Two sides that have made contrasting starts to the 2023-24 Premier League season go head-to-head on Sunday as defending champs Manchester City take on newly promoted Sheffield United.
City will be looking to make it nine points from nine, following last weekend’s statement 1-0 win over Newcastle last weekend, which followed a convincing 3-0 victory over Burnley in Gameweek 1.
Having been widely tipped to be among this season’s strugglers, Sheffield United have so far lived up to their relegation contender status with a 1-0 defeat at home to Crystal Palace followed up by a 2-1 loss away at Nottingham Forest last time out.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch all of the action live wherever you are in the world.
Goalscoring machine Erling Haaland will be looking to add to his tally on Sunday after scoring a brace against Burnley in Gameweek 1.
Sheffield United host Man City at Bramall Lane on Sunday, Aug. 27. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. BST (9 a.m. ET, 6 p.m PT, 11 p.m. AEST).
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. So if your internet provider or mobile carrier has stuck you with an IP address that incorrectly shows your location in a blackout zone, a VPN can correct that problem by giving you an IP address in your correct, non-blackout area. 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.

It’s normally $13 per month, and you can sign up for ExpressVPN and save 49% plus get three months of access for free — the equivalent of $6.67 per month — if you get an annual subscription.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
