Soccer Aid live stream: How to watch the UNICEF fundraiser for free

By Andrew Morrisey June 11, 2023

Soccer Aid 2023 takes place today, and many soccer fans are excited to watch the annual fundraising event. It’s the world’s biggest celebrity football match, after all, and with proceeds going to help kids get the best start in life they can, it’s a worthy gathering of big names to watch. You won’t find Soccer Aid 2023 on any of the best live TV streaming services, nor on any television or streaming platforms at all if you’re in the United States. Despite its popularity overseas, it’s a somewhat obscure event in the United States, and not the easiest thing to track down on a screen — bad news for Brits this side of the pond wanting to watch the action unfold live

There are two steps you’ll need to take in order to watch Soccer Aid in the United States. The event is being broadcast in the United Kingdom on ITV1. This isn’t a network you can access through Sling TV, FuboTV, or any of the streaming TV services you may be used to in the United States. However, ITV Hub is available via a range of devices, including phones, tablets, and laptops. Getting yourself access to ITV Hub is the first step you’ll need to take to watch Soccer Aid 2023. The second thing you’ll need to do is get yourself a good VPN.

Watch Soccer Aid 2023 with a VPN

Because the Soccer Aid UNICEF Fundraiser is a regionally-televised event, trying to access the ITV Hub from the United States won’t do you much good. There will be geographic restrictions in place for watching Soccer Aid, and anyone located in restricted areas won’t be able to watch. A VPN, however, allows you to set your geographic location by selecting from a range of servers in different countries if you’re a Brit travelling abroad, wanting to tune in.

NordVPN is one of the best VPN services you’ll find out there, and in combination with ITV Hub will allow you to watch the Soccer Aid UNICEF Fundraiser from anywhere in the world. All you’ll have to do is choose a server within the broadcast’s geographic area. NordVPN is relatively inexpensive and deals are almost always taking place. You can even take advantage of a NordVPN free trial for 30 days of free VPN service, which should get you seated nicely in front of the Soccer Aid 2023 broadcast.

Watch the Bayern Munich vs Manchester United live stream on Paramount Plus

Paramount Plus is a relatively new streaming service having began in March 2021 after previously being known as CBS All Access. It's the home of the UEFA Champions League so you need to sign up to it to catch the whole tournament. It costs $6 per month but you can watch solely the Bayern Munich vs Manchester United live stream for free by signing up for a Paramount Plus free trial. It only lasts seven days but it's a good taste of what the service has to offer. Keeping on top of what's new on Paramount Plus is a great idea but you can also be guaranteed of all things Star Trek as well as all things South Park, along with the Scream franchise and both Top Gun movies. There's also Yellowstone and its spin-off prequel, 1883, and Mayor of Kingstown too. Other soccer also features like the Europa League and Italy's Serie A.

To end Week 2 of the NFL season, there is a Monday Night Football doubleheader on September 18. The first game will be between the New Orleans Saints (1-0) and the Carolina Panthers (0-1). Yet, the second game garners our attention as the Cleveland Browns (1-0) travel across the Ohio border into Pennsylvania to face the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium. FanDuel has the Browns as a 2.5-point favorite.

The Browns came out flying in Week 1, dominating the Cincinnati Bengals from start to finish in a 24-3 victory. The Browns' defense was spectacular, holding Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow to 82 yards passing. The same thing cannot be said about the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, which surrendered 391 total yards to the San Francisco 49ers in a 30-7 loss.

Week 2 of the NFL season brings a special edition of Monday Night Football on September 18. There will be two games on Monday night for the first time this season. The first game will see the New Orleans Saints (1-0) traveling to North Carolina to take on the Carolina Panthers (0-1). The game will be played at Charlotte's Bank of America Stadium, home of the Panthers. On FanDuel, the Saints are a 3-point road favorite.
With new quarterback Derek Carr under center in Week 1, the Saints gutted out a 16-15 victory against the Tennessee Titans. Carr looked good in his first game wearing the gold and black, throwing for 305 yards and one touchdown. The Panthers also started a new quarterback in Week 1. Bryce Young, the first pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, struggled to find a rhythm, throwing two interceptions in the Panthers 24-10 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.
