The suspense is mounting as we’re thrust singing, dancing, and artfully tumbling towards the end of AGT Season 15. The remaining contestants have already impressed the judges with some exceptional vocals, emotionally charged performances, and gravity-defying acrobatics, and as a result, these 20 acts been gifted a place in the finals. But they’ll need to bring their A-game to wow the panel again and secure a place in the penultimate stage of the competition. Read on as we detail below you can watch America’s Got Talent: the season 15 semi-finals online from anywhere.

Watch America's Got Talent this week

Season 15 of AGT started on May 26 at 8pm ET on NBC. The Live Shows air every Tuesday, while the Results Show is broadcast the following day at the same time. If you don't have cable, read on for the best America's Got Talent streaming options.

*Spoiler Alert*: if you haven’t yet seen last week’s show, skip to the VPN section below.

With only two weeks left until the finale, it’s getting difficult for Sofia Vergara, Howie Mandell, and Heidi Klum to decide who should be voted off, especially in the absence of fellow judge Simon Cowell, who injured his back falling from an electric motorbike. Facing the public vote last week were Celina Graves, vocal harmony trio Resound, and the Bello Sisters, with viewers opting to progress Celina to the semi-finals. That left the three judges with the awkward decision of whose dreams of stardom to shatter; and, under pressure, Howie cast the decisive vote: advancing the Bello Sisters and sending the heavenly-voiced Resound home.

Those battling it out for the chance to win a life-changing $1,000,000 currently include musical duo Broken Roots, Brandon Leake, Roberta Battaglia, Malik Dope, aerialist Alan Silva, the Spyros Brothers, and Double Dragon. Broken Roots were received back into the competition in a mid-season twist after Thomas Day left the show, and thrilled the crowds with a rousing rendition of U2’s ‘I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For’. Meanwhile the Spyros Brothers return after having done magical things with a diabolo in the quarter-finals, as does the spoken word poet Brandon Leake, who gained gushing praise from Howie after his eloquent and powerfully-moving performance.

So, get ready to celebrate – or commiserate – with host Terry Crews as we detail how you can watch America’s Got Talent: the season 15 semi-finals online, and cheer on your favorite act from wherever you are.

How to watch AGT 2020 from outside your country

American citizens resident in the US will likely find it easy to watch America's Got Talent 2020 - but if you’re travelling outside of the country, you might not find streaming AGT quite so simple. As the show is on NBC, anyone from America abroad will find that it isn't being aired simultaneously in many other places.

Fortunately, there is a solution in the form of a VPN. This ingenious bit of kit changes your IP address so that you can access all the content you normally would at home, from anywhere in the world.

However, note that some services require you to enter local credit card or cable subscription details first before gaining access, so it's always best to read the fine print.

Lucky Brits are well-served by <a href="https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/6361382/type/dlg/sid/hawk-custom-tracking/https://www.netflix.com/gb/" data-link-merchant="netflix.com"" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Netflix where they can catch the latest season of AGT as it airs and view all of Season 14 too. It’s only £5.99 a month for a basic Netflix subscription, and in addition to AGT, there are thousands of binge-worthy TV shows and films to enjoy. There’s only one caveat – new episodes of AGT aren’t uploaded until the Friday after they’ve been shown in America, so UK fans will always find themselves a few days behind.

American’s temporarily in the UK won’t be able to connect to NBC online or a regionally-specific provider like Sling, and therefore will find it nearly impossible to watch America’s Got Talent live. In this instance, you’ll find a <a href="https://www.techradar.com/uk/vpn/best-vpn" data-link-merchant="techradar.com"" data-link-merchant="netflix.com"">VPN invaluable: circumventing geo-blocking restrictions so that you can stream the latest America’s Got Talent as it’s broadcast in the US.
