The WSL is back and the Chelsea Women vs Man Utd Women live stream will have huge implications at the top of the table. One team is looking to extend their lead, while the other is trying to keep themselves in the title race — and it's easy to watch from anywhere using a VPN – potentially for FREE!

Chelsea Women have been hit by a major blow, with Sam Kerr becoming the latest female footballer to suffer a devastating ACL injury. The Blues and Matildas star will not feature again this season. Emma Hayes’s side has generally been on a great run of form but did lose 4-1 to Arsenal Women recently, meaning the title race is wide open. They go into the weekend just three points clear of Manchester City. 

Man Utd Women, meanwhile, lost their last WSL match before the winter break, suffering a shock 1-2 defeat at the hands of Liverpool. It is not the only questionable result Mark Skinner’s team have had and they know they face a huge test in this game. Ella Toone has netted three times in the last four games in all competitions and the Red Devils will need that run to continue.

With Lionesses such as goalkeeper Mary Earps on display alongside world stars, the Chelsea Women vs Man Utd Women live stream is set to attract a large crowd to Stamford Bridge. If you can't make it, read on to find out how to watch it from anywhere.

Chelsea Women vs Man Utd Women free live stream

Soccer fans in England can watch the Chelsea Women vs Man Utd Women WSL clash for FREE on BBC iPlayer. Fans in New Zealand are also lucky because the game is going to be streamed for FREE on TVNZ Plus.

But what if you're based in England or New Zealand but aren't at home to catch the Arsenal Women vs Chelsea Women live stream? Maybe you're on holiday and don't want to spend money on pay TV in another country, when you'd usually be able to watch for free at home?

Don't worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below.

How to watch the Chelsea Women vs Man Utd Women live stream wherever you are

As you'll read below, the Chelsea Women vs Man Utd Women live stream will be shown on many different channels across the world, but what if you're not in your home country and want to watch it on your usual streaming service?

The answer is to use a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN will let you tune into your home coverage from wherever you are — meaning that if you're abroad, you can use one of the best VPN services to watch the games live as if you were in your lounge.

Our favorite right now is ExpressVPN, thanks to its combination of superb speed, great customer service and excellent device support. It also offers a no-questions-asked 30-day money-back guarantee, so you could check it out without having to sign up long-term.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN 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, TVNZ+ or another service to watch the game.
