The 2026 KPL Annual Finals kicked off in Chengdu on November 14th with a Beijing derby between Beijing JDG and Beijing WB for the 20 million RMB championship, coinciding with the KPL's 10th anniversary. Domestic platforms such as Huya, Douyu, Bilibili, and Douyin streamed the entire event for free, but overseas viewers were blocked by region restrictions. Using QuickFox, a VPN to switch the network back to China and remove region restrictions, allowed viewers to watch the domestic live streams normally overseas.
JDG secured seven consecutive wins, including a 4-0 sweep of Wolves in the playoffs, and then a 4-2 victory over WB in the winners' bracket to advance directly to the finals, aiming for their first championship. WB, on the other hand, rallied from the losers' bracket to defeat TTG 4-3, seeking revenge as they return to the fray. This city derby coincides with the 10th anniversary of the KPL, making this best-of-seven series an unavoidable battle in esports this year.
Watching KPL from overseas is hampered by two issues.
Watching KPL in ChinaHuya, Douyu, Bilibili, Douyin, Kuaishou, King of Glory CampThe platform offers it completely free. However, overseas players who want to watch will encounter two problems:
Due to regional restrictions, I cannot enter the live stream room. These platforms restrict live streaming content to mainland China, and overseas IP addresses will encounter regional restrictions or fail to load upon access. KPL is free in China, but overseas users still cannot access it due to regional restrictions—this is the most common obstacle.
Cross-border delays caused buffering issues while watching the game. Even if you get in, esports team battles are fast-paced and information-intensive. Direct connections from overseas to domestic servers result in high latency and packet loss, making live streams prone to buffering and frame drops, and critical team battles can even become slow-motion.
Switch your internet connection back to China using QuickFox and watch live streams in three steps.
QuickFox is an accelerator for overseas Chinese and international students returning to China. Once connected, traffic is routed through domestic optimized lines, and the exit IP becomes domestic. Huya, Douyu, and Bilibili treat you as a domestic user, regional restrictions are lifted, live streams can be accessed normally, and the lines are optimized for video streaming, improving buffering and frame drops.

common problem
Q1: What platform do overseas viewers use to watch the KPL finals?
The entire event was streamed for free on domestic platforms such as Huya, Douyu, Bilibili, Douyin, and King of Glory Camp. Overseas users could use QuickFox to switch their network back to China and access these platforms.
Q2: KPL is free in China, why can't I access it overseas?
Free access and unaccessible access are two different things. These platforms restrict live streaming to mainland China; overseas IP addresses will be blocked due to regional restrictions. Using QuickFox to switch your network back to mainland China will allow the platform to recognize you as a domestic user, enabling you to enter the live stream normally.
Q3: The KPL live stream is always choppy when watching overseas. Can QuickFox improve this?
It can be improved. Lag is mostly caused by cross-border latency and packet loss. QuickFox optimizes the connection back to China, which reduces buffering and frame drops. The specific effect depends on your region and the network at the time.
Compliance Statement: QuickFox is an overseas-only accelerator for returning to China, providing acceleration services for mainland Chinese applications and content only to overseas users, and cannot provide services to users within mainland China.
