How to Watch 'Doctor Who' Season 13 Outside the UK for Free?
According to Tech Radar, "Doctor Who" season 13 was launched on Sunday, October 31 and fans can watch the series on their BBC iPlayer and linear TV every Sunday evening.

However, for those fans outside the U.K., they can watch the British series through a VPN.
VPN is the abbreviation for the virtual private network created to protect network connection when using public networks, per Kaspersky. Through VPN location spoofing, users can shift to a server from another country and adjust their location. Here's how to use a VPN:
- "Doctor Who" fans should download and install a VPN to watch the series for free. There are multiple VPN options available for PC, Android and iOS devices.
- Once the VPN is downloaded, the device must be connected to the relevant server location.
- Right after connecting to the server, launch the VPN app then tap "Choose a location." Since it is a British series, users must choose the U.K. for the location.
- Lastly, after setting up the location, users should choose BBC iPlayer on the live stream broadcast.
Keep in mind, however, that VPNs are not free.
On the other hand, "Doctor Who" fans in the U.S. could also watch the series for free. BBC America also released the new episode of the series the same time it's launched in the U.K. On a positive note, the British series will be aired twice on BBC America.
With that said, the new season premiered in the US on Sunday at 2:25 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) or 11:25 a.m. Pacific Time (PT), and 8 p.m. ET or 5 p.m. PT.
However, if viewers do not have access to a cable bundle that includes BBC America, they should sign up for an OTT service like FuboTV or Sling TV. Sling TV offers a free 7-day trial to new subscribers, while FuboTV charges only $10 for the first month.
