Waterloo Road may be a stalwart in the BBC schedule, but season 14 is going to look very different. That's because the school now has academy status and it has moved into a shiny new building. That's going to take a bit of getting used to for pupils and teachers alike, with the febrile atmosphere of campus life likely to erupt at any time.

And those teething problems may not be helped by the arrival of a new headteacher. Steve Savage — played by popular UK TV star Jason Manford — has his own ideas for getting the most from his students and staff. Expect a few of the old guard to be well and truly rubbed up the wrong way.

"A chain of unfortunate circumstances and one bad choice turns lives into chaos and has tragic repercussions for everyone at the school," says the BBC.

Here's how to watch Waterloo Road season 14 online from anywhere in the world and for free. We've got all the information you need below.

Can I watch Waterloo Road season 14 in the US?

Although the first 10 seasons of Waterloo Road are available to watch on the free Tubi streaming platform in the US, there's no sign to say when season 14 (not to mention 11 through 13) will land there.

How to watch Waterloo Road from anywhere with a VPN

You can watch Waterloo Road season 14 on the BBC iPlayer streaming service as described above by using a VPN — no matter where you are in the world!

Normally streaming services like iPlayer will know where you are trying to tune in from and block you if you're not in the right country but a Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an app that hides your location. That means you can access your usual sports and entertainment services even while you're traveling abroad.

Our favorite VPN is NordVPN, which is the No. 1-rated VPN in the world right now according to our sister site, TechRadar, where you'll find an in-depth guide to the best VPN services available right now.


How to use a VPN to watch any stream

  • Download the app at NordVPN
  • Choose the location of the streaming service you want to watch (UK, US, etc)
  • Navigate to the streaming service you require and start watching!
