Chelsea returns from the international break looking to improve on its stuttering start to its campaign as it hosts a Bournemouth team that is still looking for its first English Premier League win of the season.

Firmly in midtable, goals haven’t been hard to come by so far under new boss Xabi Alonso, with only Arsenal and Brighton having scored more this season than Chelsea. The Blues’ defense, however, will undoubtedly have been given some extra attention on the training pitches at Cobham during the international break, with the West Londoners having shipped a worrying 12 goals so far — the most of any EPL team.

Winless Bournemouth, meanwhile, still appears to be coming to terms with new boss Marco Rose. Its impressive win over Real Sociedad in the UEFA Europa League, coupled with an unlucky 1-0 defeat to Liverpool at the Vitality Stadium before the international break, suggests an uptick in results may be imminent.

Chelsea takes on Bournemouth on Saturday, Oct. 10, at Stamford Bridge in West London, with kickoff set for 3 p.m. BST. That makes it a 10 a.m. ET or 7 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 1 a.m. AEDT kickoff in Australia.

How to watch the Premier League 2026-27 from anywhere with a VPN

If you’re traveling abroad and want to keep up with all the EPL action while away from home, a VPN can help enhance your privacy and security when streaming. 

Virtual private networks encrypt your traffic and prevent your internet service provider from throttling your speeds, and 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. 

However, some streaming services may have policies that restrict VPN use for accessing 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 to ensure 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. 

Can I livestream Chelsea vs. Bournemouth in the UK?

No broadcaster in the UK has the rights to show this game live because of the traditional Saturday 3 p.m. kickoff blackout. This prohibits matches from being shown in the region at that time to protect attendances throughout the English football pyramid.   

That also means that if you’re traveling in the UK, you’re unlikely to be able to watch the game as you normally would at home due to geoblocking.
