Stamford Bridge has been a miserable hunting ground for Chelsea this month, with their three home fixtures yielding zero points. Thomas Tuchel’s men have conceded a whopping 11 goals in those games, but can West Ham’s Michail Antonio cash in? He hasn’t scored in the league since New Year’s Day, and would love to end his goal drought against the Hammers’ London rivals. Make sure you know how to watch a Chelsea vs West Ham live stream in 4K and wherever you are.
US soccer fans can tune in on USA Network to watch a Chelsea vs West Ham live stream for free with a FuboTV free trial. Don’t forget to subscribe to a VPN for FuboTV access if you’re a US fan stuck outside the States. Those in the UK can enjoy the game in 4K HDR on Sky, and in HD on Now.

Chelsea’s defence has been their bedrock all season, but it has fallen apart spectacularly. Their 4-2 midweek mauling at the hands of Arsenal was a low point, with club captain César Azpilicueta compounding a miserable evening by throwing a ridiculous tantrum that culminated in a confrontation with Chelsea’s own supporters. The prospect of Tottenham closing the gap to the Blues was laughable a couple of months ago, but there’s only five points separating the two sides now. Chelsea need to get back on track, quickly.
David Moyes’ men have done tremendously well to retain a spot in the European places while earning a place in the Europa League semi-finals, but the pressure is mounting by the week. Beating Chelsea is always sweet, especially so if it’s a freakish Arthur Masuaku effort that wins it, but victory could also provide precious momentum for the critical period ahead.
Kick-off is at 2pm BST, Sunday 24th April. Read on to find out on how to watch a Chelsea vs West Ham live stream, wherever you are in the world, on TV, online and on mobile.
US: Chelsea vs West Ham live stream
Premier League football fans in the US can watch a Chelsea vs West Ham live stream on USA Network, which can be accessed through cable-cutting services Sling and FuboTV.
Sling currently has an offer where you can get the first month of its Sling TV Blue package for half-price, so that’s $17.50 instead of $35. Meanwhile, you can watch a Chelsea vs West Ham free live stream with the 7-day free trial of FuboTV. There are no long contracts with either service. If you’re not happy with them, you can cancel them at any time.
Of course, Sling and FuboTV are only available within the States so be sure to use a VPN if you’re a US subscriber stuck abroad. We recommend ExpressVPN as it’s reliable and comes with a risk-free 30-day money-back guarantee.
Watch a Chelsea vs West Ham live stream from abroad using a VPN
Even if you have subscribed to the relevant service for a Chelsea vs West Ham live stream, you won’t be able to access it when you’re outside your home country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. VPNs are easy to use and create a private connection between your device and the internet. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.
There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you’re not happy with the service any time within the first 30 days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
How to use a VPN for Chelsea vs West Ham
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. ExpressVPN is the one we recommend.
2. Open up the VPN app and choose the location of the service you wish to access. For Chelsea vs West Ham, you may wish to choose ‘US’ for Sling or FuboTV.
3. Then head over to Sling or FuboTV on your browser or device and enjoy the Chelsea vs West Ham live stream.
If, for whatever reason, you can’t get it working, do remember that you have the comfort of a 30-day money back guarantee with ExpressVPN. You could also try NordVPN, which also comes with a 30-day money back guarantee, and Surfshark which offers 24 hour assistance.

Match Of The Day has been shown live on TV on Saturday evening (almost) since time began, and is now joined by Match Of The Day 2 on Sundays. But what about watching Premier League highlights online?

The show won’t be available straight after the programme finishes its live broadcast. Weekend editions of Match Of The Day will be online from midnight on Monday (in practice, the early hours of Tuesday morning), while midweek episodes will be on iPlayer from midnight the day after it’s broadcast.
You can download Match Of The Day for offline viewing, but it is time-sensitive and will disappear as soon as the programme leaves iPlayer.
