How to Watch Good Morning America Live in the UK (Step-by-Step)

Cutting the cord in Britain doesn’t mean missing Good Morning America. ABC’s stream is U.S.-only, but with the right VPN and a U.S. live-TV bundle (YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, Fubo, or DIRECTV STREAM), you can watch GMA live in the UK.

This guide shows you why it’s blocked, how to pass location and payment checks, and how to set it up on phones, laptops, smart TVs, and Firestick.

Why you can’t watch Good Morning America in the UK

• ABC and its streaming partners are geo-restricted to the U.S. and block non-U.S. IP addresses.
• Some apps (especially Hulu + Live TV and YouTube TV) also check GPS/Wi-Fi location on mobile devices.
• Most platforms require a U.S. payment method (card or PayPal with a U.S. billing ZIP).

The quick fix: use a VPN

A VPN routes your traffic through a U.S. server so platforms think you’re in America. For reliability and speed, we recommend ExpressVPN. It has multiple U.S. server locations, fast speeds, and easy apps for Firestick, iOS, Android, and smart TVs.
