Manchester City begin their quest to regain the Premier League crown with an opening weekend trip to the West Midlands as they face a Wolves team determined to avoid another relegation scrap.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch Premier League games as they happen, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if it’s not available where you are.
After four successive EPL title triumphs, City fell short last season, finishing 12 points off of champions Liverpool. That tail off prompted manager Pep Guardiola to significantly overhaul his squad during the summer, with Dutch midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, exciting French winger Rayan Cherki and goalkeeper James Trafford being been brought in alongside Algerian left-back Rayan Ai-Nouri, who faces his old club today.
Meanwhile, Wolves boss Vitor Pereira looks set for another challenging campaign. Having impressively guided the club from rock bottom to safety last season following his appointment mid-way through the campaign the Portuguese coach must now deal with the loss of key men Nelson Semedo, Matheus Cunha and Ai-Nouri following their summer departures. How they fare this term will likely depend on how well Colombia international forward Jhon Arias settles in following his move from Brazilian club Fluminense last month.

How to watch the Premier League 2025-26 from anywhere with a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the EPL action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN use to access region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions, ensuring you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.

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.
