Chelsea vs Villarreal live stream: How to watch the UEFA Super Cup final wherever you are in the world
Watch a Chelsea vs Villarreal live stream in the Super Cup season opener
Chelsea vs Villarreal live stream, BT Sport, Wednesday August 11, 8pm BST
Get your Chelsea vs Villarreal live stream fired up, as it's time for the Europan season curtain-raiser (ignoring Champions League and Europa League qualifiers for a moment) in the 2021 Super Cup.
Thomas Tuchel's Champions League-winning Chelsea side includes Tammy Abraham in the matchday squad, despite the striker being heavily linked with a move to Roma in the coming days. That would be part of a series of transfers that would see Romelu Lukaku join the Blues – but although the Belgian could confirm his move this evening, he won't be appearing tonight.
Tuchel has suggested that players who were in their country's squads for the Euro 2020 final last month – including Mason Mount, Ben Chilwell and Jorginho – may not play in the Super Cup due to lack of pre-season training time.
Their late return to club set-up has also been noted by Villarreal boss Unai Emery, who has never won the Super Cup despite being a three-time Europa League winner.
Kick-off is at 8pm BST and the game is being shown on BT Sport 1 andBT Sport Ultimate in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.
Use a VPN to watch a Chelsea vs Villarreal 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 Jose Mourinho tantrum. 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:
ExpressVPN including a 30-day, money-back guarantee
