How to Watch Arsenal vs Athletic Club From Anywhere

The Emirates Cup preseason tournament wraps up on Saturday, August 9, when Arsenal hosts Athletic Club at Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta’s side will be keen to finish warm-up action on a high before their Premier League opener against Manchester United.

Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. BST (1 p.m. ET, 10 a.m. PT) in the US and 3 a.m. AEST in Australia on Sunday. This match won’t air on traditional TV, but Arsenal’s own streaming service offers pay-per-view and preseason packages.

Livestream by Region

Arsenal.com offers an Early Bird PPV for £5 if you buy before Thursday at 9 a.m. BST. Miss that window? A £15 preseason pass unlocks all remaining friendly matches, including games against Athletic Club and Villarreal.

Use a VPN for Global Access and Security

If you’re traveling or outside a supported region, a VPN encrypts your traffic, prevents ISP throttling and unlocks geo-restricted streams. It adds privacy on public Wi-Fi and keeps your connection secure from prying eyes.

VPNs are legal in most countries, but check your streaming service’s terms. Some platforms block VPN use, so confirm compatibility before kickoff and follow your provider’s setup instructions.

The match kicks off at 6 p.m. BST, 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT in North America and 3 a.m. AEST in Australia on Sunday morning.

Quick Tips for VPN Streaming

  • Verify your streaming account’s registered address matches the target region.
  • Install the VPN on your router or mobile hotspot to cover smart TVs without native apps.
  • Use a privacy-focused browser (like Brave) to prevent location leaks.
  • Check that your VPN provider supports your chosen streaming platform.

Final Thoughts

As Arsenal and Athletic Club meet in their final preseason game, ensuring reliable streaming and secure access means you won’t miss a moment of action. With VPN tips in hand, get ready to cheer on the Gunners wherever you are.
