Premier League Champions Liverpool’s preseason tour of Asia comes to a close on Wednesday as they head to Japan to take on J 1 League outfit Yokohama FM.
Arne Slot’s men will be looking to bounce back from their 4-2 defeat to Italian giants AC Milan in Hong Kong at the weekend. That match saw record signing Florian Wirtz make his first start for Liverpool since making a $156 million move from Bayer Leverkusen.
Facing the Reds is a Yokohama team that’s midway through its J1 League campaign and struggling to avoid relegation in 18th position in the standings, with winger Daiya Tono and Brazilian youngster Yan Matheus its key attacking threats.
Yokohama FM takes on Liverpool FC on Wednesday, July 30, at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama. Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. JST local time in Japan. That makes it a 6:30 a.m. ET or a 3:30 a.m. PT start in the US, an 11:30 a.m. BST kickoff in the UK, and an 8:30 p.m. AEST start in Australia.
The great news for footy fans is that today’s match will be broadcast on CBS Sports Network. That means you’ll also be able to watch the game online via streaming platform Paramount Plus.
Paramount Plus has two plans: Paramount Plus Essential and Paramount Plus Premium, which used to be called Paramount Plus with Showtime. Essential costs $8 per month and includes ads and a sampling of Showtime programming. Premium removes ads and unlocks more Showtime titles, among other perks.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. It can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins. VPNs are legal in many countries, including the US and Canada, and can be used for legitimate purposes such as improving online privacy and security.
ExpressVPN is our current best VPN pick for people who want a reliable and safe VPN that works on a variety of devices. It’s normally $13 a month, but if you sign up for an annual subscription for $100, you’ll get three months free and save 49%. That’s the equivalent of $6.67 a month.
Note that ExpressVPN offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Quick tips for streaming the preseason friendly soccer using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming this match may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble getting the game after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is an address in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs — like Roku — don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All of the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a cable network’s sports app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, because both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log into your services. We normally recommend Brave.
