Chelsea will look to redeem themselves by getting their hands on the FA cup after a lazy Carabao cup final performance against Liverpool. Manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has been hanging on for his job all season but after a 3-1 win against Newcastle last week they are looking in a much better position.

Leicester City are shining at the top of the Championship and look to be heading straight back to the Premier league. It was only in 2021 when The Foxes won a historic FA Cup final against Chelsea. Since then both teams have had a stumble but are heading upwards.

Tune in to see who progresses and read on as we explain all the ways to watch Chelsea vs Leicester live streams wherever you are.

If you live in the U.K. then you can enjoy every single minute of this quarter final clash without spending a penny. That's because Chelsea vs Leicester will be streaming for FREE.

The full game will be shown via an online stream available on BBC iPlayer so you can watch every single dramatic moment without needing a streaming service subscription or having to pay a box office fee.

But what if you're usually based in the U.K. but aren't at home for the Chelsea vs Leicester live stream? Perhaps, you're on holiday and don't want to spend money on a paid streaming service in a foreign country when you'd usually be able to watch for free at home.

Don't worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead, and we'll show you how to do that below. Our favorite VPN service right now is NordVPN, but you'll find others in our best VPN services list.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, NordVPN is our favorite.

2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance, if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.

3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to BBC iPlayer or another service and watch the game.
