How to Watch FaithNOW outside South Africa: VPN Guide 2026
Faith Broadcasting Network (FBN) has been broadcasting Christian television since May 2002 from its studio in East London, South Africa. FaithNOW is the broadcaster’s subscription streaming service: live Faith TV Africa, Faith TV USA and Faith TV UK, partner Christian channels, Faith Kidz TV for children, Link FM radio and a library of sermons and teaching programs. Getting FaithNOW outside South Africa starts at faithnow.com, because the site, pricing page and public catalog open from outside South Africa with no region message, and the app is listed in the US App Store.
Plans are billed in US dollars, monthly or yearly, and both start with a 14-day free trial. You won’t need a South African phone number or ID to sign up. We recommend adding ExpressVPN on a South African server: you get a South African IP, browse as you would at home, South African services included, and stay encrypted on hotel or airport Wi-Fi. Over 7,000 hours play on the web, phones, Apple TV, Android TV and Roku.
