Pep Guardiola's Man City return to European action on Wednesday when they take on Sparta Prague in this UEFA Champions League match at the Etihad Stadium.

City go into this game with 4 points after a goalless draw at home to Inter Milan in the first game week, followed by a comfortable 4-0 away win against Slovan Bratislava last time out. The hosts secured a last-minute 2-1 away win against Wolves in the English Premier League at the weekend, but will be without key players Kevin De Bruyne and Kyle Walker in today's game.

Sparta are currently level on points with City and have made an encouraging start to their first appearance in the competition in almost two decades. The Czech champions achieved a respectable 1-1 draw in their last game away in Stuttgart.

Manchester City face Sparta Prague at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday October 23rd 8:00 p.m. BST local time in the UK, making it a 3:00 p.m. ET or 12:00 p.m. PT Kickoff in the USA and Canada and a 6am AEDT start in Australia on Thursday morning.

Below we highlight the best live TV streaming services to help you watch the game no matter where you are in the world.

Here's how you can watch every UEFA Champions League 2024/25 match online from anywhere using a VPN

If you are unable to watch UCL games locally, you may need another way to watch the games – this is where using a VPN can come in handy. A VPN is also the best way to prevent your ISP from throttling your speeds on game day by encrypting your traffic. It's also a good idea if you're traveling and connected to a Wi-Fi network and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.

With a VPN you can virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to gain access to the game. Most VPNs, like our Editors' Choice ExpressVPN, make this really easy.

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 are streaming. You should make sure your VPN is set up correctly to prevent leaks: Even if VPNs are legal, the streaming service can terminate the account of anyone it deems to be circumventing correctly applied blackout restrictions.

ExpressVPN is our current top VPN pick for people who want a reliable and secure VPN, and it works on a wide range of devices. It normally costs $13 per month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100, you'll get three months free and save 49%. That's $6.67 per month with code SPECIAL OFFERwhich should be applied automatically.

Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Quick tips for streaming UEFA Champions League games via a VPN

• With four variables at play – your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN – your experience and success streaming Champions League matches may vary.
• If you don't see your desired location as the default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “Search by city or country” option.
• If you're having trouble receiving the game after turning on your VPN and setting it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try to quickly fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and ensure that the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing range. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file in your account. Second, some smart TVs – like Roku – don't have VPN apps that you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you'll need to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you use (such as your phone) so that every 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 page 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 may be asked to confirm a numeric code or click a link that is sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. A VPN on your router also helps here, as both devices appear to be in the correct location.
• Keep in mind that browsers can often reveal a location despite using a VPN. Therefore, make sure you use a privacy-focused browser to log in to your services. We usually recommend Brave.
