How to Watch Bachelor in Paradise in Canada (Easy!)

Cutting the cord in Canada doesn’t mean missing the latest drama on Bachelor in Paradise. The ABC reality spinoff airs live only in the United States, which makes it tricky to stream north of the border.

Luckily, with the right tools and a U.S. streaming subscription, you can still watch every rose ceremony and beachside twist in real time. This guide explains why it’s blocked, how to set up a VPN, which platforms carry ABC, and the payment steps you’ll need to pass.

Why you can’t watch Bachelor in Paradise in Canada

• ABC and partner services detect your IP address as Canadian and block access.
• Streaming platforms like YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Fubo require a U.S. ZIP code at signup.
• Most demand a U.S. payment method (credit card or PayPal with a U.S. billing ZIP).
• Some apps (like Hulu) also verify GPS/Wi-Fi location on mobile devices.

How to watch Bachelor in Paradise in Canada (step-by-step)

To bypass these restrictions, you’ll need both a VPN and a U.S. streaming service that carries ABC. We recommend ExpressVPN because it’s fast, has servers across the U.S., and reliably works with streaming platforms. Apps are available for Firestick, iOS, Android, Windows, and smart TVs.

How to get a valid U.S. ZIP / billing address legally

If you don’t have a U.S. billing address, don’t try to fake one. Instead, use a legal option: ask a friend or relative in the U.S. to use their address (with permission); sign up for a reputable virtual mailbox or mail-forwarding service such as MyUS, Shipito, US Global Mail, VirtualPostMail, or Stackry; or use a legitimately issued U.S. prepaid or gift card where supported. Some viewers also use a verified U.S. PayPal account.

If you’re traveling or based elsewhere, you can still keep up with the show overseas. For example, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to watch Bachelor in Paradise in the UK, which walks through VPN setup and streaming options for viewers outside North America.

Note: certain streaming services may still reject forwarding-service addresses for billing verification, so always check the service’s help pages before subscribing.
