For geoblocked stuff, it depends. Some Euro sports, yes. But anything on Eurosport (the channel) needs a subscription and you need a UK credit card address for that.
For NFL and MLB, rarely works. It used to be that I could watch football games (Eagles fan) that were geoblocked for me due to a Commanders game being on Fox or otherwise. Set the VPN to a city that had the Birds, and watch on Fox Sports on computer. Doesn't work anymore, Fox has figured it out. Hulu, never works. If you set your VPN to a remote location, Hulu says "oh your not at home, you can only watch our non live stuff" or change your home location, which is cumbersome and limited to 4 times.
And VPN's don't always play well with smart tv's. Sometimes you can cast from a phone running a vpn, sometimes there are compatibility issues.
In short, I have one for cycling stuff but its becoming rarely used. The streamers are on to it and are blocking vpn remote nodes.
