It's the biggest game of the Premier League season and could well decide the title, so here's where to watch a Man City vs. Arsenal live stream online today. There's a super cheap option available in the US, letting you watch this enticing encounter for less than the price of a beer. For those outside of the States, if your local viewing options don't take your fancy, we can show you how to use a VPN to watch the game from anywhere.
Man City may be five points behind Arsenal, but they also have two games in hand and are in excellent form right now, with Haaland continuing to terrorize defenses all over Europe. City are still in European competition, which may prove a distraction for their remaining Premier League games, even if they are admittedly against weaker opposition than the Gunners' remaining opponents.
Where to watch Man City vs. Arsenal live stream (US)
Watching a Man City vs. Arsenal live stream online in the US via Peacock is the only option today as it's not being broadcast on TV. And because it's an evening game in the UK, it's a 3 p.m. ET kickoff today. If you're outside the US right now, follow the steps below to get access. There's no free trial, but Peacock is one of the most affordable streaming services out there, with the cheapest pick being the $4.99 a month Premium Plan (we can confirm this tier includes Premier League games). There's an annual option that will save you 17%, but you're free to go monthly instead and drop it anytime you like. This is considerably cheaper monthly or annually than UK fans pay to watch the Premier League.
What if you're not in the US?
If you want to take advantage of the super cheap live stream of Man City vs. Liverpool that US viewers get, but you're not in the US right now, you'll find online geo-restrictions will block access to your usual Peacock live stream. Fear not, as that's where a VPN comes in. This lets your device appear to be in a different country and offers excellent privacy options at home or on public Wi-Fi for your phone, laptop, streaming devices, and more. Our preferred option of all the best VPN providers is ExpressVPN, which comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee if you're unsatisfied. Check out the latest deal details below.
How to watch Man City vs. Arsenal online with a VPN
- Sign up for a VPN if you don't have one.

- Sign up for Peacock.
- Kickoff: 3 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. GMT / 9 p.m. CET
How to watch Man City vs. Arsenal live stream (UK)
Today's official viewing option in the UK is on BT Sport 1 with an 8 p.m. kickoff. You don't have to sign up for a lengthy contract to get access, as a BT Sport monthly pass is now available on a rolling one-month deal for £29.99. Check out BT's package deals if you are after a larger TV/broadband bundle. Given how little of the season is left now, we'd opt for the monthly pass. This will also cover you for the remaining Champions League and Europa League games.
Is there a free Man City vs. Arsenal live stream option?
If this was a Champions League or FA Cup game, a free option would be available via the US streaming service free trials as found on Paramount Plus or Sling. However, Peacock has the Premier League rights in the US and no longer has a free trial. That said, it's a very cheap streaming service at just $4.99 a month, and you can cancel anytime.
We've extensively checked a wide range of global options in case your VPN would set you up with some distant free live streams, and every option we checked involved signing up for a paid service. We thought we were close, as some Sub-Saharan African countries can watch games on live free-to-air TV, but when it comes to online streaming of any of those channels, you'll need to pay up. Cheer up though, US soccer fans. You've got a seriously low bill compared to most countries.
