On the NHL slate tonight is a match between the Buffalo Sabres and the Chicago Blackhawks. It begins in an hour, at 7:30 p.m. ET, and takes place at the Keybank Center in Buffalo New York. For locals, the game will be broadcast on MSG, but everyone else will have to tune in a different way to watch live. If you’re wondering how to watch the Sabres vs Blackhawks live stream, possibly even for free, we have all the details for you. It’s going to be an exciting match and you won’t want to miss it.
How to watch the Sabres vs Blackhawks live stream
Since the Panthers vs Red Wings game is being broadcast on MSG on local networks, that limits where you’ll be able to tune in outside the area. You could use MSG+ which is the network’s streaming service, but we recommend using another platform. Instead, we find it’s better to watch live sports like tonight’s game on FuboTV, now just called Fubo after rebranding.
With Fubo you can watch live cable TV channels online and from a variety of compatible devices like mobile, but also, you can watch a ton of live sports events. Depending on where you live, and the subscription tier you choose, you’ll get access to over 180 channels. The Pro plan is $80 per month for 184 channels, 1,000 hours of Cloud DVR storage so you can record live TV and watch later, and you can stream on up to 10 screens at once.
How to watch the Sabres vs Blackhawks live stream for free
There is a neat loophole you can use to watch the Sabres vs Blackhawks live stream for free. Fubo has a free trial so you can watch for an entire week and you won’t have to pay a dime. During your free trial, you can watch any live sports that are broadcast like the Sabres vs Blackhawks game. Some other notable channels you can watch are FX, ESPN, TLC, NFL Network, FOX, Bally Sports, MSNBC, and more. Be sure to sign up before the NHL match starts, though. You have to install the Fubo app where you want to watch. You’ll miss some of the action if that’s not done before the start of the game at 7:30 PM EST tonight.
How to watch the Sabres vs Blackhawks live stream from abroad
When you’re outside of the country, traveling abroad, you won’t be able to access content on your favorite streaming services, sometimes including entire libraries. The big names like Netflix, ESPN, and Disney geo-restrict or block access based on your current IP. Since your IP is assigned based on your current location, they know you’re in a different country. However, you can bypass region locks with a VPN or virtual private network. A VPN assigns you a remote IP when you connect so it looks like you’re logging in from your home country. Our top pick for this is NordVPN.
There is a free trial for NordVPN so you can give it a try for up to a month, or, you can capitalize on their fantastic discounts. The middle-tier Plus plan is 52% off at $4.99 per month or $120 for the first two years, instead of its $254 standard price. That includes the VPN software, malware protection, trackers and ad blockers, a cross-platform password manager, and a data breach scanner. It’s best to sign up and set it all up before tonight’s big game so you can watch with no interruptions.
