How to Watch the Newcastle vs. Chelsea (Outside the UK and US)

SlingTV and Peacock are some of our favorite sports streamers, but they are only available in the U.S. To get them to work outside of the country and watch the game this weekend, you’ll need an American IP address. Using a virtual private network (VPN), you can change your digital location and unblock access to all kinds of websites and their content.

Here’s how you can live stream Newcastle vs. Chelsea (or any other Premier League games) with a VPN.

1. Get a Surfshark subscription

By using a VPN, you can change your IP address to a country of your choice. You can get yourself an American IP address even if you’re not in the country. Doing so will allow you to bypass geo-blocking and access websites and content that are only available to U.S. users.

We’ve reviewed nearly 70 VPN providers on the market, and Surfshark always comes out on top for sports streaming. We’ve used it to watch plenty of Premier League matchups this year.

Here are a few points that make Surfshark our favorite:

  • More than 600 USA servers in 15 different cities
  • Static IP addresses for streaming servers in New York and London
  • Blazing fast, Wireguard-powered connection speeds

You can find Surfshark on all major app stores, and it works on devices running Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. You can also set it up on your router or Smart TV. Once you’ve downloaded the app or software package, just log in and click on and connect to a server in the U.S.

Newcastle vs. Chelsea: What to Expect

Chelsea and Newcastle should put up an entertaining fight this Saturday. Newcastle is in the best form fans have seen in a long time. They’re currently sitting in third place in the standings with just one loss in their 14 matches. That’s a massive improvement for a team that was on the verge of relegation last season! Chelsea, on the other hand, seem to have come off their “new manager bounce” and have now gone four matches without a win!

Newcastle has the home-turf advantage this weekend, and they’re going to make the most of it as they have already taken down some Top 6 giants this season. They drew 3-3 with Manchester City, beat Spurs 2-1, held Manchester United to a 0-0 draw, and very nearly took down Liverpool too. If one thing is certain, it’s that they won’t be fearing Chelsea on Saturday!

Miguel Almiron has been in fine form this season, with the Paraguayan midfielder seemingly carrying Newcastle’s attack. Almiron has scored 8 goals so far this season, which puts him in fourth place overall in the league for goals scored. Four of those goals came in the last four matches too, and he’ll be looking to continue his hot streak. Elsewhere, Kieran Trippier has been a dangerous asset for The Magpies. The defender has been creative in attack, taking dangerous free kicks at goal and sending in tempting crosses from corners.

For the Blues, nothing seems to be working at the moment. Their attack seems lackluster, while their defense has been struggling to keep the ball out of their net too, so there aren’t many notable players in form to keep an eye on. Chelsea failed to score in their previous game against Arsenal and only managed one goal in their 4-1 defeat to Brighton. Some serious changes may need to be made for this weekend’s lineup against Newcastle.

It’s the final Premier League weekend before the World Cup kicks off in Qatar, so fans have a can’t miss-weekend of football. The Premier League returns on Monday, December 26, for what’s expected to be some phenomenal Boxing Day play.
