How to watch Kolkata Knight Riders vs. Punjab Kings for free

JioCinema is giving you the chance to live stream every IPL cricket match this season in 4K resolution on its app, for free.

JioCinema is geo-restricted to India, but by using a VPN, you can bypass this geo-restriction. VPNs can hide your real IP address (digital location) and connect you to a secure server in India, meaning you can access JioCinema from anywhere in the world.

Unblock JioCinema to stream the IPL 2024 by following these simple steps:

  1. Sign up for a streaming-friendly VPN (like ExpressVPN)

  2. Download the app to your device of choice (the best VPNs have apps for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, Linux, and more)

  3. Open up the app and connect to a server in India

  4. Visit JioCinema (you will need an Indian phone number to subscribe)

  5. Watch Kolkata Knight Riders vs. Punjab Kings for free from anywhere in the world

Most of the best VPNs for streaming are not free, but they do offer free trials or money-back guarantees. By utilizing these offers, you can watch IPL live streams without parting with your cash. This isn't a long-term solution, but it does mean you can watch your favorite IPL fixtures for free.
