Newcastle vs. Wimbledon Livestream: How to Watch Carabao Cup Soccer From Anywhere

After the elements put paid to last week's scheduled matchup between these two teams, underdogs AFC Wimbledon finally get to take on English Premier League club Newcastle today in this third-round EFL Cup clash. 

Torrential rain caused part of the pitch at Wimbledon's Cherry Red Records Arena to collapse last Monday, forcing the tie to be postponed and moved to Newcastle's St. James' Park. 

Newcastle come into today's game fresh from earning a draw against Pep Guardiola's Man City at the weekend in the EPL. Alexander Isak and Matt Targett are both confirmed absentees for the hosts for this cup clash, but Kieran Tripper could be available for the Magpies should he pass a late fitness test. 

Wimbledon have made a strong start to the season in League Two, with four wins from their opening six fixtures, and have already caused one upset in this competition, having knocked out top-flight Ipswich in the previous round.

The prize for tonight's victors is a home tie against in-form Chelsea.  

Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live wherever you are in the world.

This Carabao Cup third-round game between Newcastle and Wimbledon takes place at St. James' Park on Tuesday, Oct. 1. Kickoff is set for 7:45 p.m. local time in the UK, which is 2:45 p.m. ET and 11:45 a.m. PT in the US, and 4:45 a.m. AEDT on Wednesday, Oct. 2, in Australia.

How to watch the Newcastle vs. Wimbledon EFL Cup match online from anywhere using a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view the game locally, you may need a different way to watch this match -- 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.

Quick tips for streaming the Carabao Cup using a VPN 

With four variables at play -- your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN -- your experience and success when streaming this cup clash 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.
