They have to rely on different streaming services to watch the games and it seems like Watt faced a similar issue.

Someone in his camp has to know about IPTV services 😂. Hit me up if you don’t!

Thank you JJ. The worst part actually is not the streaming part (if you have GamePass), but the time zone differences. Night games start for me 2:30am, which is killer.

There were even comments from fans from other parts of the globe.
The struggle is real. I live in Ireland it is tough. It is fine when your team plays at 1PM EST, but prime time games are tough at 1:20AM GMT. You need a dodgy box! I got a guy if you are interested.

Finally, a fan from Mexico also spoke about their perils.
That’s right!! That’s why I have Game Pass for México 🇲🇽. But i couldn’t find the college pass or somethig. I use YouTube in some games !!!
