The Parisians return to action after the international break at the top of Ligue 1 after seven matches. But they face this match with stars Bradley Barcola, João Neves and Ousmane Dembélé all considered doubtful to play due to injury.

How to watch PSG vs. Strasbourg in the US without cable
Saturday’s game is live on beIN Sports, which holds the broadcast rights for Ligue 1 matches in the US.
There are several options for watching beIN, with a number of US cable and satellite TV providers offering the network as part of their channel lineups, including Dish Network, Optimum and Spectrum (the latter requiring a $7-a-month premium for the Sports View add-on).
If you’re a cord-cutter, there’s also a whole host of streaming platforms that carry beIN Sports.
With an excellent channel selection, easy-to-use interface and best-in-class cloud DVR, the $83 per month YouTube TV is one of the best cable TV replacements. In order to watch beIN Sports on the platform you’ll need its Sports Plus add-on, which costs an additional $11 per month. Read our YouTube TV review.
BeIN is available on Sling TV as part of its Sports Extra add-on for either Sling Orange or Sling Blue.
Its Orange and Blue monthly packages start at $46 per month, and you can combine them for a monthly rate of $61 ($60 in some regions), with Sports Extra costing an extra $11 a month. The Orange option nets you one stream, while Blue gives you three. It’s not as comprehensive or as easy to navigate as YouTube, but with a bit of work, including adding an antenna or an AirTV 2 DVR, it’s an unbeatable value. We’ll also add that the service offers local channels such as ABC and CBS in some regions where the monthly rate is $45.
It’s worth noting that Sling has recently introduced Day, Weekend and Week passes for Sling Orange, with prices starting from $5 for 24 hours’ worth of viewing. Read our Sling TV review.
There’s a lot to like about Fubo. In addition to beIN Sports, it offers a wide selection of channels, plus its sports focus makes it especially attractive to soccer fans, as well as NBA, NHL and MLB fans who live in an area served by one of Fubo’s RSNs. It starts at $85 a month. Read our Fubo review.
You can also get beIN content via beIN Sports Connect, the network’s standalone streaming platform. You can log in with your cable or streaming service credentials if your provider has beIN in the package. This allows you to stream live matches and other programming on various devices (smartphones, tablets, laptops and so on).
Make sure to check if beIN Sports is included in the specific package or plan you are considering, as it might be part of a sports bundle or require an additional subscription.
How to watch Ligue 1 from anywhere with a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with the latest Ligue 1 action while away from home, a virtual private network 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 it’s crucial to verify whether your streaming subscription allows VPN usage.

Quick tips for streaming Ligue 1 soccer using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming Ligue 1 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.
- 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.
