Chelsea have won the FA Cup on eight occasions and have an impressive record of just two defeats from their last 47 ties at Stamford Bridge in this tournament.
Standing in their way of progress to the fifth round are an in-form Aston Villa, who have become genuine English Premier League title contenders under boss Unai Emery. The Spanish coach earned the moniker of “King of Cups” for his glittering time at Villarreal, and the former Arsenal manager will be relishing the opportunity for a deeper run in football’s most famous club knockout competition.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game live, wherever you are in the world.
Can I livestream the Chelsea vs. Aston Villa game in the UK?
The great news for footy fans in the UK is that free-to-air broadcasters the BBC and ITV are sharing live duties for this season’s FA Cup. The bad news is that this game has not been selected to be shown live on either network.
That also means that if you’re in the UK traveling for pleasure or for work, you’re unlikely to be able to watch the game like you normally would at home thanks to geo-blocking.
There is one option to get around this, however. By using a VPN, as explained above, you can set your location to a country where the match is being broadcast and go from there.
Can I livestream Chelsea vs. Aston Villa in Canada?
Canadian soccer fans looking to watch this FA Cup fixture can watch all the action live via Sportsnet.
