Having been pipped by Newcastle to a Champions League spot at the end of last season, Aston Villa has the opportunity to exact revenge at home today as it hosts the Magpies in this first Saturday fixture of the new English Premier League campaign.
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.
The hosts are largely unchanged from last season, with Villa’s main summer signing Evann Guessand set to make his EPL debut today following the Ivorian striker’s $40 million move from Nice.
Villa boss Unai Emery may be disappointed by his club’s relatively quiet transfer window, but that frustration is likely to pale in comparison to that of his opposite number. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has seen several key targets, including Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Šeško, head elsewhere. And his star striker Alexander Isak’s effort to force through a move to Liverpool means the Swedish international is unlikely to play for the Geordies again.
Aston Villa takes on Newcastle United on Saturday, Aug. 16, at Villa Park in Birmingham, with kickoff set for 12:30 p.m. BST. That makes it a 7:30 p.m. ET or 4:30 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 9:30 p.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Saturday morning.
Anthony Elanga is set to make his first EPL appearance for Newcastle today following his $71 million move from Nottingham Forest.

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.
