Brentford vs Preston North End live stream, Sky Sports, Wednesday July 15, 5pm BST

Brentford are absolutely flying following five straight wins since the break. After West Brom's goalless draw against Fulham on Tuesday night, the Bees know a win against Preston will take them to within a point of the second-placed Baggies with two matches left. 

It'll take a bigger effort from Preston to get into promotion contention but it's not beyond the realms of possibility. A win today would be a huge step towards that late surge into the mix.

Kick-off is at 5pm BST and the game is being shown on Sky Sports Football in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.

Use a VPN to watch a Brentford vs Preston North End live stream from outside your country 

If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal, buffering stream that makes you miss another Bruno Fernandes masterclass. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below). 

All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.

There are plenty of options out there, including:
