A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you're looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to the F1 race this weekend without a cable package, a VPN can help you out.
Stream F1 coverage from anywhere ExpressVPN
ExpressVPN offers 'internet without borders,' meaning you can tune into a Belgian or Austrian livestream of the race for free as opposed to paying for ESPN or ESPN+ for US coverage of F1. All you'll need to do is sign up for ExpressVPN, change your server location to one in Belgium and then find the F1 livestream on RTBF, or change your location to Austria to watch free coverage on ServusTV.

Notre Dame's Aamil Wagner named to the 2025 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List
The preseason accolades keep rolling in for Notre Dame football, and this time its an honoree along the trenches. Senior offensive lineman Aamil Wagner is one of a record 116 nominees to the 2025 Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List, the foundation announced. The award recognizes college football players across the FBS who exemplify community service, academic excellence and athletic achievement. The honor celebrates student-athletes who use their platforms to create positive change, and it is named after 1996 Heisman Trophy winner Danny Wuerffel, who has created a lasting legacy of leadership and humanitarianism. The finalists and recipient will be selected by a national voting committee, with input from a fan vote. The winner will be announced live on The Home Depot College Football Awards show on December 12, airing on ESPN. The Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Presentation Gala will follow on January 31, 2026, at the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta. Wagner is the president of the Notre Dame chapter of Uplifting Athletes, an organization that supports the rare disease community and their families. He also leads initiatives to improve the lives of athletes off the field, from youth athletics to college student-athletes. He also volunteers at his local senior center, homeless shelter and church. Former Fighting Irish linebacker Drue Tranquill won the award in 2018 and was a finalist in 2017.

NFL is expected to take an ownership stake in ESPN
Walt Disney Co. is expected to announce the NFL is taking an equity stake in its sports media property ESPN, according to people familiar with the plan. Disney may reveal the deal during its earnings call Wednesday. Representatives at the NFL and ESPN declined comment Friday. In return for the equity stake, ESPN is expected at minimum to take over the NFL's cable properties including the NFL Network and Red Zone, the popular channel that continuously updates fans on the slate of Sunday contests. The NFL Network also has the rights to several regular season games late in the season. NFL also owns the league's production unit, NFL Films, and NFL+, the streaming service that enables subscribers to watch games and other related content on mobile devices. ESPN has the broadcast rights to 'Monday Night Football' and two Super Bowl games in the current NFL contract that runs through 2033 but is expected to be reopened in 2029. The impending deal with Disney means the NFL's other partners — Fox, NBC, CBS, YouTube and Amazon — will be bidding against an entity that the league has a financial interest in next time the media rights come up. Discussions between the NFL and Disney have been ongoing for more than 18 months as concerns heightened about the viability of ESPN when consumers continue to bypass or cancel pay TV subscriptions. ESPN has long been the most expensive part of the pay TV bundle, currently getting close to $9 per subscriber. It is now in around 73 million homes, down from 98.5 million in 2013. ESPN is adapting to the streaming landscape, launching its first stand-alone direct-to-consumer product that will give consumers access to all of its channels without a pay TV subscription. The service will cost $29.99 a month. TV ratings for ESPN have improved and ad sales have remained strong as advertisers value audiences who watch live programming.

NFL reportedly on the verge of selling media assets, including RedZone, to ESPN
The NFL and ESPN had no comment. The NFL has been trying to sell its media properties for nearly five years. ESPN and the league have been involved in on-again, off-again talks for the past three years. The proposed move comes as ESPN is expected to soon launch its direct-to-consumer service, likely before the end of August. The service would give cord cutters access to all of ESPN's programs and networks for $29.99 per month. Most cable, satellite, and viewers who have streaming services will receive the service for free as part of their subscription. Advertisement ESPN would get access to the popular RedZone channel, as well as NFL Network and an additional seven regular-season games (six international and a Saturday afternoon late-season contest). A couple of weeks ago, ESPN announced that NFL Network host Rich Eisen's three-hour program would air on ESPN Radio as well as stream on Disney+ and ESPN+. 'The Rich Eisen Show' is not affiliated with NFL Network. ESPN has carried NFL games since 1987 and 'Monday Night Football' since 2006. Under the current TV contract, it will have the 2027 and 2031 Super Bowls for the first time. Advertisement NFL Network started in November 2003 and was the second major pro league to have its own network. NBA TV started in 1999, MLB Network in 2009, and NHL Network in the United States in 2007.
