Newcastle vs Arsenal FREE streams
The first leg saw extensive free-to-air coverage and while that's not the case for the second leg, you can still watch Newcastle vs Arsenal for free in Canada with DAZN.
DAZN opens up its paywall for select events each week and after doing so for the first leg, will repeat the offer for the second leg on Wednesday. You just need to register, without paying for a subscription.
In the UK, there is no free coverage of Newcastle vs Arsenal – the first leg was broadcast on ITV but the second leg is not being shown there, although the second leg of Liverpool vs Spurs on Thursday will be on ITV.
Watch Newcastle vs Arsenal from anywhere
What if you're away from home for the game, and your usual streaming service is geo-restricted? Well, there is a neat solution. A VPN - or Virtual Private Network - is a piece of software that sets your IP address to make your device appear to be in any country in the world.
Provided it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs, you can use a VPN to unblock the streaming services you subscribe to, and it also comes with added internet security benefits.
FourFourTwo’s colleagues TechRadar are experts in this field, and they reckon NordVPN is the best VPN provider on the market.
