Leicester vs. Arsenal Livestream: How to Watch Premier League Soccer From Anywhere – CNET

After last weekend’s enthralling 4-2 win over Aston Villa, Arsenal will be hoping for a decidedly less dramatic encounter in this latest trip to the Midlands, as they face Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Two injury-time goals demonstrated Arsenal’s resolve and sealed all three points for the Gunners last Saturday in what could prove a vital result come the end of the season.

With title rivals Man City surprisingly dropping points to Nottingham Forest last weekend and Pep Guardiola’s men not in action until later on Saturday, the Gunners could open a handy five-point lead at the top of the English Premier League with a win here.

While recent results and performances have vastly improved for the hosts, Leicester remain very much in a fight to avoid relegation. The Foxes failed to capitalize on a strong first-half performance against Man United last Sunday before being steamrollered by the Red Devils, highlighting their defensive vulnerabilities. 

Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.

Leicester City vs. Arsenal: When and where?

Leicester City host Arsenal at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, Feb. 25. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. local time in the UK (10 a.m. ET, 7 a.m. PT in the US, and at 2 a.m. AEST on Sunday, Feb. 12 in Australia).

How to watch the Leicester vs. Arsenal game online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch the game — that’s where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to stop your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic, and it’s also a great idea if you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network, and you want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

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

Using a VPN to watch or stream sports is legal in any country where VPNs are legal, including the US, UK and Canada, as long as you have a legitimate subscription to the service you’re streaming. You should be sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even where VPNs are legal, the streaming service may terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

Can I livestream the Leicester City vs. Arsenal game in the UK?

No broadcaster has the rights to show this game live in the UK, due to the traditional Saturday 3 p.m. kick-off blackout, which prohibits matches being shown in the region at that time in order to protect attendances throughout the English football pyramid.

That also means that if you’re in the UK traveling for pleasure or for work, you’re unlikely to be able to watch the game like you normally would at home thanks to geo-blocking.

There is one option to get around this, however. 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 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.
