How to watch Heated Rivalry in the UK
Canada, the US and Australia are among the only countries with access via HBO Max and Crave, leaving UK fans exposed to online teasers
By Aaron Sugg
As Heated Rivalry is taking the queer world by storm, fans in the UK are being left on the sidelines, as Canada, the US and Australia are among the only countries with access via HBO Max and Crave.
Online users are being exposed to teasers on social media, from several much-promised sex scenes to internalised homophobia and sportsmanship, leaving Brits wondering where and when they will be able to watch the hockey-player gay romance. The answer, however, is simpler than you might think.
VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) are becoming increasingly popular, much like the series starring Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie itself.

Due to new age-verification measures in the UK on platforms such as Grindr, X and more, VPNs can allow access to geo-restricted content on streaming platforms, such as Netflix libraries from different countries and… potentially HBO Max or Crave.
However, these platforms often block many VPNs, so if streaming Heated Rivalry is a priority, look for VPN providers that publicly advertise strong streaming support.
