Plenty of options on TV and on line.

Which method are you after?

Yes plenty of games just google the schedules of TSN and Rogers Sportsnet.

No Match of the Day but highlights on those channels.

Poss more EPL in Canada than in the UK. No 3pm black out here so sat it is possible to watch 3 games live and Sunday usually 2.

We have The EPL review show, like MOTD but without the humour.

These are on TSN, and SNWL (sportsnet world) today I watched the Everton Swansea and Arsenal Liverpool FA cup games.

the 2nd website gets updated daily with what is available...not always the best feeds but plenty of them. If possible, try and click on the link that describes the programme rather than link 1 link 2 etc which often require other software

not much,n always sky plus MOTD and on sundays in pub n soccer Saturday or pub, watching online is new to me,

I ant got a Scooby doo regarding fake I.Ps and VPNs

Sportsnet is just like sky, cost is minimal $20 a month or there abouts, if u already got cable into the house. Footie is on early too 8am and 10 am KO so no one be watching much at that time.

Also it's on a month to month basis so no 3 year lock in.

For me I am a footie addict so it's a $5 a week addiction, cheap entertainment really IMO

It is called soccer at times in the UK too as evidenced by the store 'Soccer Scene' that has locations in Carnaby Street and Oxford Street:

Try downloading the Tor browser as it will mask your IP address. There are other methods to use as well that others can discuss as I haven't used any in about six months so am not up to date.

Good, we don't want to see that type of nonsense on here, so just watch it in the future. ;)

In addition to wiziwig, there's also

feed2all and
firstrow

Tons of live match links on these and match of the day is there too. MOTD2 as well and ITV's version when it's the cup.

Mediahint is a small download that once installed needs no mucking about to disable/enable and it gives you access to ITV/C4/BBC and C5 LIVE and BACK-UP (although I've not tried C5 yet).

Sometimes there are a buffering issues with BBC, so for MOTD you're likely better off using one from the links. But ITV works like a dream - if you have an ad blocker, you may need to disable it for the time you watch.

I watch England games on ITV on line even though they're on TV here. I'd rather listen to Andy Townsend's drivel than stuff about back stick, at the half etc. :frown:

I use a Chrome extension called Hola! which masks my IP address and makes it look like I am in the UK.

I then asked a family member back home to provide me with their online log-in information for their Virgin Media and/or Sky account which then gives me access to BBC for MOTD and Sky Sports/BR Sports for League, Cup and European Games.. as well as a host of other UK channels.

There are several versions of firstrow, in case one isn't doing the biz.
