Liverpool hosts Nottingham Forest at Anfield this Saturday, and US soccer fans can stream the Premier League clash without a cable subscription. Both clubs are chasing a first league win under new management, setting up an intriguing early-season matchup.
New Reds manager Andoni Iraola will be looking for his first English Premier League victory in charge. Liverpool arrives on the back of a 2-2 draw at Newcastle last weekend, rescued by a Dominik Szoboszlai penalty deep into second-half stoppage time. It was the Hungarian midfielder’s 16th Premier League goal in 106 appearances for the club.
Nottingham Forest has struggled under Oliver Glasner, the former Crystal Palace boss. Forest suffered back-to-back defeats away at Leeds, first in the Premier League last weekend and then a 2-0 loss in the Carabao Cup midweek.

Watching the Premier League From Anywhere With a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with the EPL, a VPN can help improve your privacy and security while streaming. Virtual private networks encrypt your traffic and prevent your internet provider from throttling your speeds. They also add protection when you connect to public Wi-Fi networks on the go.
VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as strengthening online privacy. However, some streaming services restrict VPN use for accessing region-specific content, so check the platform’s terms of service before subscribing. Some platforms may block access when a VPN is detected.
Among streaming-focused options, ExpressVPN is based in the British Virgin Islands, a privacy-friendly jurisdiction, and offers easy setup across platforms, though it comes at a premium price and does not support multihop connections.
