Watch Britain’s Got Talent season 18 online from anywhere
Arriving early to brighten up winter, Britain’s Got Talent is back on our screens and promises to be longer, “wilder”, and more brilliant than ever before, with YouTube star KSI joining as a guest judge.
UK fans can watch Britain’s Got Talent season 18 online free with ITVX. Currently away from home? Simply download a VPN to stream every audition and live final from wherever you are.
In a scheduling shakeup, the UK’s number one talent show will air in February for the first time ever. It will also run for longer, with mischievous hosts Ant and Deck guiding our UK hopefuls through the audition stage and semi-finals in episodes which will now go out weekly.
The judging lineup remains almost the same. Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli return to appraise some brilliant – and sometimes bonkers – acts, as ordinary people with heartwarming stories share their extraordinary talents. This time, however, they’ll be joined by renowned singer and YouTube star KSI. He’ll get to have his own ‘Golden Buzzer’ moment, too, which will guarantee his favorite performer a place in the semi-finals and bring someone closer to winning that life-changing £250,000.
Are you ready for some unmissable entertainment? Then keep reading as we explain how to watch Britain’s Got Talent season 18 online and stream episodes free from anywhere on ITVX.

How to watch Britain’s Got Talent season 18 from anywhere
You can watch Britain’s Got Talent and enjoy every audition and live show free from the UK. But, if you find yourself abroad at any point during the series, geo-blocking will stop you from watching Britain’s Got Talent on ITVX while abroad.
Thankfully, you can get round these blocks by using a VPN, or Virtual Private Network. It’s really easy-to-use software that makes your laptop, smartphone or streaming device think it’s somewhere else entirely and also encrypts your internet traffic. We think NordVPN is the very best VPN out there right now.
Use a VPN to watch Britain’s Got Talent from anywhere
Using a VPN is as easy as one-two-three…
1. Download and install a VPN – as we say, our top choice is NordVPN
2. Connect to the appropriate server location – open the VPN app, hit ‘choose location’ and select the appropriate location (a server in the UK in this case)
3. Go to the broadcaster’s stream – head to ITVX and start streaming Britain’s Got Talent as if you were back at home
Can I watch Britain’s Got Talent season 18 online in the US?
Unfortunately, the UK version of the Got Talent franchise isn’t available to stream in America, though a new season of America’s Got Talent is coming to NBC in May. This means that US viewers won’t be able to watch all the hottest acts and semi-finalist performances from season 18.
A UK fan abroad? To connect to ITVX from anywhere you’ll need a VPN, which will allow you to stream the show just like you would back home.
Can I watch Britain’s Got Talent season 18 online in Australia?
Aussie fans will be able to watch Britain’s Got Talent; however, new episodes tend to lag a good few months behind their UK broadcast, and there’s no current release date confirmed for season 18. When it does debut Down Under, expect it to air on Channel 7 and be available to stream with a (completely free) 7plus account.
NB: If you’re out of the country – say, a British citizen abroad trying to connect to ITVX, sign up to a VPN to use the same services you have access to back home.

Brit away from home? Don’t forget that if you’re a Brit abroad in New Zealand, you can use a VPN to tune into ITVX while on the move.
