West Ham vs Crystal Palace live stream: How to watch Premier League game online

There may be more febrile London derbies than West Ham vs Crystal Palace but David Moyes and Roy Hodgson, the Premier League's two oldest managers, will never underestimate the strength of feeling surrounding city bragging rights — and you can watch it live from anywhere with a VPN.

West Ham vs Crystal Palace live stream, Date, Time, Channels

The West Ham vs Crystal Palace live stream takes place Sunday, Dec. 3.
Time: 9 a.m. ET / 6 a.m. PT / 2 p.m. GMT / 1 a.m. AEDT (Dec. 4)
• U.K. — Watch on Sky Sports
• U.S. — Watch on Peacock

Between them, David Moyes and Roy Hodgson have taken charge of 1,075 Premier League matches in their extensive managerial careers. When the West Ham and Crystal Palace managers take their respective places in the London Stadium dugouts on Sunday, it won't be for the lack of experience that either side comes away empty-handed. 

West Ham seem to have turned a corner after a run of one win in seven from mid-September came to a recent end with back-to-back defeats of Nottingham Forest and Burnley. One-nil down with four minutes to go, the Hammers' 2-1 victory at Turf Moor said much about the team spirit Moyes has instilled, with academy graduate Divin Mubama impressing in a late cameo off the bench. Fresh from qualifying for the Europa League knockout stages on Thursday night, the side will target three points to get closer to the top eight.

Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are struggling with form and injuries. Attacking talisman Ebere Eze is missing, while midfield totem Cheick Doucouré picked up a serious knee injury in last weekend's 2-1 defeat at Luton, the Eagles' fourth in their past five league outings. The returning Michael Olisé did score a goal-of-the-season contender in that Bedfordshire loss and much will depend on the Frenchman's sinuous quality if Hodgson's side is to get back to winning ways.

The West Ham vs Crystal Palace 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.

Whichever package you go for, you'll also gain access to coverage in 4K and HDR, so long as you also have an HDR-ready Sky Q box and HLG-compatible TV.

Sky Glass is another option. This gives you Sky TV within a 4K TV that has a built-in Dolby Atmos soundbar, and without the need for a dish. Prices start at £14/month for the TV, plus a Sky sub on top of that.

This gives you 24-hour access for £11.98 or month-long access for £34.99. And right now there's a special offer where if you commit to a year, you pay the equivalent of £26 a month.
