WWE Royal Rumble 2020 live stream: how to watch tonight’s wrestling online from anywhere

Boom! WWE's first pay-per-view of 2020 is upon us in the form of the annual high-octane chaos of the Royal Rumble. And with TechRadar's help, you won't miss a minute of a Royal Rumble 2020 live stream – regardless of where in the world you are.

Taking place this year in Houston, Texas, as ever we're expecting surprise returns, big debuts and plenty of twists. There's eight scheduled matches this year, but the expected highlight will be the mayhem of the men's and women's Royal Rumble – a battle royale match whose participants enter at timed intervals.

There's a pretty impressive 27 of the 30 superstars confirmed for the men's Rumble, including Roman Reigns, Rey Mysterio, Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, Drew McIntyre, and AJ Styles, while Brock Lesnar will enter the match at number one. 

While only seven superstars have confirmed their place in the women's match, its a big-name field nonetheless, with Natalya, Charlotte Flair, Alexa Bliss, and Nikki Cross all set to be involved in the big face off.

Outside of the Rumble excitement there's some pretty strong undercard fights, with Becky Lynch set to defend her Raw Women's Championship vs Asuka while Roman Reigns will face King Corbin in a Falls Count Anywhere match.

It's going to be a packed event for sure and we’ll show you how to watch a WWE Royal Rumble 2020 live stream online from anywhere in the world so that you don’t miss a minute.

Watch the Pro Bowl 2020 online from outside your country

Watching this game from the US, UK, Canada or Australia? We'll tell you how to catch the NFL game further down in the article.

But if you're somewhere else in the world – or if a coverage blackout is stopping you from watching in the US – then there's still a way you can live stream the Pro Bowl 2020 online (and you don't even have to slum it with a grainy, illegal feed you've found on Reddit). Instead you could use a VPN – or Virtual Private Network – to change the IP address to one in a different state or country which does have a stream. And it's not even hard to do.

Can I watch with the NFL Game Pass?

Well it's a no and a yes. The NFL Game Pass in the US will only let you watch a replay of the Pro Bowl, but not the live action.

Interestingly, it's a different story with an International NFL Game Pass where all post season games are being shown absolutely live…shame you can't officially get access to that if you and your laptop's IP address is in the US.

FuboTV $ 35 for the first month – FuboTV gives you the first month at a discounted rate but after that the price increases to $ 45 a month. The service includes CBS, Fox, NBC and the NFL Network but does not come with ESPN.

DirecTV Now $ 50 per month – DirecTV Now includes CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN and for $ 5 extra you can add the NFL Network. However, with this service you can only watch football on local TV stations live.

YouTubeTV $ 40 per month – YouTubeTV gives you access to CBS, Fox, NBC and ESPN but just like with Hulu with Live TV, there is no NFL Network.

Google makes datasets easier to find online

Researchers and academics searching for datasets online will now have an easier time doing so as Google's Dataset Search is now out of beta and includes new tools to better filter searches with access to close to 25m datasets.

Dataset Search first launched in 2018 as part of the company's goal to put an end to the fragmentation of open-access data. 

While many universities, governments and labs publish their data online, it is often difficult to find using traditional search engines. However, by adding open source metadata tags to their web pages, these groups can have their data indexed by Google's Dataset Search.

Although the search giant did not share an specific usage figures for Dataset Search, the company says that “hundreds of thousands of users” have tried it out since its launch and that the tool has received positive support from the scientific community.

Dataset Search

The Verge spoke with a research scientist at Google AI who helped create the tool named Natasha Noy who said that “most [data] repositories have been very responsive” and that Dataset Search has even encouraged older scientific institutions to take “publishing metadata more seriously”.

Now that the tool is out of beta, Google has added new features to it including the ability to filter data by type (tables, images, text, etc), whether it is free to use and also the geographic area it covers. Dataset Search is also now available on mobile and it has expanded dataset descriptions.

According to Google, the tool's search engine covers almost 25m datasets, though this is only a “fraction of datasets on the web”. The largest topics indexed by Dataset Search include geosciences, biology and agriculture with education, weather, cancer, crime, soccer and dogs being the most common queries.

Making data available to users is what Google does best and the company plans to continue to add more datasets to Dataset Search.
