How to watch Taskmaster in the US and abroad
Taskmaster will soon return to our screens with another group of celebrities ready to take on a series of bizarre assignments to earn points from Judge Greg Davis. All their movements are evaluated by Greg’s assistant, little Alex Horn.
The show is a Channel 4 staple, along with classic series such as The Great British Bake Off. However, new episodes are only available on this channel, which is only available in the UK.
If you’re on vacation or somewhere else, this can be annoying. Luckily, we have a workaround.
When will Taskmaster episode 15 be released?
You don’t have long to wait as the next season of Taskmaster kicks off Thursday, March 30, 2023 at 21:00 Moscow time. As usual, it will consist of ten episodes, which will be released weekly.
Joining Alex and Greg this year are comedians Frankie Boyle, May Martin, Ivo Graham, Kill Smith-Byno and Jenny Eclair. Watch the official trailer below:
How to watch Taskmasker over VPN
If you want to watch the latest Taskmaster episodes, you’ll need a VPN.
A VPN (virtual private network) routes your internet connection through a server. There are many servers around the world, but to watch Taskmaster you will need a server in the UK.
This means that the Channel 4 website does not recognize your location when you sign up for an account – you can be anywhere in the world, but it will still think you are in the UK. So you should be able to register an account without being banned.
During our testing, NordVPN repeatedly reliably unblocked the service. It is easy to use and offers a wide range of servers. Plus, it has competitive pricing, especially if you opt for a multi-year plan (there are monthly rolling plans, however).
If you want to know what other options there are, take a look at our list of the best VPNs for video streaming.
Here are the steps in a breakdown – we used NordVPN and a laptop to successfully test this method.
- Required tools: NordVPN, Channel 4 website or app, smartphone or PC/laptop.

Looking for the overseer
Hannah Cawthon / Foundry
Channel 4 requires you to disable all ad blockers, including any additional ad blocker on your VPN, so make sure you do that before trying to watch
If you still can’t connect, try a different server on your VPN until you find one that works for you.
Please note that using a VPN is technically against Channel 4’s terms of service, so the platform may terminate your account. Proceed at your own risk.
