Watch the Premier League in Australia from AU$7 a month

Nottingham Forest make the trip to the capital today seeking a crucial win over West Ham to preserve their dwindling prospects of qualifying for the Champions League.
Below, we’ll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if the match isn’t available where you are.
The visitors’ hopes of finishing in the top five took a severe knock last weekend after they were held to a disappointing 2-2 stalemate with already relegated Leicester City. While that result ensured the Tricky Trees will be playing European football next season, boss Nuno Espírito Santo will be determined to go one better and secure a coveted UCL spot.
West Ham, meanwhile, ended an eight-game winless run last weekend with an impressive 2-0 away victory over Manchester United. The Hammers will be aiming for another strong performance today in their final home fixture of the campaign — a match that also marks an emotional farewell for Aaron Cresswell, Vladimír Coufal, Łukasz Fabiański, and Danny Ings, with the veteran quartet all set to depart the club at the end of the season.
West Ham United take on Nottingham Forest on Sunday, May 18, at the London Stadium, with kickoff set for 2:15 p.m. BST local time. That makes it a 9:15 a.m. ET or 6:15 a.m. PT start in the US and Canada, and a 11:15 p.m. AEST kickoff in Australia.
