So, there's an upcoming event I enjoy, but also don't want to watch directly this time for political reasons.

I've never been in this spot before. Do I have any options, or do I just wait for it to be over, avoid any spoilers and look for a recording?

Edit: Thank you all! Ironically, I ended up super busy and missed it anyway. Good to know for next year, if geopolitics is still weird, though.

It really depends on the event and how much the organizers want to play whack-a-mole with illegal broadcasts. The only knowledge I have with pirating a live broadcast would be something like a big UFC fight. If you get really thick in the weeds where you are finding Twitch streamers that have 5 viewers and claim to be playing a UFC video game, some of them are broadcasting a real fight and are pretending to play with a controller
