Premier League Soccer: Livestream Man City vs. Arsenal From Anywhere

It’s a key early season clash at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday as last season’s runners up Arsenal travel up to the North West to take on defending champs Manchester City. 

Arsenal have been City’s main rivals for the title over the past two seasons with Pep Guardiola’s side eclipsing the Gunners on both occasions, but a win here today would see the Londoners go top and take a narrow advantage in this year’s campaign. 

Both sides were in European action against European opposition in midweek, with City were held to a goalesss draw against Inter Milan, while Arsenal scraped a point off of Atalanta BC in large part thanks to the goalkeeping heroics of David Raya.

Arsenal welcome back midfielder Declan Rice after serving his suspension, but will be without skipper Martin Odegaard who faces a long spell on the sidelines with a knee injury. City meanwhile look set to be without talismanic midfielder Kevin De Bruyne after he picked up a groin injury in the Champions League.

Manchester City take on Arsenal on Sunday, Sept. 22, at the Etihad Stadium, with kickoff set for 4:30 p.m. BST local time, making it a 11:30 a.m. ET or 8:30 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and an 1:30 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia in the early hours of Monday 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.

How to watch the Premier League 2024/25 season from anywhere with a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view EPL 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.

Quick tips for streaming the Premier League using a VPN

• With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming EPL matches may vary.
• If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
• If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log into your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
• All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
• And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
