Leicester v Southampton live stream: how to watch the FA Cup wherever you are in the world

Leicester v Southampton live stream, BT Sport, Sunday 18 April, 6.30pm BST

Leicester and Southampton face off at Wembley on Sunday for a spot in the FA Cup final and the chance to claim some rare domestic silverware. 

Saints have only won the trophy once, in 1976, while the Foxes have never lifted it and haven’t reached the final since 1969. 

Brendan Rodgers’ side battled past Stoke, Brentford, Brighton and Manchester United to reach this stage, while Southampton conquered Shrewsbury, Arsenal, Wolves and Bournemouth.

The two sides are having contrasting seasons in the Premier League, with Leicester chasing Champions League qualification and Ralph Hassenhutl trying to secure his side’s safety.

The King Power outfit are currently third, 20 points better off than Saints down in 14th place. 

However, they head to Wembley in similar form. Leicester are coming off back-to-back defeats against Manchester City and West Ham but won their previous three matches, while Southampton were beaten 3-0 by West Brom last time out after two consecutive wins.

They will be cheered on by a small crowd of up to 4,000 fans at the national stadium in a test event for the return of spectators.

Harvey Barnes, James Justin, Cengiz Under and Wes Morgan miss out for Leicester through injury, but Caglar Soyuncu should return.

It is likely that Hamza Choudhury, Ayoze Perez and James Maddison will be back in the squad after being dropped for the game against West Ham for breaching Covid-19 protocols.

Michael Obafemi, Oriol Romeu and William Smallbone are on the injury list for Southampton.

Kick-off is at 6.30pm BST and the game is being shown on BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate in the UK. See below for watching details where you are.

Use a VPN to watch a Leicester v Southampton live stream from outside your country

If you’re on holiday or just simply out of the country, your domestic on-demand services won’t work – the broadcaster knows exactly where you are from your IP address. Your access to the game will be automatically blocked, which is annoying if you’ve paid a subscription fee and don't want to use an illegal, buffering stream that makes you miss another Jose Mourinho tantrum. And that's where we recommend ExpressVPN (more on which below). 

All you need to do is get a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to get beyond such aggravations (assuming it complies with your broadcaster’s T&Cs). A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, meaning suppliers can’t work out where you are and what you’re doing. The info going to and from is entirely encrypted.

There are plenty of options out there, including: 

ExpressVPN including a 30-day, money-back guarantee

FourFourTwo’s brainy office mates TechRadar love its super speedy connections, trustworthy security and the fact it works with Android, Apple, Roku, Amazon Fire TV, PS4 and loads more. You also get a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support and it's currently available for a knockdown price. Go get it!
