The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show is unarguably the most watched runway show in the world, with more than 800 million viewers tuning in annually to check out the latest styles from the brand. Beautiful women in sexy lingerie, coupled with headliner music performances from stars like Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift, fuel its popularity.

While details of this year’s show are slowly starting to filter out, for many people living around the world, watching it live presents a challenge. The show is typically aired on CBS. Recently, Hulu also got a license to stream the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.  The problem, however, is that both of these streaming services will only allow you to stream this show if you are in the U.S. You would also need cable or a Hulu account to view it.

When you visit the CBS online streaming service, or the Hulu website, the service will first detect your location before giving you an opportunity to sign up and start streaming shows. These services are able to detect your location by reading your IP address. When your IP address is not located in the U.S., then you are presented with a message telling you that you cannot stream on their network.

When you subscribe to a VPN, your IP address is masked as your connection will be routed through the VPN server located in the country of your choice – in the case of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, it would be the U.S. When you activate a VPN, then you are able to hide your IP address and have it appear as though you were trying to stream from the U.S.

  1. Choose a VPN that suits your budget and offers a server in the U.S. – like the ones we have listed below. Some of these VPNs will give you a chance to try them for free.
  2. After subscribing to the VPN, install it on the device that you want to watch Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on. This may include your Windows or Mac computer, or a mobile device. Some VPNs can be installed on multiple devices at once.
  3. Select one of the servers located in the United States and click on the “Connect” button. Be sure to look for servers that are not overloaded and that have a green bar in the “health” section. When the bar is red, it means the server may be slow, and you won’t be able to stream the show in HD.
  4. Visit Hulu in your web browser or download the app – sign up (you can start with a free trial).
  5. Once you have signed up for Hulu, simply use the search feature to find Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show – you can now start watching the show.
  • VPNs are compatible with most operating systems, including Linux, Mac, and Windows.
  • Some VPNs also offer mobile apps that can be installed on your iPhone, iPad, or Android device.
  • Browser extensions are sometimes provided that give you access to the VPN servers directly in your web browser.
  • DNS services are also sometimes available, which allows you to configure your router, as well as your Smart TV.

Not all VPNs can offer you access to high-quality and fast servers. The VPNs listed below are all able to access serves that will provide you with a U.S. server and allow you to stream successfully either from CBS or Hulu. Once you’ve subscribed, look at the status of each server before choosing one to stream the show with.

You will notice that month-to-month subscriptions are generally more expensive than signing up for a year in advance. It is, however, a good idea to start with a single month’s subscription to test the service first. Most of these VPNs give you a 30-day money-back guarantee that you can use if you do not like the servers they give you access to.
