Premier League Soccer: Live Stream Man United vs. Brighton from anywhere

Manchester United welcome a team from the south coast to Old Trafford for the second time in a week when the Red Devils host Brighton at Old Trafford on Saturday.

The hosts are riding high after a stirring comeback against Southampton on Thursday, fighting back from a goal down to claim a 3-1 victory thanks to an Amad Diallo hat-trick.

They will now look to close the five points between them and their opponents today, with Brighton coming into this game on the back of a professional 0-2 away win at Ipswich.

Manchester United take on Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday 18 January at Old Trafford with kick-off set for 5pm. 14:00 GMT local time. That makes it one 9 a.m. ET or 6 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 1am AEDT kickoff in Australia in the early hours of Monday morning.

Below we will 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 anywhere with a VPN

If you are unable to watch EPL matches locally, you may need another way to watch the games – this is where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a good idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and you will add an extra layer of privacy to your devices and logins.

With a VPN, you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to access the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it really easy to do this.

It’s legal to use a VPN to watch or stream sports in all countries where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. Make sure your VPN is set up properly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service can terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing properly applied blackout restrictions.

Can I live stream Man United vs. Brighton in the UK?

This early afternoon match has not been selected to be shown live by any English broadcaster.

It also means that if you’re in the UK and traveling for pleasure or work, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to watch the game as you normally would at home thanks to geo-blocking.

However, there is one way around this. 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.

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