Watch Liverpool vs Manchester United: live streams, TV channel, kick-off time

Watch Liverpool vs Manchester United today for the pick of the games in this weekend's round of Premier League fixtures, with plenty of live streams, TV channels, and the ability to watch from anywhere with a VPN.

Liverpool are flying high at the top of the Premier League, going into this weekend six points clear with a game in hand. The post Jurgen Klopp slump has not materialised and new manager Arne Slot has enjoyed a dream start to life at Anfield. There are question marks surrounding the futures of star men Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk, but on the pitch the trio have all been sensational.

The same cannot be said of Manchester United, who are in a wretched way. The sacking of Erik Ten Hag and the arrival of new manager Ruben Amorim appeared to produce an initial spike in form but they've lost their last four games on the spin. Things are so bad that Amorim has even spoken about the threat of relegation – unthinkable for a club of this stature.

Regardless of form, a meeting between Liverpool and Manchester United is always an occasion to be savoured, with an electric atmosphere a certainty in the latest clash between these fierce and historic rivals from the North West of England.

Read on for all the details on how to watch Liverpool vs Manchester United online, on TV, and from anywhere.

In the UK, Liverpool vs Man United will be broadcast on Sky Sports, on the Main Event channel.

You can get Sky Sports on various pay-TV packages.

Sky is also now offering a simpler streaming option with its Sky Stream Puck device, which will cost £35 a month on a minimum two-year contract, although you do get Netflix included.

The way to stream Sky Sports with less of a commitment is through Now TV, which costs £14.99 for a day pass and currently £26 a month for a month's worth.

If you're a Sky Sports or Now TV subscriber and you're not currently in the UK, you can still watch Liverpool vs Manchester United by using a VPN – more on that below.

NBC comes on cable TV packages. No cable? No problem. There are a range of cord-cutting streaming platforms that can give you all the channels, such as Sling and Fubo.

With Sling, you need the Sling Blue package, which costs between $46 and $51 a month depending on your region. Fubo comes in pricier at $79.99 a month, but you do get more channels.

Alternatively, there is a simpler and cheaper option: Peacock.

If you're currently travelling outside of the US, you can still access your Peacock subscription by using a VPN such as NordVPN.
