Premier League Soccer: Livestream Ipswich vs. Leicester From Anywhere

Premier League Soccer: Livestream Ipswich vs. Leicester From Anywhere

Still winless after nine games, relegation candidates Ipswich take on fellow promoted side Leicester at Portman Road on Saturday. 

Kieran McKenna's Tractor Boys conspired to throw away a two-goal lead last weekend as they crashed to a 4-2 defeat against Brentford in a match which acutely highlighted Ipswich's frailties at the back.  

Leicester appear to have adapted to the demands of the Premier League much better than the side they face today, with the visitors currently five points clear of Ipswich. Leicester boss Steve Cooper will nevertheless be expecting to see a response from his side after seeing them slip to two heavy defeats, with last weekend's 3-1 EPL loss to Nottingham Forest followed by a 5-2 midweek thrashing at the hands of Man United in the Carabao Cup.  

Ipswich Town take on Leicester City on Saturday, Nov. 2 at Portman Road, with kickoff set for 3 p.m. GMT local time, making it a 11 a.m. ET or 8 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada and a 2 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia in the early hours of Sunday 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 Ipswich vs. Leicester in the US without cable

Saturday's Ipswich Town vs. Leicester City match is streaming on Peacock. You'll need a Peacock Premium or Premium Plus account to catch the game live. 

How to watch the Premier League 2024-25 season from anywhere with a VPN

If you find yourself unable to view EPL 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. 

Can I livestream Ipswich vs. Leicester in the UK?

No broadcaster has the rights to show this game live in the UK, due to the traditional Saturday 3 p.m. kickoff blackout, which prohibits matches being shown in the region at that time in order to protect attendances throughout the English football pyramid. 

That also means that if you're in the UK traveling for pleasure or for work, you're unlikely to be able to watch the game like you normally would at home, thanks to geoblocking. 

There's one option to get around this, however. By using a VPN, as explained above, you can set your location to a country where the match is being broadcast and go from there.

Livestream Ipswich vs. Leicester in Canada

If you want to stream this EPL game live in Canada, you'll need to subscribe to Fubo Canada. The service has exclusive rights to every Premier League fixture once again this season.

Livestream Ipswich vs. Leicester in Australia

Football fans down under can watch EPL matches live on streaming service Optus Sport, which is showing every single Premier League fixture of the 2024-25 season live in Australia.

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.
