An improving Manchester United head to the East Midlands on Saturday to take on a Nottingham Forest team still searching for its first win under new boss Sean Dyche.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch English 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.
The Red Devils have won three straight EPL fixtures for the first time under manager Ruben Amorim, and could climb into the UEFA Champions League spots with another victory here today.
Having led the Tricky Trees to an impressive 2-0 Europa League win over Porto in his first game in charge, the tough task ahead for Dyche was made clear last weekend as Forest slipped to a 2-0 defeat away to Bournemouth. That result leaves the hosts just three points off the foot of the table.
Nottingham Forest takes on Manchester United on Saturday, Nov. 1, at the City Ground, with kickoff set for 3 p.m. GMT. That makes it a 11 a.m. ET or 8 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 2 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia.

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. Additionally, it can be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, providing 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.

Can I livestream Nottingham Forest vs. Man United in the UK?
No broadcaster has the rights to show this game live in the UK because of the traditional Saturday 3 p.m. kickoff blackout. This prohibits matches from being shown in the region at that time to protect attendances throughout the English football pyramid.
That also means that if you’re traveling in the UK, you’re unlikely to be able to watch the game as you normally would at home due to geoblocking.
There’s one option to circumvent this. As explained above, you can use a VPN to set your location to a country where the match is being broadcast and then proceed 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 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 in to 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. 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.
