Watch MasterChef Australia in NZ
You’ll now be able to watch every season of MasterChef Australia in NZ, including the latest one.
Why isn’t MasterChef Australia available in NZ?
MasterChef Australia is available in New Zealand, however the streaming platform its on, TVNZ On Demand, doesn’t have the latest season of the show.
With no other NZ-based streaming services broadcasting MasterChef Australia, if you want to watch the latest season, you need to gain access to the Australian streaming service, 10Play.
Why can’t I access 10Play in NZ?
If you go onto 10Play in New Zealand, the service won’t work. You’ll run into errors and issues playing the content.
This is because 10Play isn’t officially available in our country, it’s an Australian streaming service, only available in Australia.
Because 10Play is an Australian-only streaming service, it stops anyone outside Australia from accessing its content, by blocking their internet connection.

How does 10Play block my internet connection?
Whenever you go on the internet, you’re device is allocated an IP address, that’s unique.
This IP address’ purpose is to allow communication between your device and the website or app you’re visiting.
You need an IP address to go online as its used so your device can send information to the website, app or service you’re visiting, and said service can send information back to your device.
The problem here is your IP address has information that shows where you’re physically located. If you’re in New Zealand, your IP address will show you’re in New Zealand, if you’re in Australia it will show you’re in Australia and so on…
10Play uses this information to determine if you’re in Australia when you connect to its service. If you aren’t you won’t be able to stream any content on 10Play.
How can I access 10Play in NZ?
To access 10Play in NZ, you need to make it look like you’re in Australia when you connect to its service.
Don’t worry, although this sounds complicated, NordVPN ($3.49/month) makes it very easy.
When you connect to an Australian server on NordVPN ($3.49/month), your NZ IP address is changed to an Australian IP address.
This makes it look like you’re in Australia when you connect to 10Play and the streaming service will now work, allowing you to watch MasterChef Australia.
