How to watch Bodyguard finale online for free: stream from the UK or abroad
Stream the eagerly-anticipated finale of Bodyguard from your favourite device no matter where you are in the world.
Put the kettle on, grab a biscuit and prepare for 75 minutes of nerve-shredding, pulse-racing television. The finale of the gripping drama Bodyguard is due to kick off on BBC One at 9pm and you do not want to miss out.
In the age of on-demand, multi-channel TV, Bodyguard has bucked the trend by pulling in millions of viewers for its Sunday night slot (6.8 million for the first episode alone) – and with millions more catching up on iPlayer each week, Jed Mercurio's political thriller is being dubbed the drama of the decade.
Now there is just one more episode to see what will become of Sergeant David Budd (Richard Madden) as evidence unravels in the case surrounding Home Secretary Julia Montague (Keeley Hawes). With no word on a second series so far, this could well be the last we see of Bodyguard, so expect twists, turns and fireworks aplenty.
If you're outside the UK for the big finale, you can still live stream the show using a VPN. How to get one of those, and which is best for you, can be found out below. The good news is, it couldn't be easier and there are free trials to be had.

When will the Bodyguard be broadcast abroad?
The stunning success of Bodyguard has seen Netflix come knocking. That means the six-part political thriller will be available to watch via the on-demand channel in all countries outside the UK and Ireland from October 24.
With the show attracting more viewers than any BBC show outside its World Cup coverage, it looks like Bodyguard will follow in the footsteps of The Fall, Peaky Blinders and more in becoming a BBC-to-Netflix smash.
