The future of Chelsea remains up in the air, but on the pitch they just keep winning. Today they host fellow West London side Brentford, who have been transformed by Christian Eriksen. Read on for your full guide to getting a Chelsea vs Brentford live stream and watching the Premier League game online from anywhere. 

Thomas Tuchel's Blues won't be winning any style prizes, but there's no arguing with the results. They've won 12 of their past 13 games across all competitions, 12 of those being gritty, hard-fought, clench-your-teeth affairs decided by a single goal. 

The Bees look like a different team with Eriksen in it, and the Danish playmaker comes into this clash off the back of an outstanding return to international football.

We've got all the info on how to live stream Chelsea vs Brentford 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.

Chelsea vs Brentford kick-off time

The Chelsea vs Brentford game is being played at Stamford Bridge, and kicks off at 3pm BST on Saturday, April 2

That makes it a 10am ET / 7am PT start in the US. It'll be a late night for Premier League fans in Australia, with kick-off at 1am AEDT on Saturday night/Sunday morning (with the clocks set to change just after the game).

How to live stream Chelsea vs Brentford 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 Sling or Optus Sport when overseas. However, by getting yourself a handy streaming VPN, you can hop on a server within the US 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 Chelsea vs Brentford 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 Chelsea vs Brentford, 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.
