Hey guys,

So I want to be able to watch Monster Cup this weekend but unfortunately I'm in university where none of the channels are offered for the race. Does anyone stream the race or know of a way I can watch it?

I'm also wondering this. I'm in Canada and my satellite provider doesn't have the channel. It plays again on Sunday afternoon in a 1 1/2 hour show which is cut short from the original broadcast.

I'd rather watch it live but don't know what my options are. I'm assuming someone will stream the event live but they usually get taken down.

Anyone know if Monster plans to stream it for a fee? If it's not ridiculously price it might be the best option.

Buy the 2018 SX season, get the MEC 2017 free. Use a VPN if in USA/Canada?

Did you purchase the SX season pass last year? How was it? I seem to remember a lot of people complaining about having trouble with it, the stream not working properly and not being reimbursed.

Since I don't get the the channel the paid stream might be the only reliable option to watch SX this winter. I paid to watch this summer and it worked great. If it's just like that I might just have to purchase the SX pass. The only rounds available on TV are the ones that air on FOX which is only 2 or 3 rounds.

OP doesn't get the channel and the Global stream is not available to US or Canadian residents which is pretty stupid.

$30 For Monster Cup or free if you purchase the $130 package. Are they insane?

I heard there's a way to make AL gores Internet think you're in a different country.

No idea how to make a VPN work. There's apparently one already installed on my laptop. I tried using it once and it kept saying try again so I gave up. That and I don't think Monster Cup is worth $30.

I subscribe to one called Pure VPN. It's $70US for a 2 year subscription, and it works for everything except US Netflix and HULU. Just download it to your desktop and you're good to go. I also subscribe to Sling ($35/month), so I'll be watching it on FS2 through that.

Yep or "free" if you purchase the $130 SX season pass.

Nothing to get riled up over. I just turn on the TV and there it is. Might order a pizza, then take a nap...doesn't really matter.

^^^ Looks like you have room for improvement.

This is another reason why I like Red Bull so much more. Pretty certain straight rhythm will be streamed free and if I remember correctly the last time Red Bull was the title sponsor for the MXdN race it was available to watch for free.

Red Bull > Monster
