Southampton faces a challenging matchup against title-contending Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium today. The Saints, struggling defensively, have not managed to secure a clean sheet in any of their matches this season, and have conceded three goals in each of their last three games.
Manchester City recently had a tough time overcoming relegation-threatened Wolverhampton, winning 2-1 thanks to a late header from John Stones. However, as they aim to keep pace with Premier League leaders Liverpool, today’s match seems to favor Pep Guardiola’s side heavily.
The match is scheduled for Saturday, October 26, kicking off at 3 p.m. BST local time, which translates to 10 a.m. ET, 7 a.m. PT in the United States and Canada, and 1 a.m. AEDT in Australia early Sunday morning.
For viewers in the US looking to watch the match without cable, it will be available for streaming on Peacock. A Peacock Premium or Premium Plus account is required to access the live broadcast.
If you encounter geo-restrictions while trying to watch the Premier League from outside your home country, using a VPN can help. A VPN changes your virtual location, allowing you to bypass restrictions and enjoy the game. It’s essential to ensure your VPN is working properly to avoid any streaming service penalties for circumventing blackout rules.
In the UK, no broadcaster will air the match due to the 3 p.m. Saturday blackout, which aims to protect local attendances. Travelers in the UK can still watch by using a VPN to set their location to a country where the match is broadcasted.
