Super 6 Login Abroad: How to Access Super 6 from Outside the UK

Man winning money on Super6 holding football

Super 6 is back for another season but if you’re abroad you’ll find yourself blocked from logging in.

The Super 6 service is only officially available in the UK, Ireland, Channel Islands and Gibraltar. If you travel outside those countries you’ll be blocked the moment you try to log in and play.

In this guide I’m going to show you the quick and effective way that will let you log in to Super 6 abroad, including why the app blocks you even when you’ve got a VPN running, and how to fix it.

So if you want to access Super 6 overseas and you’ve been looking for the solution then this guide is for you.

Quick-Guide: How to log in to Super 6 from abroad

  1. Sign up for a VPN, I recommend NordVPN.
  2. Download and login to their app.
  3. Turn off location services on your device.
  4. Select the United Kingdom in the VPN app and press Connect.
  5. Open the Super 6 website in your browser and log in as normal.

Why Super 6 blocks you abroad, and why a VPN alone sometimes isn’t enough

Most geo-blocked sites just check your IP address. Change your IP with a VPN and you’re in. Super 6 is a bit sneakier than that.

The Super 6 app on Android and iPhone uses your device’s GPS location services alongside your IP address to work out where you are. So even if your VPN is connected to the UK, the app can still see your GPS coordinates and block your login.

This is why a lot of people connect to a UK VPN server, open the Super 6 app, and still get blocked. It’s not that the VPN isn’t working, it’s that the app is checking your physical location separately.

The fix is straightforward:

  • Turn off location services on your device before you open the Super 6 app. On iPhone go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services and toggle it off. On Android go to Settings > Location and turn it off.
  • Then connect your VPN to the UK and open the app.

If that still doesn’t work, the most reliable method is to skip the app entirely and log in through the Super 6 website in your phone’s browser instead. Plenty of readers have confirmed this works even when the app refuses to play ball. You don’t lose your account, leagues or predictions, it’s the same login, just accessed differently.

What you need to log in to Sky Super 6 abroad

To play Super 6 in another country you’ll need to get a VPN service.

This comes as a VPN app you download for your device. They work with all kinds of devices from phones and tablets through to laptops and even regular computers.

A VPN app lets you change your location. So if you’re in Spain, America, Australia or anywhere else you can make it look like you’re in the UK.

A VPN will cost you a couple of quid per month and the longer you sign up for the cheaper they are. If you’re outside the UK for some time it can be well worth taking a 12-month deal as NordVPN is nearly 50% cheaper that way.

My recommended VPN services to play Super 6 overseas:

  1. NordVPNHighly recommended
  2. CyberGhost VPN
  3. IPVanish

All three have a 30-day money back guarantee so if you can’t get it working then simply get a refund.

Once you’ve chosen one of the providers above and signed up, follow the steps below to log in to Super 6 abroad.

How to log in to Super 6 abroad

Now you’ve got a VPN service you can use it to access Super 6 abroad. This is really easy and below I’ll show you the simple steps.

In my example I’m using NordVPN but the process is mostly the same using CyberGhost and IPVanish too. Just skip the first step if you’ve already signed up.

How to log in to Super 6 abroad step-by-step:

  1. Visit the NordVPN website, choose a subscription length and sign up for their service. I took the 12-month service to cover the full season.
  2. Download the app for your type of device from the ‘Download VPN’ section of their website.
  3. Before you do anything else, turn off location services on your phone or tablet.
  4. Open the NordVPN app and activate it or login when required.
  5. On the app choose Selected Location.
  6. Then press the United Kingdom.
  7. Wait for the app to connect or press Connect if it isn’t automatically.
  8. Open your browser and visit the Super 6 website to log in and play.
NordVPN app connecting to the UK

Access Super 6 anywhere using NordVPN.

Now that you’ve connected to NordVPN or one of the other providers, any websites or apps you use think you’re in the UK.

That means instead of being blocked by Super 6 you can now log in and access Super 6 abroad.

This lets you access and play Super 6 in America, Spain, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Thailand or ANY other country on the planet!

When you’ve finished playing simply quit the Super 6 website or their app and then disconnect from the VPN app. You can reconnect whenever you want and as many times as you want. Just remember to turn location services back on if you need them for other things.

It’s worth taking a look around our website because you can also use the VPN app to watch things like BBC iPlayer, TNT Sport and Sky Sports abroad.

Troubleshooting: still can’t log in to Super 6 abroad?

If you’re connected to a UK VPN server and Super 6 is still blocking your login, work through these in order:

VPN connected but still blocked on the app
This is almost always the GPS issue mentioned above. Make sure location services are fully off on your device, not just set to “while using the app.” Then reconnect your VPN and try again. If it still won’t budge, delete the app and log in through your mobile browser instead. This bypasses the GPS check entirely.

Blocked on the website too
Try switching to a different UK server within your VPN app. Sometimes a single server gets flagged. NordVPN, CyberGhost and IPVanish all have multiple UK servers so switching takes seconds, just pick a different one from the UK server list and reconnect.

The app says you’re not in the UK even with a VPN
Some Android devices have a secondary location setting under Developer Options. If you’ve enabled anything in there, disable it. On iPhone, make sure Wi-Fi location is also disabled and not just GPS.

Won’t work on a free VPN
Free VPNs rarely have the server quality to pass Super 6’s checks reliably. They’re also slower and less secure. If you’ve been trying with a free one, switch to a paid provider, all three recommended above offer a 30-day money back guarantee so there’s no risk in trying.

