If you have a thirst for adventure, Race around the world is an addictive show that you keep on the edge of your chair every week.
It is a very similar size like America’s The Amazing Race. Couples are sent to a far corner of the world, without their smartphones and with limited money, and get a final destination with five checkpoints along the way.
This year’s series will take place in China, India and Nepal, with the lowest budget for every team we have ever seen. If you are also on your own journeys while racing about the World Series 5 broadcast, never be afraid. There is a way to view it from abroad.
When will race hit the World Series 5?
Waiting is almost over, because Race will return all over the world tonight, Wednesday, April 23, 2025bee 9 pm BST On BBC One and BBC IPLayer.

How to watch the World Series 5 from abroad
If you do not have access to BBC One, you can stream the newest series of race around the world on IPLayer, the streaming service of the BBC.
It is available for everyone in the UK, but if you are on vacation or abroad when Race is broadcast all over the world (maybe during the holidays May), you might wonder how you can still look, so that you are not accidentally spoiled.
That is where a VPN (Virtual Private Network) arrives. By destroying your IP address, with this technology you can gain access to geo-flocked websites, so that you can stream as if you are in the UK if you are not.
There are numerous VPN providers that you can use to access BBC IPLayer, but we found at Tech Advisor NordVPN The best combination of reliability, user -friendliness and affordability are.
Once you have chosen your VPN, this is what you have to do:
Register for NordVPN

You can register here. The full plan is selected by default, but if you only need the VPN, click Get Standard. Choose a two -year plan at the top, a year and one month.
Follow the instructions to create and pay for your account.
Install the NordVPN app

If you use a phone or tablet, just go to the App Store and search for NordVPN and then install it.
If you have Windows, log in to your NordVPN account in a web browser, go to the Downloads section and click Download the App Next to get NordVPN for Windows. Perform the downloaded file to install it.
Start NordVPN
Jim Martin / Foundry
Start the app and log in with the E -mail address and the password that you entered when creating an account at NordVPN. On Windows you should see a screen like this, but other apps are very similar.
Use the list of locations (the word icon at the top left) or scroll the map to the UK and tap Connect with London. If requested, NordVPN allow a VPN connection. You may need to enter your Windows password or, on a mobile device, your access code.
Wait until the VPN is connected
Jim Martin / Foundry
You should see a message to tell you that the VPN is connected. You can see this with the Green Connected and a padlock above the United Kingdom.
Open iPlayer
Jim Martin / Foundry
Log in with your BBC account (make one if you don’t have one) and then find something to look at. It should play fine, because the VPN seems that you are in the UK.
If you are a British resident with a deposited license fee, simply log in to your BBC account and use a VPN service as described above. You still break the TS and CS by looking through a VPN, just like everyone else who registers with a fake British address.
