Watching FCR games online as a Foreigner in Japan

There is an outstanding service provider known as DAZN here in Japan that allows you to watch all the FCR games on a PC, smart phone w/ their app or Apple TV. There maybe more devices but these are the 3 I use most often.

Now there are 2 ways I know of to get a subscription with DAZN.

First, if you have a Japanese credit card or possibly bank account you can sign up directly with their website. Second, and the one I suggest for those of us here without Japanese accounts, is use Docomo for your cell phone provider.

I am not sure if Docomo and DAZN still run this promotion but as a Docomo subscriber you’d only have to pay 750 Yen per month that is automatically added to your bill. You can then use your docomo account to create and log into DAZN.

The only other option I can think of is to have a Japanese Friend or Spouse set up the account in their name and provide you the log in info.

I was told by DAZN that you can log in with the same account multiple devices. They told me this because I was asking how I could watch multiple games at the same time on the same screen and they don’t have that feature yet so they suggested the above.

The last two points; first, DAZN servers know when you’re using a VPN so you cannot access it outside of the country you signed up for. If you sign up for an account using U.S. Bank info you’ll probably get a U.S. based account that cannot access anything from here in Japan.

Second, DAZN is 1,500.00 YEN per month (USD $15.00 or less depending on exchange rate) and is well worth it. There is a ton of football content: All 3 JLeagues (J1,J2&J3), English Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1, Seria A, UEFA CL & Europa League, most countries FA Cup and then the bevy of other sports from Motorsports to tennis. For those of you that miss American NFL, they have that too and its far better than paying for the NFL GamePass at $200.00. You get all the prime time NFL games per week and one at each of the 1 & 4 pm kickoffs. Plus the NFL Redzone which is the best if you’re lime me and love Fantasy Football.
