Watch FA Cup Soccer: Livestream Bournemouth vs. Wolves From Anywhere

Having faced each other last weekend in the Premier League, Bournemouth and Wolves go at it again once Moree today, with a place in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup at stake. 

Last Saturday’s EPL clash at the Vitality Stadium saw Matheus Cunha give struggling Wolves a valuable three points in their fight against relegation, in a match which saw Bournemouth defender Illia Zabarnyi receive a first-half red card. 

Both sides made it through to the fifth round of this tournament off the back of 2-0 victories, with the Cherries getting the better of Premier League rivals Everton, and Vitor Pereira’s Wolves seeing off the challenge of Championship side Blackburn Rovers. 

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

Bournemouth vs. Wolves: When and where?

AFC Bournemouth take on Wolverhampton Wanderers sin this FA Cup fifth-round match at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday, March 1. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. GMT local time in the UK, which is  10 a.m. ET or 7 a.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 2 a.m. AEDT in Australia early on Sunday morning.

How to watch the Bournemouth vs. Wolves game online from anywhere using 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.

This match is streaming exclusively live in the US on ESPN Plus. Kickoff is at 10 a.m. ET on Saturday. 

Can I livestream the Bournemouth vs. Wolves game in the UK?

While free-to-air broadcasters the BBC and ITV are sharing live duties for this season’s FA Cup, this match has not been selected for broadcast. 

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 geo-blocking.

There is 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.

Quick tips for streaming the FA Cup using a VPN 

• With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming FA Cup 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.
