The Crystal Palace vs Brentford live stream is a meeting between two Premier League sides in desperate need of a win — and you can watch it live from anywhere with a VPN.

Rumors persist that Roy Hodgson’s position as manager of Crystal Palace is under threat as the club are reportedly eyeing up former Nottm Forest manager Steve Cooper as a replacement. The pressure on Hodgson is understandable as Palace are now eight EPL games without a win, and while that run does include a draw with Man City and Brighton, the south-London side have now slipped down to 15th, and need to pick up all three points here. 

The situation is somewhat similar over at Brentford. While manager Thomas Frank isn’t under the same level of pressure as his Crystal Palace counterpart (yet), the Bees are on a similarly poor run having suffered four defeats in a row since beating Luton Town at the very start of the month. Brentford are just a place ahead of Palace in the table, with a single point separating these sides. 

Will the Eagles or the Bees finally get that much-need win? You’ll need to watch a Crystal Palace vs Brentford live stream to find out, and we’ve got all the details you need below.   

Plus, make sure you don’t miss any of the EPL action by checking out how to watch Premier League live streams.

How to watch the Crystal Palace vs Brentford live stream wherever you are

The Crystal Palace vs Brentford 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 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.K. and want to view a U.S. service, you'd select U.S. from the list.

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

Unfortunately, there will be no Crystal Palace vs Brentford live stream in the U.K. That's because the match has not been picked to be shown on TV.

As it stands, live Premier League rights are split three ways in the U.K. between Sky Sports, TNT Sports and Amazon Prime Video.

For the 23/24 season, Sky Sports is set to show 128 matches live, while TNT Sports will show 52 matches live, including every Saturday lunchtime kick-off. Amazon Prime Video will broadcast 20 matches including the Boxing Day schedule.
