The standout fixture of this weekend’s English Premier League schedule sees Michael Carrick’s Manchester United battle it out with noisy neighbors Manchester City for local bragging rights at Old Trafford.

The first Manchester derby of the season is also Enzo Maresca’s first as City manager. The Italian coach is unlikely to feel daunted, having seen his Sky Blues team win all three of their Premier League fixtures so far.

While scoring goals has not been a problem for the host, United has worryingly conceded in all three of its EPL matches so far this season. Ainsley Maitland-Niles’ thunderbolt strike for Everton denied the Red Devils all three points away last weekend while also illustrating their continuing defensive vulnerabilities.

Manchester United takes on Manchester City on Sunday, Sept. 13, at Old Trafford, with kickoff set for 4:30 p.m. BST. That makes it an 11:30 a.m. ET or 8:30 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 1:30 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Monday morning.

How to watch the Premier League 2026-27 from anywhere with a virtual private network

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. 

VPNs 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.
