Athletic Club hosts Arsenal in a captivating Champions League early kickoff on Tuesday, marking the first-ever competitive meeting between these two teams. This article outlines how to livestream the game, regardless of your location, exploring various streaming services and the benefits of using a VPN.
Where to Watch: Streaming Options Around the World

Australian football fans can watch UCL matches on Stan Sport, which has exclusive rights to all 189 Champions League games this season. A Stan Sport subscription costs AU$20 a month (on top of a Stan subscription starting at AU$12), with a seven-day free trial available. It also provides access to Premier League, Europa League action, and international rugby.
Using a VPN: Accessing Games from Anywhere
If you’re unable to view the game locally due to blackout restrictions, a Virtual Private Network (VPN) can help. A VPN encrypts your traffic and virtually changes your location, allowing you to access content as if you were in a different region. It also prevents your ISP from throttling your speeds and adds an extra layer of privacy when using public Wi-Fi.
It’s important to ensure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks and that you have a legitimate subscription to the streaming service.
ExpressVPN is currently our top recommendation for a reliable and safe VPN, available for various devices. Prices start at $3.49 a month with a two-year plan.
- Price: $13 per month, $75 for the first year, or $98 total for the first two years
- Network: 3,000+ servers in 105 countries
Quick Tips for Streaming with a VPN
- If the desired location isn’t a default option in ExpressVPN, use the “search for city or country” tool.
- Verify the address registered to your streaming service account is in the correct viewing area.
- For smart TVs like Roku, install the VPN on your router or mobile hotspot, ensuring any device on the Wi-Fi network appears in the correct location.
- Use a privacy-focused browser to log into your streaming services. Brave is often recommended.
