streaming service. With that said, you’ll need an American Google or Apple ID, which is the main requirement here. 

If you don't have one, you can always get a new Apple ID (for iPhones and iPads) or create a new Google account (for Android devices). Make sure to use ExpressVPN while signing up. Pick 'United States' when asked about your country. Apple will also ask for your address, so use this random US address generator. Also, make sure to log in using your new account on your iPhone, iPad, or Android (by logging out of your old account first, of course). 

Signing Up for Apple ID

Then, you’ll need to add funds to your account. For that purpose, you need to purchase either a Google or Apple gift card (via Amazon, delivered to your email). Keep in mind that ATRESplayer costs between $4.99 per month up to $49.99 per year. Then, here’s how to redeem your gift card (Google, Apple). 

Buying iTunes Apple Gift Card

Proceed to download the ATRESplayer app (iOS/iPadOS, Android). Also, make sure that you're connected to a VPN server via ExpressVPN – and that has to be a server located in the United States. Launch the app and then choose the option to subscribe. Since you'll have pre-paid funds on your account, you'll use those to subscribe to ATRESplayer and unblock it from anywhere in the world. That's it!
