As we are all stuck inside most days due to the pandemic, it's becoming more challenging to keep our spirits up. Match Game is returning to ABC for yet another season, however, and we're hoping you'll find a cool way to say positive and enjoy the game show. We plan to watch Match Game online, so let's figure out all the steps you need to take to do this as well.
Match Game has been around for a long time, but it was only revived by ABC in 2016, with Alec Baldwin as both host and executive producer. Over the past six decades, since Match Game first aired on NBC, the show has made the rounds at all major networks, running on CBS for a few years, before landing on ABC for the latest revival.
The show features contestants trying to answer fill in the blank questions that have to match the answers given by celebrities invited on the show.

How Can I Watch Match Game When Traveling Outside of the United States?
Whenever you travel outside of the United States, you lose the ability to access the platforms you are accustomed to at home because live TV platforms and streaming services are geo-blocked. It means that, as soon as your IP changes to reflect your new location, you are no longer welcomed to visit the services you subscribe to. To bypass this problem, you need to change your IP address with a VPN so that you appear to be in the United States rather than anywhere else in the world. We use ExpressVPN because it's such a great tool, featuring thousands of servers over the world and some great privacy features.
Here's how you can use ExpressVPN to watch Match Game:
- You're going to have to visit the ExpressVPN website so you can subscribe to the service (49% OFF). On ExpressVPN, you will find a 30-day money-back guarantee policy, so if you have any trust issues with such a service, you can still get your money back if you change your mind.
- You then need to download the app for your device and install it. Make sure to launch the tool soon after and log in to your account, so the app is prepared for immediate use.
- Look for a server located in the United States and select it.
- The process only takes a few minutes to complete, and then you'll be able to load Hulu and start watching Match Game on ABC.
Can I Watch Match Game Live on the Network's Website?
If you're going to watch Match Game on the ABC website, you should know it's super-easy to do this as long as you have a TV subscription.

The TV provider in question can be one of the live TV services we've been discussing or a cable company if you haven't cut the cord yet.

The site will also tell you how far the broadcast stations are, so you know what range your device needs to cover. Make sure you also check the devices we listed above in case any of them have the right features for you.
