The pressure is on Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag as his misfiring side travel to Porto for this UEFA Europa League Matchday 2 clash.
The visitors were easily beaten 3-0 on home turf by Tottenham in the Premier League at the weekend — a hugely disappointing defeat that came on the back of United letting slip a lead in a disappointing 1-1 draw with unfancied FC Twente in their opening fixture of this tournament.
Things don’t get any easier for ten Hag, as they face one of the Europa League’s strongest sides, with Porto currently sitting second in the Portuguese Primeira Liga after winning seven of their nine competitive games so far this season.
Porto take on Manchester United on Thursday, Oct. 3, at the Estádio do Dragão, with kickoff set for 8 p.m. WEST local time in Portugal, which also makes it an 8 p.m. BST start in the UK. It’s a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT kick-off meanwhile in the US and Canada, while it’s a 5 a.m. AEST start in Australia on Friday morning.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the match as it happens, wherever you are in the world.
Under-fire Man United boss Erik ten Hag will draw encouragement from the fact that the Red Devils are currently unbeaten in their last 12 European encounters against Portuguese opposition.
American soccer fans can stream every fixture of this season’s tournament via Paramount Plus, which has exclusive live English-language broadcast rights in the US for the UEFA Europa League.
Paramount Plus has two main subscription plans in the US: Essential for $8 per month and Premium for $13 per month. Both offer coverage of the Europa League as well as the Champions League.
The cheaper Essential option has ads for on-demand streaming and lacks live CBS feeds as well as the ability to download shows to watch offline later. Newcomers to the service can take advantage of a 30-day free trial, while students may qualify for a 25% discount.

If you find yourself unable to view Europa League matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the games — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.
Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN, and it works on a variety of devices. It’s normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100 you’ll get three months free and save 49%. That’s the equivalent of $6.67 a month with code SPECIALDEAL, which should be automatically applied.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
