Two teams desperate to give their fans something to cheer after dismal English Premier League campaigns meet today in Bilbao, Spain, as Manchester United and Tottenham face off in an all-English UEFA Europa League final.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if they’re not available where you are.
Despite being on course for its worst-ever EPL campaign, winning just 10 of 37 games so far this term, today’s final offers Man United a chance to claim a major piece of silverware and a place in next season’s Champions League.
Like their opponents, Spurs have had a domestic season to forget, but manager Ange Postecoglou remains in contention to maintain his impressive record of winning a trophy in the second year of every managerial role he’s held.
The Australian will also draw confidence from the fact that Spurs have beaten Man United in all three of their previous meetings this season. The Londoners claimed home and away wins in the EPL, as well as a quarterfinal victory in the Carabao Cup.
Manchester United take on Tottenham on Wednesday, May 21, at the Estadio de San Mamés in Bilbao. Kickoff is set for 9 p.m. CEST local time in Spain. That means it’s an 8 p.m. BST start in the UK, a 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT kickoff in the US and Canada, and a 5 a.m. AEST start in Australia on Thursday morning.
A win for Spurs in today’s final would bring to an end a 17-year wait for a trophy, while a United win would mark their first piece of silverware since winning this tournament back in 2017.
Livestream Man United vs. Tottenham in the US
American soccer fans can watch the final live on CBS Sports Network, with the channel’s coverage also available to stream on Paramount Plus.
Manchester United legend Roy Keane joins the studio as a guest analyst for CBS’s coverage alongside Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards and host Anita Jones.
Paramount Plus has two main subscription plans in the US: Essential for $8 per month and Premium for $13 per month. Both offer coverage of the Europa League as well as the Champions League.
The cheaper Essential option has ads for on-demand streaming and lacks live CBS feeds as well as the ability to download shows to watch offline later. Newcomers to the service can take advantage of a 30-day free trial, while students may qualify for a 25% discount.

Hulu Plus Live TV, which includes access to Disney Plus and ESPN Plus, now costs $83 a month for its base package. Its channel selection isn’t as robust as YouTube TV, yet Hulu’s significant catalog of on-demand content sets it apart. Exclusive titles such as Shōgun, The Bear and Only Murders in the Building give it a content advantage no other service can match.
Live TV subscribers also receive unlimited DVR that includes fast-forwarding and on-demand playback — at no additional cost. It’s a move that has aligned Hulu with its competitors in terms of features, but the channel lineup may still be a deciding factor. It’s the same price as YouTube TV, which has more channels, but the access to Disney Plus and ESPN Plus may make it a more appealing choice for you. Read our Hulu Plus Live TV review.
With an excellent channel selection, easy-to-use interface and best-in-class cloud DVR, the $83 per month YouTube TV is one of the best cable TV replacements. It offers a 4K upgrade add-on for an additional price, but the downside is there isn’t much to watch at present unless you watch select channels. If you don’t mind paying a lot more than the Sling TVs of the world, or want to watch live NBA games, YouTube TV offers a high standard of live TV streaming. Read our YouTube TV review.
There’s a lot to like about Fubo — it offers a wide selection of channels and its sports focus makes it especially attractive to soccer fans or NBA, NHL and MLB fans who live in an area served by one of Fubo’s RSNs. It’s also a great choice for NFL fans because it’s one of three services, alongside YouTube TV and Hulu, that offer NFL Network and optional RedZone. As of February 2025, Fubo is charging more for its service and access to Bally Sports RSNs. The biggest hole in Fubo’s lineup is the lack of Warner Bros. Discovery networks, including Cartoon Network, CNN, Food Network, HGTV, TBS and TNT — especially as the latter two carry a lot of sports content, in particular MLB, NBA and NHL. Those missing channels, and the $85 price tag, make it less attractive than YouTube TV for most viewers. Read our Fubo review.
How to watch every UEFA Europa League 2024/25 game online for free from anywhere using a VPN
If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the Europa League action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming.
It encrypts your traffic and prevents your internet service provider from throttling your speeds. 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. They can also be helpful when connecting to public Wi-Fi networks while traveling, adding an extra layer of protection for your devices and logins.
However, some streaming services may have policies restricting VPN usage to access region-specific content. If you’re considering a VPN for streaming, check the platform’s terms of service to ensure compliance.
If you choose to use a VPN, follow the provider’s installation instructions, ensuring you’re connected securely and in compliance with applicable laws and service agreements. Some streaming platforms may block access when a VPN is detected, so verifying if your streaming subscription allows VPN usage is crucial.

A subscription will also give you access to Champions League and Europa Conference League action, as well as international rugby and Formula E.
Quick tips for streaming UEFA Europa League matches using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — your experience and success when streaming Europa League games 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 to fix quickly. First, log into 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 since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- 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.
