After both having opening weekends to forget, Wolves and Chelsea will look to claim their first points of the new Premier League season as they clash at Molineux on Sunday.
Wolves kicked off their campaign last Sunday with a 2-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal in a match that saw Gary O’Neil’s side enjoy plenty of possession without offering any significant threat going forward.
Chelsea meanwhile crashed to the same scoreline as they lost to defending champions Man City in a match that shows just how far off pace the Blues are from being title challengers, despite spending £185m on 11 new signings this summer.
Wolverhampton Wanderers host Chelsea on Sunday, Aug. 25, at Molineux, with kickoff set for 2 p.m. BST local time, making it a 9 a.m. ET or 6 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada and at 11 p.m. AEST kickoff in Australia.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world.

How to watch Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Chelsea in the US without cable
Sunday’s Wolves vs. Chelsea match is streaming on Peacock, which is the best option for football fans looking to watch the EPL this season. The majority of fixtures are set be shown exclusively live on the streaming service. You’ll need a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus account to catch games live, including this one.
Peacock offers two Premium plans, and after the recent price increases, the ad-supported Premium plan will cost $8 a month, and the ad-free Premium Plus plan will cost $14 a month.
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.

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.
Can I livestream Wolves vs. Chelsea in the UK?
This early afternoon match has not been selected to be shown live by any UK broadcaster.
That also means that if you’re in the UK traveling for pleasure or for work, you’re unlikely to be able to watch the game like you normally would at home, thanks to geo-blocking.
There’s one option to get around this, however. By using a VPN, as explained above, you can set your location to a country where the match is being broadcast and go from there.
Livestream Wolves vs. Chelsea in Canada
If you want to stream this EPL game live in Canada, you’ll need to subscribe to Fubo Canada. The service has exclusive rights to every Premier League fixture once again this season.
Fubo is the go-to destination for Canadians looking to watch the EPL this season, with exclusive streaming rights to every match. It costs CA$30 per month, though you can save some cash by paying quarterly or annually.
Livestream Wolves vs. Chelsea in Australia

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.