Will this work on my mobile or tablet?

Definitely. Whatever kind of device you would usually access Super 6 on in the UK will let you access it while you’re abroad, you just need to follow the location services step above if you’re using the app.

Just grab one of the VPN providers from the list above, sign up and connect to the UK. You should then visit the Super 6 site or use their app just as you would in the UK.

Use at your own risk

Accessing the Saturday Super 6 website outside the UK or its intended locations may be against the Terms & Conditions of the website. However, we can’t see anything that specifically mentions VPN at the time of writing.

If you won and they deemed you were abroad then you may have to forfeit your winnings. You should also ensure it’s legal to online gamble in the country you’re currently in.

That said, VPN apps are completely legal privacy tools which can be used inside the UK. It is basically impossible to determine if you’re in the UK or outside the UK when using a VPN. It would be only possible to determine you are using a VPN.

If for example you used the VPN inside the UK to play Super 6 to protect your internet privacy then you wouldn’t be breaking the Terms & Conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Can I log in to Super 6 abroad?
Yes, but you’ll need a VPN connected to a UK server. You’ll also need to turn off location services on your device if you’re using the app, as Super 6 uses GPS as well as your IP address to detect where you are.

Why is Super 6 blocking me even though I have a VPN?
The most common reason is location services. The Super 6 app checks your device’s GPS coordinates as well as your IP address. Even with a UK VPN active, your GPS can still reveal you’re abroad. Turn location services off and try again, or switch to logging in via the website in your browser instead.

Does Super 6 work with a VPN?
Yes, NordVPN, CyberGhost and IPVanish all work reliably for Super 6 access abroad. Free VPNs are far less reliable and not worth the hassle for this.

Can I play Super 6 on holiday?
Yes. As long as you connect to a UK VPN server before opening Super 6, you can play from anywhere in the world. Just remember to turn off your device’s location services if you’re using the app rather than the website.

Is it free to access Super 6 abroad?
Super 6 itself is free to play. You will need a paid VPN to access it reliably abroad though. All three providers recommended above cost a couple of quid a month and offer a 30-day money back guarantee if it doesn’t work for you.

Will I lose my Super 6 league or predictions if I use a VPN?
No. Your account, leagues and predictions are all tied to your Super 6 login, not your device or location. You’ll pick up exactly where you left off.

Conclusion

If you want to log in to Sky Sports Super Six abroad then you’ll need to get yourself a VPN service, and make sure you turn off location services on your device before you try the app.

This is a little app you download for your device that lets you pretend you’re in the UK. The result is you can log in to Super 6 abroad and play from anywhere.

I recommend starting with NordVPN as it’s the one I’ve been using and it’s consistently the most reliable for this. If you’d prefer to shop around, CyberGhost and IPVanish are both solid alternatives. All three have a 30-day money back guarantee so there’s nothing to lose.

If you’re outside the UK for a long period of time then the 12-month package is well worth it, it comes with 3-months free on top and saves you nearly 50% compared with paying monthly.

    Unfortunately this isn’t working, even when connecting to the VPN (I’m in Cyprus) and opening the Super 6 app I keep getting the same message saying:

    “Either you’re outside of ur permitted countries for using this app, or we weren’t able to validate your location. To use this app you’ll need to be in the UK or Ireland with a network connection and allow us to check your location via app settings.”

      Hi Tom,

      Two things to try.

      1) Turn airplane mode on and then re-enabled Wifi. Connect to the VPN and try again.

      or

      2) Use Surfshark VPN (https://www.vpncompare.co.uk/surfshark) which allows you to match your GPS location to the same location as the country you connect to on the VPN.

      Let us know how you get on.

  2. I’ve subscribed to your recommended VPN ExpressVPN but when I try to log onto super 6 it opens up for a few seconds and then throws me out before I can complete it. Any suggestions?

    • Christopher Seward

      Hi Steve,

      Is there any error message?

      Have you tried on another device or using a different browser?

  3. Using Surfshark from France and can’t access Super6! On an iPhone

    • Christopher Seward

      Hi Howard,

      We don’t recommend Surfshark for this reason.

  4. Terry

    I’ve downloaded VPN and still can’t connect to super6

  5. Geoff Cesareo

    Downloaded the recvomended vpn in Italy, connected as you said paid £12 for 1 month changed it to United Kingdom, hasn’t worked for me I’m on an iPhone

  6. David Hewitt

    I bought nordvpn and downloaded it and set it for United Kingdom. On my Samsung phone it is showing both the UK and local times in fuerteventura and won’t let me use super six or any betting site but I can use it on my fire stick for the television what am I doing wrong

    • Christopher Seward

      Hi David,

      You may need to enable airplane mode then re-enable Wi-Fi. It could be using GPS to determine your location.

  7. John

    Espresso VPN won’t let me access Sky Super 6 on board a cruise ship via its Wi-Fi.
    Any ideas why?

    • Christopher Seward

      Hi John,

      Have you tried a few different cities in the UK?

  8. Dave

    Express VPN won’t give access to Super 6 in Spain, I’ve tried and contacted them but they couldn’t resolve?

    • Christopher Seward

      Hi Dave,

      It’s possible it has been blocked. We recommend you get a refund and use NordVPN which works fine.

  9. Hi Christopher I will be in Santorini next May so is it as easy as you say to play super 6 abroad

  10. Alan

    I’m in cape Verdi off coast of Africa and have nord vpn but unable to get my soccer sixes working
