Premier League Soccer: Live Stream Ipswich vs. Man City from anywhere

Man City will look to prove their recent resurgence is no flash in the pan as they host an Ipswich side looking to climb out of the relegation zone.

After a disastrous run of just one win in 13 games at the end of 2024, City appeared to have turned a corner after starting the new year with three straight wins. That streak was halted in midweek, however, when Pep Guardiola’s side let a two-goal lead slip away against Brentford to draw 2-2, casting further doubt on whether the Citizens can claim a Champions League qualification spot this term.

Next up for City is an Ipswich side who saw their hopes of escaping relegation dented after slipping to a 2-0 defeat at home to Brighton on Thursday. Despite this result, Kieran McKenna’s Tractor Boys remain just one behind 17th-placed Wolves and in-form strikers Omari Hutchinson and Liam Delap fancy their chances against a decidedly unconvincing City defence.

Ipswich Town take on Manchester City on Sunday 18 January at Portman Road, with kick-off set for 16:30 GMT local time. That makes it one 11:30 a.m. ET or 8:30 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 03:30 AEDT kickoff in Australia in the early hours of Monday morning.

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.

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.
