It's become one of the most storied modern rivalries in football, and Liverpool and Chelsea will pen a new chapter as they face off in the final of the Carabao Cup. This could be a classic, so keep reading for your full guide to getting a Carabao Cup final live stream and watching Liverpool vs Chelsea online from anywhere. 

These two sides played out the best 45 minutes of the season last month, a wild affair that served up red card controversy, defensive gaffes and four goals, including a piece of magic from Mohamed Salah and a hopping, swinging, dipping volley from Mateo Kovacic. 

The Reds' last two appearances in the final have gone to shootouts, Glen Johnson netting the winning spotkick when they last won the trophy in 2012. But so far it's evaded Jurgen Klopp, who saw his side lose the 2016 final to Man City. 

John Terry and Diego Costa fired the Blues to their last league cup triumph in 2015, but since then they've also lost a final to Man City on penalties. We've got all the info on how to live stream the Carabao Cup final from anywhere. And if you're out of the country and can't access your preferred domestic broadcaster, you can always use a VPN to bypass any geo-restrictions.

Carabao Cup final kick-off time

The Carabao Cup final is being played at Wembley Stadium and kicks off at 4.30pm GMT on Sunday, February 27

That makes it an 11.30am ET / 8.30am PT start in the US. It'll be an extremely late night (or equally extremely early morning) for footie fans in Australia, with the game kicking off at 3.30am AEDT on Sunday night/Monday morning.

How to live stream Carabao Cup final if you're abroad

If you're out of the country right now, you can still get access to a live stream - simply drop a shoulder and a shimmy, and use the best VPN around to get past those geo-restrictions. 

With most domestic broadcasters locking streaming services to their country, you may hit a wall when it comes to accessing the likes of Sky Sports and Kayo Sports when overseas. However, by getting yourself a handy streaming VPN, you can hop on a server within the UK or Australia (or anywhere else for that matter depending on where your online content is geo-restricted to), and this will switch your IP address to make it appear as if you're browsing right from the comfort of your own home.

How to use a VPN to unblock any restrictions

If you're outside of your preferred broadcaster's boundaries, you can use a VPN to unblock any geo-restrictions and watch a Liverpool vs Chelsea live stream as if you were right at home. Here's our step-by-step guide on how to do just that.

  • VPN - standing for virtual private network - offers security and anonymity as you browse online, using set protocols to encrypt your data and make it unreadable to outsiders.
  • As a part of that, you can also switch your IP address, which identifies your location.
  • Most VPNs offer a list of locations where its servers are based to join. Connecting to them switches your IP to appear as if you're browsing from that country/city. In turn, you can then access content locked to that country.
  • When it comes to finding a VPN, you should make sure you find the best one that's suitable for your chosen device, with VPN providers offering compatibility for a ton of devices, as well as nifty free VPNs.
  • Once you've made the decision for the most suitable VPN for your device and your means for using a VPN, sign-up and install it
  • To live stream Liverpool vs Chelsea, all you need to do is select the right server from its list of available servers and connect. You'll then be able to hop over those geo-restrictions, with your broadcaster of choice opening its online gates to you.
  • We also want to ensure your money is well spent, so we would recommend going for a VPN that offers a risk free trial. ExpressVPN is one of many providers that has a 30-day money back guarantee.
