Former Reds midfielder Xabi Alonso makes his return to Anfield on Tuesday as his Bayer Leverkusen side visits Liverpool in this tasty Champions League match-up.
Currently in a somewhat disappointing sixth position in the Bundesliga, Leverkusen have made a slower start this term compared to their record-breaking last season, but nevertheless find themselves unbeaten in this tournament, with 7 points from their first three UCL fixtures.
Current Premier League leaders Liverpool will meanwhile be hoping to make it an unhappy homecoming for Alonso as they look to extend a 13-match unbeaten run against German opponents in European competition, with the Merseysiders on a streak of 10 wins and three draws.
Liverpool takes on Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday, Nov. 5 at Anfield, with kickoff set for 8 p.m. GMT local time in the UK. That makes it a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT kickoff in the US and Canada, and a 7 a.m. AEDT start in Australia on Wednesday morning.
Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the match as it happens, wherever you are in the world.

How to watch every UEFA Champions League 2024/25 game online from anywhere using a VPN
If you find yourself unable to view UCL matches locally, you may need a different way to watch the games -- 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.
