Southampton faces a daunting challenge today as they go up against title contenders Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. The struggling Saints have yet to achieve a clean sheet this season, having conceded three goals in each of their last three matches.
In their previous outing, Manchester City narrowly secured a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton, who are battling to avoid relegation, with John Stones scoring a decisive header late in the game. On paper, today’s match appears to heavily favor Pep Guardiola’s team as they aim to keep up with Premier League leaders Liverpool.
The clash between Manchester City and Southampton is scheduled for Saturday, October 26, 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 on Sunday morning in Australia.
For those wanting to watch the match live, it will be streamed on Peacock in the U.S. Viewers will need a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus account to access the live broadcast.
If you’re traveling or unable to view the match locally, utilizing a VPN can help. A VPN allows you to change your virtual location, enabling access to geo-restricted content while also providing an extra layer of security for your internet connection.
In the UK, no broadcaster holds live rights for this match due to the traditional blackout of Saturday 3 p.m. kickoffs. This means fans in the UK, whether at home or traveling, are unlikely to see the match unless they use a VPN to access broadcasts from other locations.
In Canada, fans can stream the match live on Fubo Canada, which has exclusive rights to all Premier League games this season. Meanwhile, in Australia, Optus Sport will show every Premier League fixture live, with subscription costs starting as low as AU$7 a month for Optus network customers, and AU$25 for standalone subscriptions.
